The Waterman Fire Department opened its doors to four Waterman Tiger Cub Scouts for a visit on Jan. 10.

When scout leader Randy Leifheit asked if he could bring his Tiger Cubs to visit, Fire Chief David Lave, who is scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 139, quickly agreed. Tiger Cubs Will Leifheit, Dylan White, Alex Whitely and Cole Jernigan were given a tour of the fire station.

The boys thought the radio room was cool, the meeting room was OK, and the highlight of the kitchen was that one Tiger Cub found a penny. Then Troop 139 Eagle Scouts Nick Cipra and Mitchell Lave – who also is a firefighter – took the Cubs to see the good stuff – the big red trucks. The Cubs tried on turnout gear, turned on the trucks’ emergency lights, explored the ambulance and talked to each other on headsets.
