The kids got to see all the equipment, climb on the trucks, sit in the driver's seat, the whole deal. Not only that but they showed us the big kitchen, and where they hang out and watch TV. They get to lounge around a lot, but boy do they have to keep that place spiffy and the truck squeaky clean. Do you know how much water one of those pumper trucks holds? I forget, but it's a lot. We got lucky since while we were there they got a call, and we watched the firefighters get on their gear and the trucks head out. But it gets better, because they literally went next door. So we went out on the sidewalk and watched them in action! Who wouldn't want to be a fire fighter?

There is no signage that children are not allowed in or on them. I witnessed 2 young boys age 8, 9, 10 running around in there trying to use the tread mills...turning them way up almost getting hurt. I told them they should not play on the equipment. However, there is no supervision, or sign saying "children are not allowed on the equipment". If a child gets hurt up there New Brighton could be sued for no signage stating this. I told the front desk and they said they have cameras watching, but there is nothing to state no children and no help available if they get hurt & the front desk is too busy to watch what is going on up there all the time. This is dangerous for kids and dangerous for NBCC if someone gets hurt.

Also, note that these clinics fill up fast so check online and book in advance for spot in your area. The fire station is used so that you can pull your car inside the garage for the staff to check out your car. It was helpful that you can bring both cars and your car seats for staff. There is a bathroom as well for you while you wait. Once staff member available, you review your car manual as well as car seat instructions. They will assist with you finding the best position for your car seat. Also, it was very helpful that they tried out before teaching you. There is also a doll for your try to put into the seat to make sure all straps are secure. It was nice that there was reading material provided for you to review on your own. This was very educational and staff here are very helpful. I would highly recommend this for first-time parents since hospital will require this before discharging you after delivery.

I am a senior female of color and have been treated with great respect fortunately. This past summer two men were heard yelling at one another one morning with the result of one getting stabbed, yes at 10 am behind our garages ( 1880's house converted into 4 rentals). The perpetrator ran away from the victim right up our driveway. And our neighbor who witnessed everything called the police who arrived in minutes. The second incident was at our post office near highway 52 on a boiling June day this summer of 90 degrees. A Mexican mother ran into the post office at 5 pm yelling to borrow a cell phone speaking only Spanish I speak fluent Spanish and asked her why and she said she must call her husband ( rush hour) to come with the keys for her 2 year old child was locked in the car. I quickly told her in Spanish, no time, we must call the police who CAME in less than 5 minutes of my call. The child had passed out was sweating to an extreme her tiny body was very hot after he immediately got the door open. I told the mother to please take the child out bring her inside the cool post office give her water and the mother REFUSED. So I quickly informed the officer, he felt the child and agreed and insisted the mother remove and cool her down. He was truly kind patient calm respectful of us all. The child was SO hot... I think she had left her in the car windows all closed while she had gone into the post office .......

But…read moretoday, 8/12/2024 I was at Children's hospital and got lost going to the Pharmacy with my grand baby and ended up into the cafeteria. There was a Police officer at the end of the line closer to me but I skipped him and looked at the person in front of him and asked him to direct me to the Pharmacy. The person did not hear me but this officer kindly directed me to the Pharmacy. He actually had to explain a couple of times the directions. It was not too far but listening to an officer was just nerve wrecking. Anyway, after the visit to the Pharmacy I went to thank the officer and I don't know if he knew that I was nervous but he carried a good conversation with me, taking the fear of unknown away from me. When leaving I asked for his name and he just said Chris, like some local, regular person, but I asked for his last name, and then he just handed me his business card. When I was in the car heading home, I looked at the card and it said "Commander" under his name Christopher Kasal. I almost melted, he was not even just a regular officer but a Commander. I was talking to a Commander yo'all! Oh Wow! What a humble human being. He actually treated me like some important person for real!. Thank you very much Commander Kasal and St. Paul Police for having people like him in your department.
