For our inquiry topic (People in our Community), LS2 went to the Mt Wellington fire station to learn about how firefighters help/protect the community. We were explained what to do when something is on fire: get low, get out, stay out, and then call 111. To make sure that everyone is out, we had to make an escape plan. This means to have a meet-up place like the mail box. After, the fire fighters explained to us how having a smoke alarm helps us and protects us. Smoke alarms help because when you are sleeping, you are not able to smell smoke. They then talked about the equipment in their firetruck. They keep uniforms, hoses, ladders, air bags, blocks, chain saws etc. These things help for different situations. I didn't know that they kept equipment such as chain saws, so it was interesting seeing what they keep inside their firetruck. This was a very awesome and educating experience.
