Everyone welcome! # Reception Firefighter visit ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/A8CB7AD5-FC9A-4252-B111-9427E9BB1FFA.jpeg) 20 March 2025 Today the Fire Service visited our Reception classroom to talk about how they help to keep us and the community safe. Lee reminded us that we must check our smoke alarms as they are the best way to keep us safe at home. He also told us about the different ways they help in emergencies, from putting out fires to rescuing trapped animals. He showed us their special uniform and the tools they need to perform their jobs. We then had a look at the fire engine and even experienced a quick shower from the very powerful fire hose. A big thank you to Darwen Fire Service for a brilliant morning. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/A8CB7AD5-FC9A-4252-B111-9427E9BB1FFA.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/visits-and-visitors) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0070_(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-19-year-6-mrs-doubtfire-covent-garden-trafalgar-square) Previous ### [Year 6- Mrs Doubtfire, Covent Garden & Trafalgar Square](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-19-year-6-mrs-doubtfire-covent-garden-trafalgar-square) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/live_streaming.PNG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-21-year-3-online-safety-live-streaming) Next ### [Year 3- Online Safety- Live Streaming](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-21-year-3-online-safety-live-streaming) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
