Year 2 pupils at Orchard Fields Community School in Banbury were treated to a special visit today from members of North Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

The pupils were delighted to have the chance of operating a hose from the fire engine and even had the chance of putting out a mock fire in the school’s car park.

Year 2 class teacher Kelly Giles said: "They learnt about all the different jobs that fire fighters do, what equipment they use, and fire safety."
