Read abt this on my friend's blog sometime ago so we been wanting to visit the fire station since it's open for visit every Sat and today we finally made it since weather looked gd!
We could finally take a look at the fire engines (Ian's been learning abt fire engine) and here we have the first hand learning of fire engines...we could explore freely the fire station
And here's the CPL which the fire fighters take to go higher floors...this according to the firefighter could take us to 14 storeys high...there's another one which could take to 18 storeys high...here we are checking out how high this is gonna be and...
here we are on the ride up....with harness of course (even for Ian) and we went up to abt 8-9 storeys high...gd view up there...frankly din think Ian would be game to take the ride but he was so thrilled all the way up and enjoying the view up there...after the whole visit, he just rem Uncle carried him hehee...coz he needed to be hooked on harness and we had to 'clumb' into the platform so he was carried for a while...maybe no need go anymore Sentosa's sky tower and come here queue for free rides hahaha equally gd view =)
Here's Ian firefighter trying to run the water hose...he was quite surprised how long the hose was hahaa coz he's so used to just spraying watering can at po2's place
And here we get to try out the real thing....it's super heavy but impressive coz there's 2 modes of spray depending on the fire...managed to capture a shot of Ian trying to peek from behind coz the thing is too heavy for him...except that there were alot of photographers at the site taking pics of pple doing stuff...wondering if there is some photography contest going on coz while I was doing the demo, there were some pple with cameras taking me hehehe....like some celebrity huh
Here's the bike that some firefighters take to check out the fire 1st?? there were some uniform and helmets behind and we were wondering if we could put them on hahaa but better not coz they shld be stinko since the fire is hot and they perspire hehee
Here's Ian trying to attempt to climb on the fire engine...still long way to go huh
there was also the ambulance for us to check out coz never been on 1 but was surprised by the sheer smallness of space inside it and daddy said could only take 1 coz he's been on 1 with a friend...din attempt to be pally with those pple to get on 1 coz there were so many 'tourists' and really wonder how they knew abt this open house coz even we singaporeans hardly hear of this fire station open house....
well well it was an eye opener for us...could come back again when Ian's bigger and could enjoy all the shows and visits better...here we are going off with souvenirs from fire station coz they have been here for a century...felt this was a gd souvenir for us to pry toys to change their batteries hahaa....handy handy! What an interesting visit we had today!
