Fire Station

There is no phonics lesson today, we took the opportunity to bring the kids to visit the Bishan Fire Station which is new to all of us! The fire men are all professional well-trained officers and they geared up to demonstate & explain to us their fire fighting operations; and we noticed they all did it with pride :)
Bishan Fire Station is just 10 mins away from our place, and the fire station is relatively new

Zenith was quite intimidated by the big fire engines from near.

hee, we went up on the crane to as high as 5 stories, quite scary actually if you look down.. not recommended for those who has height phobia. Well, Zenith was scared and he didn't want me to go near the railing.

They both got a fire men's hat and the fire men are all so friendly there! They make us feel so welcome :)

wow... so high up...

Celeste asked to take a sit inside the fire engine! Cool!

Demostrating the use of the hose, and we realised that the water is always flowing out form the hose the whole day, i thought that was a waste of water, but he mentioned this is to prevent the water from sudden busting out from the hose. Make Sense!

And Daddy giving it a try!
