Fire! Fire!

Yesterday Year 2 had fun at the local Fire Station. It was an opportunity for them to see what it is like to be a firefighter.  During our recent topic work about The Great Fire of London we looked at the role of the fire service in the past and how the Great Fire prompted improvements to the service. We also learned that Fire Fighters are not just called out to fires. The Fire fighters spoke to us about keeping safe and what to do if there was a fire in our home. They told us how important it is to have a smoke detector. There is a number below to ring if you do not have a smoke detector and the fire service will visit you and fit one free of charge. We also looked around the station and watched how quickly the fire fighters slide down the pole to get to the emergency quickly and had the opportunity to use the hose!
