Yesterday we had a great time at Handsworth Fire Station.

Mo showed us the different parts of a Firefighter’s uniform.  We found out that they leave their boots inside their trousers so that they can put them on quickly.

The children then dressed up as Firefighters and we were taken on a tour of the fire station.

We saw the smaller fire vehicle and then the big fire engine came back. The Firefighter switched on the blue flashing lights and made us all jump with the loud horn!  Next we saw the hose and the special cutting tool.  Finally we saw the special pole and two Firefighters slid down it, they went really fast.
