On Wednesday Nursery were lucky enough to have 5 firefighters and their fire engine visit from the Dowgate Fire Station.
We learned all about what the firefighters wear to keep safe and even had a chance to try on a real firefighter’s helmet! The firefighters told us about the different jobs that they have to do, not just put out fires.
We had a chance to look around the fire engine, hearing how loud the siren is and talking about all the different parts such as the ladder and the special register for the firefighters in the back seat. We saw all of the special equipment such as the camera that the firefighters use to find people when it is smoky.
One of the most exciting parts was that we had a chance to spray the hose, seeing what it’s like to be a firefighter!
We loved our visit from the firefighters and received a special fire safety book to look at and colour in at home with our grown-ups.
