This firetruck costs RM1.3million! It is fitted with the latest, state of the art technology to help our fireman put out fire and carry out rescue missions.
We set off in the school bus on this lovely Friday morning, the excitement of getting to ride on the bus written all over their faces. Pak Awang the bus driver drove ever so carefully and we arrived safe and sound at Balai Bomba Subang Jaya.
We were given a briefing on the operations at the station and the children were given workbooks related to bomba activities. Many of the children want to be fireman, so they said when asked. Then we were told the night before the firemen caught a snake at a house in USJ20! I am sure they thought twice about it after that, you will see why later ...
We were then taken outside to see the firetruck and shown the various things on the truck like hose, pumps, valves, ladders, masks, nozzles etc etc lots of new vocabulary and of course uncle fireman demonstrated the siren sound ... music to the ears. Then the kids got to climb into (lifted into) the firetruck, it was so high - actually the wheel of the truck is as high as our 4-year olds, just imagine climbing up into the truck will be like climbing mini Mount Everest. The fireman demonstrated spiralling down the pole from the upper floor. The children got to try on the fireman's fireproof jackets with helmets.
The highlight was the demonstration how the fireman caught the snake ... after seeing the snake I am sure a few changed their minds about being fireman.
