“Education is not the filling of a pail,
But the lighting of a fire.”
-William Butler Years-
One fine morning, 5s and 6s year olds noticed men in blue uniform changed into a seemingly heavy, hot and uncomfortable orange suit. These men were rushing to the red truck and raised the volume of this ear popping siren!
A few hopped in an ambulance to follow the red truck.
Thinking that this was just part of the act, one asked.
“Where are they going?”
To which, one of them answered,
“They have to respond to a road car accident.”
Yes, something happened.
Kobe City Firemen
Preschoolers were fortunate to meet real life ‘superheroes’ in Kobe who help out people during difficult situations such as: fires, road accidents, earthquakes, and others.
They took time to explain to these little inquirers their roles and responsibilities.
They showed them the different tools they use for their job.
They also explained what each of them are for.
Curiouser and curiouser, they wanted to see how the water inside the truck works. So these hardworking firemen showed the preschoolers and the parents how they used the hose during a fire.
The PRESSURE was strong for them!
Ohhh.. I mean the water pressure was strong!
The preschoolers asked lots of burning questions and they answered them patiently.
In the end, preschoolers were amazed with the roles and responsibilities of firemen, that decided they want to one someday!
It was a good opportunity for the preschool to get up close with these amazing community helpers (firemen) who risk their lives to help out our community and people.
Inspiring!
Enjoy the video of the preschoolers at Rokko Island Fire Station!
We wonder what it would be like at the Police Station next week...
