My Apology To Emerson School and LFD
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2015 10:23 am
The Lakewood Observer has a long history of working with Lakewood City Schools, and Emerson has always been one of our favorite schools. Likewise the Lakewood Fire Department has grown near and dear to my heart. Watching these guys run into burning buildings, saving lives in accidents while putting their lives on the line every day, like observing our police, gives you a real appreciation for what they do.
This is why, it is doubling troubling that I am finally posting photos from the...
2015 Junior-Fire-Chief Drive To School...
Each year the Lakewood Fire Department chooses a "Junior Fire Chief Of The Year," This year it was Madeline Oldfield from Emerson School.
Perhaps you remember Madeline from when she made her speech at the Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial, part of her duties. One of the best parts of the deal, is being taking to school in the fire engine! this past Thursday, 10.08
The students and paparazzi line up, everyone is excited.

Emerson students line up, Everyone loves fire trucks, and many studies show that fire fighters are the most loved and trusted images to children.
With sirens blaring, and traffic moving out of the way, at rush hour, the fire truck appeared!
Fire Marshal Tim Dunphy steps up to the curb.
And disappears in the rush of paparazzi.
Fire Marshal Tim Dunphy helps Madeline out of the cab.
her brother and sister follow.
Her classmates check out the truck.
Time for a quick photo.
OK everyone, back in school!
My apologies to 2015 Junior Fire Chief Madeline Oldfield, and her classmates, to Emerson School, and of course to the Lakewood Fired Department. When you call them, they come right to you, I should have posted these earlier.
