More people who help us!

Our primary one children had a fantastic day today visiting our local fire station!

The children listened well as the fireman told them what his job was. They learned all about the uniforms (did you know that most fire fighters wear yellow helmets, but the one who’s in charge wears a white helmet?!) and all about the fire engines (in Scotland they are red with blue lights – the same as the ambulance!!)

We learned that at Broxburn, all the firefighters have pagers, which beep when it’s time to go to work, but other stations have fire fighters who eat and even sleep there!

They then saw what fire fighters have to wear (Mrs Evans and Mrs Baty modeled the uniform – it was very heavy and warm!!)

We also learned what to do if we ever see someone on fire (tell them to Stop, Drop and Roll – you can see us practicing this in our photos).

After that, the children went outside to explore the fire engine. They even got a shot of a water hose out of the fire engine!

All primary 1 children were fantastic on our first trip! Thank you again to our fabulous parent helpers!
