Firefighters Paul and Ray showed us around.
Before we could go any further, we had a talk about how to keep ourselves safe:
Ben spotted a photograph in the fire station. Paul told us it was a photo of one of the biggest fires that there had ever been in Norfolk:
This is where the hoses are kept on the fire engine:
The jaws of life:
The firefighters have to wear these cylinders on their backs if they go inside a building that is on fire. They carry oxygen so that the firefighters can breathe:
We got to sit in the back of the fire engine. The steps were very high up!
We climbed down safely just like the firefighters have to:
Off drove the fire engine. This time it was just going into the station yard so we could take a closer look...
...and have a go at squirting the hose!
Did we do a good job of cleaning your car Mrs Baker?!
Next we heard the loud siren and saw the lights flash!
Back inside the fire station we got to take a closer look at the clothes the firefighters wear:
Who is hiding under there?
A very special thank you to Paul and Ray for making our trip to the fire station such fun. Thank you also to all the adults who transported us there!
