Do you get goosebumps when you see a firetruck roar by with sirens and horns blaring? Were you ever teased for wearing a fire helmet to school or taking the “stop, drop, and roll” drills a little too seriously? Maybe your love of firefighters was stoked after that cute crew of Seattle’s finest showed up at your office after you accidentally burned some microwave popcorn. No matter how you came to love firefighters (or fire trucks), you now have the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a Seattle firefighter at one of the city’s busiest stations.

Your firehouse experience will include a personalized tour, rescue demonstrations, pole sliding, Instagramming, hanging with the crews, and, of course, a traditional firehouse dinner. And who knows, if we happen to get an alarm while you are visiting, maybe you ride along with us?!

Following the wisdom of Lt. Steven McCaffrey (from “Backdraft,” the best movie ever!), “you go, we go” to Station 17!
