Tiger Cubs from Pack 56: (from left to right) Erik Thorstenn, Trevor Hanson, David Leary, Scott Kiley, Liam Wilson, Christopher Trabulsi, Robert McLoughlin, Robert Hyer and Jack Riceman. Tiger Scouts from Pack 56 visited the Hempstead Firehouse on Clinton Avenue this past Columbus Day.

Special thanks to ex-Chief Ansell and ex-Chief James for hosting this event.

The boys were given a full tour of the Firehouse, fire trucks and the ambulance. The Tiger Cubs learned all about the gear on the trucks and the gear the fireman wear. They were educated on the tools the fireman use during a fire or emergency and had a chance to ring the fire bell. But the absolute highlight of the trip was that each boy had a chance to go on and inside each fire truck and explore all the amazing things they found inside each truck.

A great time was had by all and in true Scout fashion, the boys learned the importance of the great work the firefighters do in our community.
