Today was a very special day . The fire brigade came to our school and gave each class a talk about fire safety and how the fire engine works . The children were treated to a very detailed talk about the equipment the fire brigade staff use on call outs , the myriad of jobs they do to help civilians , how to put out a fire in the home and how to prevent fires . The children even got the opportunity to use the fire hose and the teachers availed of a free car wash !!!
We were so impressed by the patience shown to the children , the kindness and the knowledge shared .
We are lucky to have such wonderful people like Pat and Martin to protect us in our locality .
We are grateful to Mary Theresa and Miss Foley for organising the fantastic surprise for the children and to Mr Cronin , Joe , John and Louisa’s dad for his part in coordinating the memorable experience for the children and staff !!!
