Firefighters visit Saint Joseph's School in Shaw, Oldham

The visit to Saint Joseph's RC Junior, Infant and Nursery School was organised by deputy headteacher Mr Hill and saw firefighters from Green Watch at Oldham Fire Station deliver a fire safety presentation to the Year 4 class.

The children were taught about firework safety, the proper use of matches, the importance of smoke alarms, the stop-drop-roll technique, and the dangers of leaving candles unattended.

Mr Hill said: "We're so grateful to the Oldham fire service for taking the time to speak with our children.

"With Bonfire Night just around the corner at the time, this was the perfect opportunity to ensure our children have the knowledge and skills to stay safe during the celebrations."

The Year 4 class was also given a behind-the-scenes tour of the fire engine, where they were able to explore the vehicle, try on firefighter helmets, sound the siren, and even spray the fire hose.

Saint Joseph’s headteacher, Mr Needle, said: "The children were absolutely thrilled to get up close and personal with the fire engine.

"It was a wonderful chance for them to see the important work our local firefighters do and to appreciate the equipment they use to keep our community safe."
