Ian the firefighter kindly visited Nursery today to talk about his job and about how to stay safe in a fire. As well as discussing the dangers of matches, the children enjoyed some fun games to help them remember to stay low in a fire as they had to crawl under makeshift smoke in the form of a billowing parachute.
\nThere was great discussion about a firefighter’s uniform and why he\/she needs it to stay safe. As you can see, some of the children tried out a jacket and helmet for size but none of them managed to put on the uniform in the twenty seconds that Ian has to get his on when he’s going to a fire. We think that quite a few of the children like the idea of being our firefighters of the future. It will be interesting to see if any of them fulfill that wish.
