Firefighters Visit

Class: Reception Year: 2018-2019

Firefighters from Agecroft Firestation came in to visit Reception as part of our topic – ‘People Who Help Us’.  They talked to us about what a firefighter does, the different ways that they help people and animals and how they rescue people and save lives.  We went outside and looked at all the equipment on the fire-engine and they explained to us what it is used for.  Then, they let us all have a go at using one of the hoses and we even got to sit in the fire-engine and try on the firefighters helmets.  They turned on the blue lights and the sirens, which were very loud, and explained to us why they use them in an emergency.
