Fire Station Visit

Today LS1 and I went to visit the Fire Station. When we had to walk for 15 minutes we had to make sure we stayed in 2 lines, listen to the teacher and make sure there is way for other people. This was my first time going to the Fire Station. When we reached to the Fire Station there was 4 men who talked to us about the Fire Station and what they do. They were Bob, Paul, Norman and Steve. The 4 men said that the Fire Station was open 24 hours. Something that I learnt was that make sure you have a fire alarm, so that when the fire alarm beeps you will know that there is a fire. Then you can get out safety. If your family didn't hear it you can scream fire so that they can wake up and you can call the Fire Station. I also learnt that they don't just water fire, but they also do emergencies like medical and more. Once they talked to us we went outside to see the truck and the parts of it. There was lots of parts. There was hoses, tools and other things stored into parts of the truck. Norman showed us him dressing up into the Fire Station clothes. He told us that the clothes protect him. He also showed us a way to breather air. He wore something and he wore a mask so that he can breathe when there is a fire. Once Norman talked to us he showed us the hoses. The size of the hoses was small, big and a extreme hose. Jonathon, Fui, Sandra and Andrew got chosen from Ms. Anderson and Mr. Ogilvie to try the small hose. When they tried it Norman and Paul tried the big one. It had to take 2 people to do it. Mr. Ogilvie did it too. Then on the top of the truck Norman did the extreme hose and lots of us got wet. The extreme hose let out lots of water. It felt like it was raining. Once Norman did the extreme hose we went to the other side of the truck. We had to stand up because the ground was wet. Paul, Norman and Steve showed us more things that they use. When they finished talking we went back to where we normally sat. Norman told us if we had any questions. Lots of people put there hand up. When we asked questions Norman told us how good we have been. When Norman finished speaking we walked back to school safely.
