Fire Wise Fire Station Visit

Fitzroy School Junior Syndicate were lucky enough to get to visit Brown Watch at the New Plymouth Fire Station as a follow up to our Fire Wise topic.

The firemen explained all of the different equipment they use to us and dressed up in their rescue equipment so we could see and hear what they would look like if they ever had to come to a fire near us.

We really enjoyed standing on the hose trying to stop it from filling up with water. We gave it our best effort but the water won! One of our highlights was getting to squirt the bucket off the cone using the fire hose. Wow, that was really exciting and produced many smiles and squeals of delight.

Thanks Brown Watch - you guys were awesome!

A trip to the Fire Station is always lots of fun. I hope you all had a great time and learnt lots of new things to help in your learning of being 'Firewise'.
