The Reception Class and Year 1 children were all fired up as they welcomed firefighters from Witney Fire Service into School to find out all about what they do. The highlight of the visit was seeing the fire truck, which was parked at the front of the Mansion House, and hearing the very loud sirens! Each child had the exciting opportunity to try out holding and turning on the hose pipe, which was not as easy as it looked! It was certainly not a drill for Mrs Peace, as she tried on the extremely heavy fire suit.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the visit and learned a great deal about what is involved in being a firefighter. They also learnt the number they need to call should they ever need them in an emergency.
