Children in Early Years at St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School in Stockton were delighted to welcome a team of firefighters to school for a special visit focused on community roles and fire safety.

The visit provided a fantastic opportunity for pupils to learn about the important work firefighters do and how they help keep people safe.

Learning About Fire Safety

During the session, firefighters spoke to the children about their role within the community and shared valuable fire safety advice ahead of Bonfire Night.

The pupils learned about ways to stay safe around bonfires and fireworks while gaining a better understanding of how the fire service helps protect local communities.

Hands-On Fun with the Fire Brigade

One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity for the children to have a turn using a real fire hose.

The experience created plenty of excitement and gave pupils a memorable insight into the equipment firefighters use as part of their job.

An Awesome Experience

The visit was a huge success, with children thoroughly enjoying every aspect of the session.

Many pupils described the experience as "awesome," and staff were delighted to see such enthusiasm and engagement throughout the day.

St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School would like to thank the firefighters for taking the time to visit and provide such an informative and enjoyable experience for the children.
