The Senior Infant classes had such an exciting morning when we had a visit from Dublin Fire Brigade! We had learned so much in Aistear about the fire station so when we saw a real life fire engine in Belmayne ET car park we all got SO excited!
Our caretaker Jeff has a son in the Fire Brigade and his son Mark was kind enough to arrange for the fire engine and crew to visit us. We all got a turn sitting inside the fire engine, we tried on the fire helmet and Jessica and Jeff got to try on the mask and oxygen tank which was very heavy! We were shown the different equipment the fire fighters use when they are called to different accidents or fires and we even got a turn of the fire hose which seemed to magically spray water all over both classes!
It really was a fantastic visit and all the children were extremely excited during it and coming back into class after it. Thank you to Mark and all the crew in Kilbarrack Fire Station, we really appreciate you all taking the time to show us the brilliant work you do when you have such a busy and brave job!
Take a look at our great Friday morning and some fire fighters in the making!☺
