we started on Sondela as little 1 graders with no idea as to what  is going on we started off by doing fire fight ing ,and first aid .we had a class on fire fighting and covered many things such as fuels ,the combustion triangle ,the methods that can be used to stop a fire etc. we also had a practical we had to put out a fire with a DCP ( dry chemical powder ) extinguishers . we also had a fire drill on the same day with Cristine pienaar and Sieg it was so much fun but hard work .we had to run with full gear and we were also showed how to work with fire flaps and the generator that pumps water. the next we did was first aid we also had to write a test on the things we learnt such as bleeding ,broken bones etc we also had to do a practical were we performed cpr (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) we had to do it as we were dealing with a real person !!. this has help us in many ways we can now help a person in need and put out fires when needed .
