Visit: Fire Station

Following Boy #2's obsession with fire engines, we organised 2 trips to the local fire stations at Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur. We wrote in to the stations, requesting permission to visit, and they were more than happy to oblige.

The visit usually begins with a fire safety briefing, from the use of fire extinguishers and how to crawl through smoky conditions.

Kids get to dress up in actual fireman garb, including the hefty fire-resistant jackets, gas masks and fire boots.

The Sri Hartamas is larger and has a fireman's pole the kids can slide down! Kids could ride rounds in the fire engine and climb up its ladder.

The highlight of the visits are usually the water hose time — kids get to play with the hoses and run in the cool spray. Definitely a free and fun-filled educational trip everyone should go for!
