Year One visited Homerton Fire Station for their work week. Once they arrived, they had a team of firefighters waiting for them, eager to share what responsibilities they had in their line of work and what their job role entails.

Before we left, Mr Hodgkin had the opportunity to dress up as a firefighter!
