Working Hard To Help You Play!

Firefighters Honored With Firetruck Themed Play Equipment

When I was a teenager growing up in Oregon, summer fire watch in the mountains near my home was a very important job!  An even more important job was to be the firefighter who risked their life to keep our communities safe from these disasters.  So when our manufacturer, BCI Burke, committed their resources to designing this realistic firetruck themed play equipment it seemed like a perfect fit for any community park, fire station or school. What a great way to honor the fireman and enable the children to imagine themselves in their fire gear, slide down the pole, climb the ladder and promote this valuable profession!  

Playground Professional magazine featured our firetruck in a past publication. Please visit their link for more information...
