Fire Engine Visit

Today the rainbow team were very lucky to have a visit from the Tawa and Johnsonville fire brigades. Two exciting fire engines arrived at at school at 9am to the excitement of all the students. Room 15 were lucky to have a visit from a fireman who came into our classroom to discuss what a firefighters job is and the equipment they use.

We were then very lucky to get the chance to go and look at the fire engines with the firefighters, they showed us all the different hoses they have on board and some of the other equipment they use in a fire or rescue situation.

After a good look around the vehicle we were then rejoined in our classroom by another one of the firefighters who was in full uniform. The fireman then demonstrated what it looked like and sounded like when he was wearing the oxygen mask. We were also shown the emergency bell on the uniform that lets other firefighters know if one of their colleagues are in trouble.
