A day out and about
Sunday last week I looked after my friend's two daughters aged 5 and 8. The four of us went along to an open day at one of the local fire stations. We watched a demonstration of a kitchen fat fire and learnt the correct way of dealing with it, and what NOT to do. We watched them cut the roof off a car in a mock accident scene. We looked though fire engines, their chemical spill equipment, their helicopter monsoon bucket and watched a interactive movie about the speed of fire. And the girls got heaps of pamphlets, books, balloons, stickers, temporary tattoos and other bits n pieces.The bottom picture is what happens if you put water on a fat fire. Its what you're NOT supposed to do. You're supposed to smother the fire with a pot lid or wooden chopping board.

I've seen all that too when I did a fire safety course for work.. it was scary shit!
I'd seen the jaws of life sort of stuff on tv, and knew the correct way of putting out the fire. But never seen it up close and in living colour!
We spent 2 hours there, it was really interesting and informative!
