  • 06:16 PM - 9th February, 2026 Today, @watford_fire_station visited Lanchester Primary School, giving the children a fantastic opportunity to learn about the vital role firefighters play in keeping us safe. In Year 1, the children linked this visit to their learning about the Great Fire of London, discussing how there was no organised fire service at the time to battle the flames. In Reception, the focus was on people who help us in our community. All the children had the chance to see the fire engine up close, explore the equipment inside, and learn about how firefighters help and protect others. It was a really exciting and valuable experience for everyone. If any families need a smoke alarm, please contact the local fire station — they will provide and fit one free of charge. 🚒🔥
