FireWise

Over the past few weeks in Kindle 2, the children have been learning how to be Firewise. They know that matches and lighters are tools, not toys and should be given to an adult if they are found. They have practised what to do if there is a fire or they hear a fire alarm. The fire fighters from Willowbank Fire Station came to school to reinforce the Firewise messages. They came back again the next day to show us the special equipment they use for fires.

 Tony and Justin showed us what a firefighter wears to go into a burning building.

Sean and Nick showed us the fire engine and some of the tools that fire fighters use at a fire.

We all got a turn at squirting the fire hose. It was fun!
