Fire Engine to Visit Y1 & 2

Last week, as part of their topic ‘The Great Fire of London’, children in Y1 and 2 welcomed the Acomb Fire Service into school.  After quite a lot of manoeuvering to get into the school gates, the fire engine finally made it onto school grounds!  The children enjoyed listening to the firefighters talk about the different parts of the fire engine and the children were fascinated about how much fire hose actually fit into the fire engine!  The team demonstrated how several of the tools worked, including the breathing apparatus and the jaws of life.

Thank you so much to Green Watch at Acomb Fire Station for visiting the school and speaking to the children.  The team at Acomb also provide free home visits where they give safety advice, please look at their website to request a visit – https://www.northyorksfire.gov.uk/fire-station/acomb-fire-station/
