Then they showed the children the firefighters protective gear , as well as the fire truck and letting them have a go at squirting the hose … future firefighters in the making .

We would like to say Thank you to Penny , Megan -Jones and Cara Kennedy from Thiyamali ( Family Violence Services Inc . who came to teach the children about protective behaviours . They spoke to the children about the movie Inside / Out and feelings … good feelings and bad , Who you feel safe with and what to do if you don ’ t feel safe .
