This week, Duckling and Dove Class @FP had an incredibly exciting visit from our local firefighters! The children were thrilled to meet the crew, explore the fire engine, and even have a go at using the powerful fire hose.

The visit began with a talk from the firefighters, who explained their important job of keeping people safe and how they use their special equipment. The children listened carefully and asked lots of thoughtful questions, such as how fast the fire engine can go and what firefighters do when there isn’t a fire.

One of the highlights of the day was climbing inside the fire engine. The children got to sit where the firefighters sit and see all the different tools they use in an emergency. They were amazed at the loud siren and flashing blue lights!

After that, it was time to try out the fire hose! With the firefighters’ help, each child had a turn at aiming the powerful spray of water, just like real firefighters. The excitement and laughter were clear as they watched the water shoot across the playground.

The visit ended with a big thank-you to the firefighters for taking the time to teach us about fire safety and their incredible work. It was a truly memorable experience, and many of the children said they would love to be firefighters when they grow up!

A huge thank-you to the fire crew for giving the children such a fantastic hands-on experience. We can’t wait for another visit in the future!
