3rd Class enjoyed a very informative Fire Safety presentation earlier from Dermot Horkan of Charlestown Fire Service.

Dermot’s presentation gave an overview of fire safety, how fires are started, how they can be prevented and how we should react if we encounter a fire.

The children really enjoyed hearing about the work a fire officer carries out while also learning about the dangers that fires can pose. The children learned about how they can help to prevent fires in their homes and also how to pass on the fire safety message to their families.

Dermot took questions from the children and answered all their questions in a fun, informative and very professional manner before giving the children the chance to investigate the protecting clothing/equipment. A lucky few got to dress up in full safety clothing.

A special word of thanks to Dermot for this excellent informative presentation. Our students really enjoyed this visit.
