We went to Tollcross fire station where we learned more about the role of the fire service, how they keep us safe and what I can do to keep myself safe too.  This is especially important at this time of the year when people celebrate Halloween, Diwali and Fire Works Night with fireworks, by lighting candles and having bonfires.

We saw inside fire engines and learned more about their equipment and including the fire fighters uniform, helmet and masks and I got to practice using the fire hose. ​

We also saw two fire engines leave the fire station to respond to emergencies. ​

We gave the firefighters a BIG box of biscuits as a thank you!

Thank you to all the parents who joined us and made this trip possible.
