Camden Show Fire Brigade Exhibit

We had a great time at Camden show on Friday. At the Fire Brigade exhibit we learnt to "get down low and go, go, go" to avoid smoke in a building, we explored the truck and watched the rescue team cut open a car. The firemen showed us it is dangerous to add water to a kitchen fire. It spread the fire.
