Chubb Live Fire Demo day on Thursday 29 October 2009
We have been able to get 16 places for the forthcoming Chubb Live Fire demo morning on Thursday 29 Oct 2009.
In conjunction with the Fire and Rescue Service, Chubb organises local fire demonstrations that Scouts can take part in in order to complete their fire safety badge. Scouts have the opportunity to use an extinguisher on a real live fire, and visit a fire station which in our case will be at Sunbury. The event should take approximately 2.5 hours and, if possible, may include a tour of the fire station.
Update 1 Oct 2009: We have now filled all the available slots for this event. Please feel free to ask to be put on the reserve list in case we manage to secure some more places.
These hugely popular sessions have been run by Chubb at operational fire stations up and down the country. Since part of the Scout’s fire safety badge requires Scouts to understand how to use fire blankets and extinguishers, the live fire demonstrations provide them with hands-on experience of the very hottest kind! This short clip gives a little taster of the live fire demonstrations.
The expected timetable for the morning to be:
09:30 am Meet and depart in 3HH minibus from Hampton Hill Junior School
10:00 am Arrivals at the Fire and Rescue Station
10:05 am Formal welcome from Jane Garland, Chubb Fire/Jay Tough, Red Watch Manager

10.50 am Tour of Fire Station (optional depending on availability of Fire Officers)
11.30 am Presentation to the Scouts of Certificates/badges, by representative from Fire Station and Chubb senior personnel followed by squash, tea, coffee and then everyone departs by approx 12.30 latest.
12.45 pm Arrive back at HHJS
