Today, your Bridgman Firefighters had the opportunity to assist a group of Bridgman High School students with a fun science experiment: How high can you drop an egg without scrambling it?

These young engineers put their creativity to work by designing protective capsules for their precious cargo—an egg. We then put their designs to the test by dropping them from our 100-foot ladder truck.

The students did an outstanding job and came up with some very impressive designs. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this hands-on learning experience and help bring science and engineering to life!

Highlights included:
🏖️ Holding a mock City Council meeting and voting on Weko Beach t-shirt designs

🔥 Visiting Firefighter Dave and EMT Ashley

🚔 Meeting Officer Fortuna at the Police Department

🚜 Trying out the backhoe controls at the Street Department, where a couple students successfully knocked over a bucket

🎨 Take a stroll down Lake Street!

Our 2026 Student Banners are now on display, and they’re something special. This year’s theme—“What I Love About Bridgman”—comes straight from the hearts of our local students.

This amazing project was made possible in partnership with Reed Middle School, and it truly shows the pride our younger residents have in this community.

📝 Each banner is paired with a student essay sharing why they chose their design—worth the read and guaranteed to make you smile.

Take a walk, slow down a minute, and check them out—you’ll see Bridgman through a whole new lens.
