Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed a visit from the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, this morning! 🚒
From learning all about the different areas of the fire engine, to the variety of call-outs the fire brigade have, to being able to have a go at holding a fire hose, they all had a wonderful time!

Congratulations to FF Bufton for passing his class 2 driving test!

This means he can now drive our fire appliance for non-operational duties and training.

Next, Max will attend the Emergency Response Driver Training Course in the coming months.

Well done,

#TeamLU !
