Just in time for Bonfire Night
Caythorpe Scouts enjoyed a fantastic evening at Grantham Fire Station last week, getting a behind-the-scenes look at the work of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service.
The Scouts were given a tour of the fire engines, discovering the amazing range of equipment carried on board and learning about the specialist breathing apparatus firefighters use when tackling fires.
They also watched firefighters demonstrate how they set up and climb their impressive ladders, before getting the chance to try their hand at operating a real fire hose — definitely one of the highlights of the evening!
It was a brilliant opportunity to learn about the teamwork, skills and training involved in keeping our communities safe, and perhaps even inspire a few future firefighters along the way! As a first step, they’re well on their way to completing the Fire Safety Activity Badge – timely given they went on 4 November!
A huge thank you to everyone at Grantham Fire Station and Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue for making us so welcome, answering all our questions and giving the Scouts such a memorable experience.
An absolutely brilliant evening! 🚒🔥👏
