On Wednesday we had some very special visitors. The Firemen from Takapuna Fire Station came to visit us. We we all very excited! Tudor even woke up at 11pm the night before and wanted to come to Pupuke and see the Firemen then!!
We saw them coming and 3 of the firemen came inside to talk to us about fire safety and what to do in a fire. The driver had to stay with the truck listening for emergency callouts! They told us to crawl on the floor because there is more oxygen down low. We practiced this! (see the photo). Then they picked Dominic and he got to dress up in a mini version of their outfits!(see the photos) We then sang them our Fire song. We think they loved this!
Then it was outside to get up inside the truck. It was so high to get up there. The firemen then showed us all the equipment on the truck. There is so much of it.
They then recieved an emergency callout so we didn't get to see the hose being squirted but we didn't mind because we think the firemen do such a wonderful job!
They packed up and took off with their sirens going! We later heard that someone had burnt onions at Takapuna Grammar and set off the fire alarm so we were happy it was a false alarm!
A big, huge thank you to the firemen at Takapuna Fire Station. You are awesome!
