On Monday 28th November, we all boarded the Glenkens Bus to go and visit the New Galloway Fire Station. We were all very excited and we couldn’t wait to get there.

When we arrived, we were met by Fire Fighter Carson. He showed us his uniform and explained all about it. He then showed us the fire engine. All the children had a go sitting in the driving seat and turning on the lights and siren. That was really good fun, if a bit noisy.

All the children then got a chance to use one of the water hoses. Fire Fighter Carson had to hold onto the children because the water jet was very strong.

We had a good look around the fire engine and learned about all the jobs fire fighters do, as well as put out fires.

Before we left, the children were given a fire safety book and a pencil. What a great visit and I wonder where we will go next time!
