Some P6 pupils were invited to attend a whole day training session at Coatbridge Fire Station to train as Junior Fire Fighters. This was a fantastic experience for our pupils and as you can see from the photographs they had a wonderful day.
They learned how to use fire hoses and attach them to the fire tender, then put out a ‘fire’ in a car! They also learned how to get someone out of a smoke filled room using the same procedures as real fire fighters and they rescued ‘Wee Bob’ and ‘Big Bob’.
During the day they were taught the dangers of fire and safety tips.Transport Police also spoke to them about the dangers of going on train lines and electricity.
This was a very exciting day and pupils learned so much and they all agreed it was ‘THE BEST SCHOOL TRIP EVER!’
