task

activities

-During one of the manoeuvres, we discovered how to lower a tree that had fallen due to a storm. There are two maneuvers that really stand out to me:- first time, the firefighters took us up into a tower filled with smoke to imitate a fire and then showed us how to extinguish it. - second, the firefighters made us climb the ladder and we all saw the inside of the reserve where they stored their vehicles.
