 We're seventh and eighth graders from all over Fort Worth this week. We're exploring careers in government at the city of Fort Worth Did you know a firefighters gear can weigh more than 45 pounds? We practice putting it on In under a minute The police department has different kinds of officers including those who patrol investigate work in a lab and even ride bikes The stormwater division uses heavy equipment to clean channels and inlets to keep our neighborhoods from flooding And today's garbage trucks are very high-tech with computers and cameras for safety We also learned about the landfill by making a model out of candy It smelled and tasted a lot better than a real landfueled. Eww At Fort Worth TV We record audio for this video and use the green screen to make it look like we're in the stockyards instead of the studio At this water treatment plant city employees use Mechanics and chemistry to make our water safe to drink We also learned what it's important to conserve water to make sure everyone else has enough at team court we play roles as a prosecutor defense attorney judge and the jury in a mock trial the violin program is awesome We enjoyed exploring city Fort Worth careers and seeing how school can help us get a job
