On Wednesday 17th June, Members of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service visited the school to help pupils learn about how to stay safe in the event of a fire.

The children from Primary 6 and 7 explored how to deal with an emergency, including when and how to call 999 and learned the importance of staying calm and acting quickly. They also practised the essential Stop, Drop and Roll technique, which can help prevent serious injury if clothing ever catches fire.

This visit supported our commitment to Developing the Young Workforce by giving pupils the chance to meet real firefighters, ask questions about their roles and learn about the skills and responsibilities involved in keeping communities safe. Many pupils left the session feeling inspired and talking about how they might like to become firefighters in the future.

We are grateful to the team from Motherwell Fire Station for providing such an engaging and informative learning experience.
