The Idea: take your kids to activities organised to engage the general public with fire & rescue and emergency care professionals
Visit to: the Singapore-Global Firefighters & Paramedics Challenge 2014
Benefits: it is both play and learning for children; children get to play grown ups as they try out the big engines and life saving technologies; children learn about different professions early on, the experience will instill in young children an appreciation for the men and women who dedicate themselves to saving lives.
Hi I’m firefighter Lucas and that’s my fire engine over there!
I wanna see what’s inside an ambulance, Daddy!
There were far too many things we experienced at the SGFPC, I cannot post all those pictures here so here are the highlights:
Here we are smiling after we fought our first fire – A Kitchen Fire at this kitchen fire simulator van
Here is my 4 year old learning how to put out a CAR FIRE with a fire extinguisher
Learning to prevent and put out fire in residential premises
Confined Rescue Learning Area for kids
Children learn to crawl safely through a confined space
Free fun rides and teaching kids about the importance of giving way to emergency vehicles
Fun, fun, fun!
An Overview of CPR – I was sort of worried that my 4 year old was learning this –I asked the paramedic “isn’t it a little early? ” As it turns out something as simple as asking “Are you ok, are you ok.” may just save lives
The Tremorlator – experiencing tremors and learning how to respond calmly and safely

So do…expose your young children to the world of life-saving professionals. It may be a career option for the future, if not your children will still have an appreciation for the men and women who dedicate their lives to helping us in our moments of great need.
