No, we didn't have an emergency, but we got to see the Fire Engines, Ambulances and Police Cars up close at the Saint Louis Park Fire Station Open House! This was so great because countless times a day we hear the sirens from one of these vehicles and Madeline runs to the window to see which flashing lights are going by this time :-) The seemingly endless blaring of sirens happens so frequently because our apartment is "conveniently" located between the fire station, the police station and Methodist hospital.
The Open House was great! We got to meet the firemen and see them put out a small fire. They even had a "Madeline size" fire jacket and she got her very own fire hat!
She especially liked Sparky , the fire dog :-) 
We could have waited in line for a ride in the fire truck, 
but Madeline was more interested in eating cookies and playing at the playground -
maybe we'll save that adventure for next year :-)
