The West Tisbury Library and all the young future firefighters would like to thank Jesse Oliver and the West Tisbury fire department for providing such a fabulous firefighting show and tell for our library story time. Jesse came with his entire 90-pound outfit, the brush cutter truck, hoses (with real water!) and red fire helmets for all. The summer reading theme this year is every hero has a story, and we wanted to highlight our local community heroes. He shared stories, fire safety tips and most of all made all the children feel more comfortable with the idea of firefighters helping them, should that type of emergency arise.
