Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service

October 2008

Visit by Mr William Laverty watch commander in the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.

Mr Laverty visited year 8 classes on Monday and Tuesday 20th & 21st October 2008. He gave a very interesting and informative talk on how science impacts on modern fire fighting. The presentation showed some very exciting clips of fire fighters and some very scary clips of how easy it is for a fire to take hold and spread in your home.

When the presentation was over Mr Laverty gave us all the opportunity to look at his uniform. One lucky person even got to try on the whole uniform!
