We want the best for your child’s birthday party. Fun Time Fire Truck provides you with a REAL Fire Engine.  The children will obviously be very excited when we arrive and everyone’s safety is our first concern.  To make sure everything runs smoothly we provide you with the following guidelines to make the event fun, and most importantly safe for all.

LOCATION:

• We prefer not to operate on busy streets. Sometimes this can not be avoided so you need to let us know ahead of time so we can provide the proper signs and cones to control traffic and protect the party guests.

• Leave at least 70 feet of clear parking area where you want the Fire Engine to park.  This is a full size, real Fire Engine.  Our driver will not double park the fire engine, so please provide adequate space. One suggestion is to block off your street or parking area prior to your guests arriving to prevent moving cars prior to the fire trucks arrival. The best location is the street directly in front of your home or location.

• We prefer NOT to park in driveways. Our fire engine is very heavy and can easily crack normal residential driveways due to the weight. If you wish for us to park in your driveway you will assume all liability and responsibility for any incurred driveway damage.

• When the Fire Engine arrives to the party be sure to have the children out of the street and at least 10 feet away from where the Fire Engine will be parking. Please do not allow the children to run up to the fire truck. Our driver will let you know when it is safe to escort the children and adults to the truck.

• A fire engine can be alarming to some of your neighbors especially if they are unaware of a party taking place. Please let all of your neighbors know that you will be having a fire department themed birthday party, with a real fire truck, so they will not be alarmed at flashing lights, bell and sirens.

SUPERVISION:

• Be sure to have adequate adult supervision for the children.  Fun Time Fire Truck will not be responsible for the supervision of the children.  We recommend at least 1 adult to every 4 children to ensure a safe loading and unloading of children. Adults will need to assist in loading and unloading the children from the Fire Engine.

• Children are not allowed to climb on the top/hose beds of the truck. They may explore all other areas and seats, but please keep them off the top hose beds.

FIRE ENGINE:

• Our fire truck is very loud. This can sometimes scare small children. If your party guests or the birthday child are under age 4, we will try to keep the sirens and horns to a minimum. If you child is sensitive to loud noises, please let us know and we will keep the sirens and horns off on approaching. Children this age are sometimes scared by the loud sirens/horns and refuse to get near the truck. They eventually warm up and enjoy the fire truck, but this can be prevented by keeping the sirens and horns off until they feel ready for the loud noise of the truck. 

•  All the children will need to have shoes on.

• No food or drinks are allowed on the Fire Engine.

• During the Birthday child’s ride seatbelts must be worn by all and the child must be accompanied by an adult in the front cab. The child riders will be in the front cab only.

• Fun Time Fire Truck shall always have the right to remove any person from the fire engine for any reason, which in the opinion of our driver deems necessary or appropriate.

• During the Games/Activities the children may get wet. You may wish to do photos with the children and truck prior to starting the activities that will get them wet.

•  A set of real fire gear will be provided for the birthday child to take pictures in. The child can ride with the gear on in the fire truck. Each guest child will be given the opportunity to take pictures in adult size real fire gear, or child size plastic gear. 

• A group photo of your party guests with the fire truck is a great idea! Be sure to do this early in the hour with your fire truck, as guests, especially the younger ones, attention spans do not hold out well for pictures toward the end.
