Here’s a blog entry about our National Education trips. The first trip we went was the visit to the fire station gallery. It is such an honor to stand in the oldest fire station in Singapore even though it is open to public on weekends. We were filled with information about the history of the fire station. We were also given a chance to see the fire engine in the past and fire engine of the present. There is really a big change! We also learnt various types of forces which cater to different situations, including the dog teams that are meant to find bodies or drugs. Oh well, did it sound boring? Actually not, while we listen to the man who is talking to us, he will joke around here and there trying to make the talk as enjoyable as possible.
See the pole behind? You actually need technique to slide down
Remember about the different forces I told you? This force controls the dog.
The second trip we went was about fire safety. Oh wow, the fire station is huge and the only lift there seems to be only cargo lift. Anyway, we are going to the lecture room to have lecture. YES, in school we have lectures, now even in fire station. During the lecture, we were taught the different level of fire, we are also taught about different fire need to use different method to extinguish the fire off as wrong method might cause the fire to get bigger. Next we went for demonstration where we were allowed to use fire extinguisher on a live fire. Not a thing we can do in our daily life, and even better if it we don’t even need to do that.
Does it look like his suit is going to get fire?
