Fire Safety Talk

Logan – I learned that firefighters wear a special fire proof scarf over their head.

Luke – I didn’t know their boots were special boots.

Ellie – I learned that they wear a helmet.

Eve – I learned that you need a special disc to find smoke in your house (smoke detector).

Olly – I learned that they put some masks on so if it is really smoky and they cant breathe, there is oxygen to help in the tanks.  A bit like divers.

Callum – I learned that they use special knives to cut through seatbelts in car crashes.

Max – Their boots have got hard toes so if something falls, their foot wont get hurt.

Sophia – They are steel toe caps.  My Daddy has got them.

Archie – I learned that firemen don’t always use water.  They sometimes use foam.

Our visit to SCAA

At last we are back up and running and I can now post some of the photos from our visit to Scone SCAA.  We had a wonderful visit with the place to ourselves and the full attention of paramedics Robin and Craig and Pilot Captain Clark.

The children got up close to the helicopter and were able to ask all their questions.  We also had the chance to try on the helmets and looked very sweet in our oversized fluorescent jackets!

We handed over our donation to SCAA and have since received a letter thanking us for this.  Thank you to all who donated.
