Fire Safety Talk

The Girlington RP pupils attended a fire safety talk at Swain House Primary School.  The children met some firefighters from Shipley Fire Station, who spoke to the children about the importance of fire safety, particularly in the home.  The firefighter shared information about the different types of incidents they are called out for.  He explained why having smoke alarms is so important and for deaf people they need to have flashing lights, vibrating pagers and vibrating pads to alert them for when an alarm goes off in their homes.  They also showed some special equipment they use and talked about the protective clothing they wear when they need to go out on emergencies.  The children really enjoyed going into the fire engine and looking at all the different types of equipment they use on the fire engine.  They even had a great opportunity to try on some of the protective clothing such as a helmet and a jacket!
