For parents who are planning a “firefighter” theme for their youngster’s birthday party, and are looking for the one thing
that’s missing from their list to make the party complete, we may have the answer.

Not only can we provide a real fire engine to come to the party, but we can actually give the kids a ride.  The rig we use
can accommodate fourteen kids in seatbelts.  We usually bring a second rig so as many as ten grown-ups can ride, as well.

We typically take the kids on a pre-determined ride around their neighborhood, although other destinations can be arranged. 
During the ride, the birthday boy or girl can wear real firefighter “turn-out gear” including coat, pants, boots and helmet.

 

               

After the ride, we can talk to the kids for a few minutes about fire safety.  We gear the presentation to the age level of the
kids, and we also have fire safety packets with coloring books and fire-safety games that we give to the kids to take home.

                      The "Birthday" rig will accommodate FOURTEEN KIDS and TWO ADULTS



                                                

                    We will also bring one of these rigs so EIGHT ADDITIONAL ADULTS can ride

What could make a more memorable birthday for your youngster than a ride
on a vintage fire engine?  Imagine the excitement when a classic fire engine
pulls up in front of your home to give the “birthday boy or girl” and their
birthday party friends a ride around the neighborhood.  There’s a safe place
for ALL the kids to ride and even a few parents too.  We will pre-arrange our
arrival time as well as the “route” of travel for this “ride of a lifetime”. 
The fire engine will be staffed by experienced drivers and safety personnel
from the Last Resort Fire Department, many of whom are professional
firefighters and state certified EMT’s. 
 

 

In addition to your special “ride”, our personnel can give a brief fire safety
presentation geared to the age level of the children at your party.  We will
discuss things such as emergency phone numbers, smoke detectors, fire hazards
in the home, what to do if the smoke detector goes off, and the proper procedure
to follow if your clothes catch fire.  We even have a packet of fire safety handouts
for each of the kids – fire engines and fire equipment to color, and drawings of a
“hazard house”.  You and your child can work together finding all those hard-to-find
fire hazards.  Who knows, mom and dad might even recall some fire safety tips
they’d forgotten.  So, besides being a whole lot of fun, this birthday can be a
learning experience too.  And we mustn’t forget the highlight of the trip – if they
want to, the birthday boy or girl even gets to wear real “bunking” gear - coat,
pants, boots and a fire helmet – just their size.  Besides learning valuable
life-saving information, they really get to be a “Firefighter for a Day”.

                        
    

We always have the birthday boy or girl visit our facility beforehand to see
the collection, and also to see the rig that will be coming to their party, so
they won’t be overwhelmed when a real fire engine pulls up in front of their
home.  This also gives the “birthday mom or dad” an opportunity to see the
rig so they can answer any questions the other parents may have about riding
accommodations.  In addition, the visit gives us a chance to pre-plan our route,
arrival time, etc., and provide waivers for the other parents to sign in advance. 
Although, most of our parties involve a ride around the neighborhood, we can
meet or go to a park, playground, fast-food or pizza restaurant, or even visit
a fire station in your neighborhood for a short tour.  Arrangements for these,
of course, have to be made in advance, and we can help you with that.

 As shown in the photo below, we can cover the rig on rainy or very hot days.

    

We ask a donation for the "Birthday" rig, plus mileage, starting and ending at our
facility in Ballard.  Our week-ends fill up fast, so if you have a date in mind, it's
best to reserve it early.
 

A FEW IMPORTANT GUIDELINES: The party must be located in Seattle or the surrounding area.  Consideration will be given to the distance from our facility in Ballard and accessibility to the party location. A waiver must be signed by anyone who intends to ride. No one under two years of age is allowed to ride. No pets, food or beverages are allowed on the rig.  (water is o.k.) LRFD safety personnel have the final determination on potential riders and the location where each person can ride. LRFD personnel will load and unload all riders.
