Hey guys!!
Today was Epic! My school class went on a trip to the The International College of Engineering. It was so cool. We got to see how to perform CPR and we also learnt what is in a first aid kit .

 Then we were taken to see the fire trucks and the different parts of the fire truck. we saw aviation fire truck and domestic fire truck. It was cool to see all the hoses and ladders in the truck.

After learning the 5 different types of fires, which are: class A-solid, class B-liquids, C-gas,class D- i cant remember and class F-kitchen fires, we learnt how each class has its own way of being put out. It was cool because I got to use a fire extinguisher. I learnt that there are 4 different types of fire extinguishers: powder, water, foam and Co2.
 
Then we all got to ride in a fire truck and see how the fire truck sprays water. The water can be shot 70 meters away from the fire truck. Isn't that so cool?

Any ways... that is what i did today at school. I hope you all liked my post.

  1. Your pictures and written explanation of this EPIC day went well together! It brought back memories of going on field trips like this at my school! In the states, there is a "fire house" that Arkansas donates to the fire stations to use at the schools. It simulates a real fire with smoke and all, and it is big enough for the gradeschool children to enter, then work out a plan of escape, yet it is small enough to fit on a trailer that is pulled by a larger pickup truck. Very good report, Zara!
