This week, Portpatrick Primary welcomed a Fire Safety Officer<\/strong> to speak with pupils from Primary 1 to 7 about how to stay safe on Bonfire Night<\/strong> and around fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session helped everyone learn about the importance of fire safety \u2014 from handling sparklers carefully to making smart choices about what can safely be burned. Pupils were amazed to discover just how hot sparklers can get<\/strong>, and how quickly accidents can happen if we don\u2019t take care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also discussed the impact of fires on the environment<\/strong>, and how burning the wrong materials can release harmful smoke and chemicals into the air. The Fire Safety Officer gave pupils practical advice on how to keep themselves, others, and the planet safe during Bonfire Night celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and showed great understanding of how to celebrate responsibly. A big thank you to our visitor for sharing such important safety messages with us all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
