Fire crews are delivering safety talks to primary school children across the north-east ahead of bonfire night.
Pupils at St Fergus Primary School yesterday learned how to keep themselves safe in the lead up to November 5 during a talk by Peterhead firefighters.
The crews are visiting a number of schools in the area.
Station manager Craig Shand said: “We make every effort to reach out to young people whenever possible to equip them with the tools and the knowledge to stay safe and provide them with a real insight into the potentially devastating consequences of fire.
“Our firefighters and fire appliances are being mobilised to hundreds of completely avoidable incidents every year during the Bonfire Night period.
“A small minority of individuals are potentially putting themselves, our firefighters and innocent bystanders at risk of serious harm and injury.”
Pupils learned how to handle sparklers safely, how to stop, drop and roll and how to keep their pets safe. The youngsters also quizzed the crews on all sorts of firework-related incidents.
Clayton Smith, 10, said: “I really liked seeing the fire engine at school today. I’ll listen to what the firemen say and I’ll stay safe on bonfire night.”
