Fireman Visit

1st class were very lucky today to have the Firemen and Gardaí visit them.
They talked to us about their jobs and how they can help us.
They talked about fire safety and how to stay safe at home.
We then got to go outside to the big fire truck and were allowed to sit inside it.
We also got to have some great fun spraying water with the big hose...
Thanks to Derek, Phil and Suzi who took time out of their busy schedule to come talk to us. We really enjoyed it.
