Fire Station Visit

The Fire Station trip has been booked.

We will be visiting the central fire station (on Cumberland street) Friday 5 June at 10.30 am.

The tour will consist of a chance to look over, and climb over the fire truck/s (this will dependant on which trucks are available for us to look at on the morning). We will be shown all over the fire station, including in control rooms and such like. They will go over what firemen do all day, get dressed up in full rig to show the kids, and allow the kids to try on some of the uniform also. We will also be shown the equipment they use, such as axes, hoses and fire sensing camera's....so there is a huge variety.

They will divide us up into two groups....ages 0-7, and then 8 upwards, so that things can be more easily geared for each age group.

The tour will take 45 - 60 minutes. There is parking inside the fire station ( through the large gates on Leith Street) for us to use....they have asked for us to limit our cars to about 10, so they still have room to do all the work they need to. This being the case, it might we wise for some of us to car pool. (Please organise your own carpool.)

Numbers on the tour are limited to 35 (including parents), so if people could contact Selina-Jane to book your place. Her email address is: lyonness at clear dot net dot nz
