Students visit Kingswood Fire Station

STUDENTS from King’s Oak Academy visited Kingswood Fire Station to learn about water safety.

The Year 9 youngsters, who are working towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award, gave a presentation to the fire and rescue team. The students were also treated to a tour of the station. They gained a firsthand look at the operations of the fire station, from the moment an emergency call is received to the dispatch of fire trucks and the deployment of essential equipment.

Eleanor Salvage, teacher of health and Duke of Edinburgh lead, said: “It was a fantastic experience for the whole group.”
