Last week, Year 1 and Year 2 were lucky enough to be surprised by community Superhero, Dr Jo. She gave us an amazing insight into what it takes to be a Superhero Doctor. Would you believe that this week, we had another surprise Community Superhero come to Provo Primary School?! Firefighter Gula arrived in his Fire engine to talk to us about how he serves the community, along with other men and women, as a member of the Turks and Caicos Fire and Rescue Service.
Firefighter Gula is actually a volunteer Firefighter, which means he has his own job as well as being on call if there is an emergency. He gave us lots of information about how to become a firefighter…you have to be really fit! Some of the emergencies he is called out to, include house fires, vehicle accidents and, you guessed it, cats stuck in trees!
In addition to patiently answering LOTS of questions from the children, Firefighter Gula allowed us to get an up close and personal look at his fire truck. We got to enjoy climbing into the cabin, hearing the siren, looking at the equipment and…. having a go spraying the hose!
We had a lot of fun and learnt a lot about how Firefighter Gula and the rest of the Firefighting team, bravely, keep our community safe.
Thank you to the Turks and Caicos Fire and Rescue Service for all that you do!
