PAKENHAM littlies got a lesson in fire education last week during a highly anticipated CFA call out.
Members of the Pakenham Fire Brigade shared important safety messages with kids at the Pakenham Early Education Centre on Tuesday 8 September.
The fire-fighting professionals taught kids the importance of crawling low to the ground when trying to escape from a fire and the importance of calling triple zero in an emergency.
And just like any good ambulance call-out, the fire-fighters got into the brigade truck and blasted their siren for kids who looked on with admiration.
“Our brigade is proud of our community safety and education programs today,” the CFA unit posted on its Facebook page.
