The firefighters talked about fire safety ahead of bonfire night and showed us how to power the hose so we could knock the bottle off the cone. We got to sit in the fire engine, see the flashing lights and hear the siren! We all had a fantastic time and it was a fantastic enhancement to our great fire of London history topic allowing us to see first hand some of the things we have been learning about whilst also providing some excellent advice to keep us safe. A huge thankyou to all of our firefighting crew who gave up their time so generously to allow for such a wonderful experience for our children- we are so very lucky to be part of such a supportive community.
