We visited Lee Green Fire Station on Saturday 5th September to learn more about fire safety and see behind the scenes. We left feeling that we had a much better appreciation of how hard the firemen and women work and how difficult their job can be as well as a better understanding of how to prevent fires ourselves. (I think Selectric in Blackheath may have been inundated with women buying safer plugs on Saturday!) It was also just really nice to see the inside of Lee Green Fire Station which many of us pass every day, although there was some disappointment about the lack of a pole! Ricky and his team were absolutely fantastic and gave us so much information in what turned out to be quite a short visit due to them being called to an emergency. People commented that it was very inspiring to see their professionalism in action.
