On the 7th of June, Fire Prevention Officer, Fire Fighter Lenny Smith came to visit Year One in their classroom.
He told the children about the dangers of matches, lighters and electrical appliances in the home. Year One could think of many things that could hurt and burn.
Year One leaned what to do if there is a fire:
Shout, 'FIRE!'
Get out
Call the Fire Brigade out
Then Lenny told Year One all about Smoke Alarms after they had watched an episode of Fireman Sam. Smoke alarms can save lives but they need to be tested regularly.
Fire Fighter, Lenny, allowed some pupils to try on his uniform. The Fire Fighter is protected from head to toe.
Year One did have a giggle because the uniform was so very big for them.
Next the Fire appliance and White Watch arrived to talk about how fires are fought. Inside the Fire engine the children spotted banana, bottled water and Mars bars. Fire fighter, Kevin told us these were for the fire fighters because fighting fires is hot and thirsty work. Sweets and bananas give instant energy as fire fighting is very hard and tiring work.
Fireman Sam showed us what his breathing apparatus looks like. He sounded like Darth Vader we thought.
Then Y1 were allowed to squirt water with the huge hose.
We were supposed to hit a target but some of the teachers' cars were washed accidentally.
Since White Watch were on call they had to go but they left the school car park with their siren going, their lights flashing and a hoot of their horn.
