On Wednesday the Fire Service came to visit to talk to the children about Halloween and Bonfire Night safety. There was lots of excellent advice, from how to identify houses that may or may not like visits from trick or treaters, to how to keep themselves safe around Bonfires and fireworks. The highlight of the visit was the surprise addition of the fire engine, which all the children had the opportunity to visit. To help us keep safe at home, the fire service provide and fit smoke detectors for free. If this is something you would be interested in, do contact them on 01162872241 or email at riat@LFRS.org.

Parents may also be interested to know that the fire station will be providing battery operated tea lights for pumpkins to help keep children safe in costumes. Look out at Oakham Fire Station for these.
