Fire Safety

At the end of April, Junior Infants had a visit from three members of Schull Fire Brigade, who explained their work to us and gave us fire safety advice.

The firemen gave us some very useful advice!

They recommended that every family should decide on an escape route from the house and have an agreed meeting point a safe distance from the house where everybody should head to in the event of a fire.

They also stressed the importance of having smoke alarms in the home and testing them every now and then to make sure that they work.

They also told us that if confronted with a fire, the best thing to do was to get away from it and call for help!

The firemen also brought their fire engine and allowed us to try out some of their equipment, including the hoses and the beaters for fighting gorse fires.

This is the beater, which the firemen use to put out gorse fires!

We got to try out the hoses!

A big thank you to Schull Fire Brigade for taking the time to visit us!
