Heritage Pointe Fire Station Visit #1

Description

The tour will be light hearted, and fun. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for children to meet a Firefighter for the first time on a car accident or a fire on family’s worst day of their lives, which can be traumatic for the family. The goal of this event is for the kids to meet Firefighters in a non-emergency event, and realise they are human and not to be scared. The fire fighters will focus on making the experience fun, engaging and overall a good learning experience. However, the kids are to stay together as a group and respect that they are in an active Fire Station.  The 60 minutes seesion will cover the following things:

• What does the Fire Service do and what are responsibilities of being a Firefighter

• Discuss when to dial 911

• Smoke detectors/ Alarms

• The dangers of playing with fire/ lighters/ matches/ fireworks
