Fire Station Visit

LI: To learn more about what Fire Fighters experience. Today the seniors was welcomed to visit the Mt Wellington Fire Station. They taught us really well. I already knew that Fire Fighters worked 24 hours a day. There was a lot of tools that Firefighters use. There was a pump rescue that cut people from cars and to put out fire. In the truck there was a giant toolbox. There were 2 sides that was full of them. There was a huge building where people practised what to do in order to become a firefighter. The routine is like if any of the fire fighters get called they need to get everything on straight away and leave. They have a lot of things to put on and a lot of equipment to carry. The last thing to wear is your gloves and also the face mask to help you breathe air instead of smoke. They said that when they put the mask on they use there controller to turn it on and once it makes a beep sound that's when they start breathing more air. Fire Fighters told us that we use smoke alarms so that when a smoke happens it beeps and alarms us that something bad is happening. If anyone is in trouble and someone is in there call the fire fighter straight away and they will come and sort everything out. If you left your toy or teddy in there do not go back inside and grab it remember leave it there they will get it for you. The most interesting thing I experienced was the types of hoses they use when working. Yell fire fire to alert others that are inside if there is enough time to get out. The last thing to remember get down,get low, and get out.
