Yishun Fire station by Ade Oei

My kids are my auto alarm clock, jumping on our faces, on my hair.And imitates the sound of the rooster to wake up us.
The benefit of living in Yishun is , us Yishun mummies and daddies,  can gather easily at Yishun Fire station. The kids waited eagerly for an officer come over to orient us.  
We went to a room where they picked up the emergency calls . We were shown the map,  on the area that fire station covers.  While the adults were keen knowing the details,  the kids were entertained by the helmet,  a kind officer passed to them. 
We are firemen
What ? I put on the hat , and I am still not a fireman?

The kids were excited in sitting in the fire engine,  more than anything.  The tank belows hold a substantial amount of water (which this mummy old liao, forgot how much) for them to fight fire.  
Again,  the adults are interested to know the details,  while the kids were touching the fire engine,  the wheels and basically anything they can set their eyes on. 

The different hose are used in different incidents,  the greater pressure were used in for e.g , the tuas site incident, where the firemen were not able to go near. The kids explored holding the hose, which cost $700!

The polite firemen greeted us in polite nods and hellos. While the kids rushed over,  hose the invisible fire down

The last activity was getting dressed in 1 min, 15 seconds. The kids were fascinated as much as the adults.  He did an impressive job,  under 1 minute.  

Thank you firemen,  for keeping us safe!  

Till then, See you again!
