Fire Station tours continue to be a popular stop for children attending the annual summer camps around the island. Yesterday, 53 children accompanied by four adults from the Passage Road Community Summer Camp visited Fire Service Headquarters, Probyn Street, Bridgetown.The educational tour provided an opportunity for the children to learn about the role of the fire service and to see up close the emergency equipment and fire appliances used by fire officers on a daily basis.
From all reports the children had a wonderful time, some of the activities enjoyed by the infants involved the viewing of fire appliances, activating the sirens and also flashing the beacons. A video presentation on fire safety was also shown to expose the little ones to the basic safety concepts.
More than 25 summer camps, with well over 1000 children have toured Fire Service Headquarters within the last six weeks.
