Hot Trip to the Fire Station

On Saturday 14th June, the St Edmund's Beaver group went to visit Moortown Fire Station.

We split into 2 groups to look around the fire engine and I was with Fireman Adam. He showed us all the stuff on the engine and we tried on a helmet - it was very smelly! Some of the others set off the siren and we all covered our ears! The best bit was when we got to set off the hosepipe. We tried to get Bena (*) wet but she ran out of the way.

Adam showed us how he comes down the pole - that was cool! He asked us to draw him some pictures so they could decorate their walls and I did one of me trying to get Bena wet. It was a cool afternoon and I would love to go back.
