4th Rochford Scouts visit Hawkwell Fire Station! Wednesday 20th March 2019


21 Scouts & Young Leaders were accompanied by 3 Leaders  for a great visit to the Fire Station at Hawkwell. They were shown around by the Crew on watch and also learnt about all the uses for the equipment on the Fire Engine. The kids asked some very intelligent questions and were very well behaved, whilst learning about the dangers of Fire. They loved trying on the Firemen’s helmets and actually handling the giant water hoses to aim at a fire in the practice tower! One Scout was actually invested into the 4th Rochford Scout Group, while sitting high up in the driver’s seat of the huge Fire Engine!!!

Of the 21 Scouts, 5 have already gained their Fire Safety Activity Badge, but the remaining 16 have now gained theirs too,  which counts as one of the badges needed for the Chief Scouts Gold Award.  All the kids had a great time, but also gained an appreciation of the danger of fire. A massive thanks to all the staff at the Fire Station.
