The great thing about this house is that being on the airport grounds, the alarms are few and far between. Also, the airport is always a winning location for the kids. This is a great group of guys who are brilliant with the kids. And, if my uncle, Barry Devine, is on rotation the day you visit, tell him his favorite nephew says, "Wake up!!"

Worth checking out for winter water fall. It's very close to the fire station .. falls under the…read morebridge. There is free parking and follow the sound of the falls. It's a pretty decent falls so has to be really cold for weeks to freeze. To get the good view ... well you have to walk out on a ledge. That day it was still icy and slippery. I was alone and more than a little afraid of falling. But really afraid of falling off the ledge into the water or frozen water ... possibly to my death. The ledge to get the view i wanted is slanted down so being icy it was scary. after this stop i went to Charleston falls.

I agree with the earlier reviewer that the Ludlow Falls are breathtaking and deserve their own Yelp…read morePark Page because you can't see when you are driving on the bridge which hides their beauty. I heard about these falls on the news the previous weekend this May. While cliff diving looks appealing, the alluring, serene flow of the water hides a strong undertow, trapping the would-be swimmer / diver from surfacing. The warning signs pointing this is out are routinely stolen. As a result, local park servicemen have posted new signage deterring folks from jumping into the falls. The best way to enjoy these falls are from the banks or walking down the hidden stair case so you can be level with them. We opened some IPAs from the local Troy brewery, Moellers and watched the waters pass by. Nicole is local to this area and had never been here before. When asked, her parents recalled the Christmas light festivities that hung across the falls many years ago which was fun to go to. However, this annual activity is no longer. Definitely worth a stop if you like water falls.

Each time I've needed a car seat installed they have been ready and willing to help, especially Ron who installed all three for me. We recently went to a birthday party at the firehouse and all of the firemen were present for the entire tour; engaging with the 4-6 year olds and answering any questions they had. The kiddos got to go inside of the fire truck and ambulance and watch a fireman get dressed. They were then given a tour inside and revived a fire hat to take home.

Goodness gracious, this fine crew was friendly, informative, and took time to show mini future firefighters the equipment and hoses used to banish great balls of fire.

There was a huge turnout, and the firefighters and EMS staff could not have been more amazing with the kids. They had a big shiny ladder truck all set up as the backdrop for the book reading, and when that was complete, they demonstrated how to put on their gear and raised the ladder up on the truck. Afterwards, they welcomed families over to the station and showed them more of the trucks and demonstrated various features and showed off gear while answering the many questions curious kids peppered them with. They were so kind and welcoming.

Visted station 6 of the Anderson Township Fire Department. Not for any sort of emergency mind you,…read morebut for a community open house. Station 6 played host to various emergency response units, as well as community partners, for a day of education, fun, and food. These type of events are great for both children and parents. Children get to enjoy climbing in and on the vehicles, trying on gear, and watching/participating in various demonstrations. This sort of outreach event helps eduate about newly added services. It also serves as a reminder to update information. Adults come home with a multitude of pamphlets. These pamphlets, combined with children's excitement of the day, acts as a great motivator for families to practice/ go over emergency safety plans at home. I thank the men and women who help keep Anderson safe, not only when there is an emergency, but before one can start.
