Year 1 and 2 pupils at the Flintshire primary school enjoyed a surprise visit from North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

Firefighters from Mold Fire Station arrived at Ysgol Mynydd Isa to inspire pupils with their new topic, Burning Bright.

Pupils were amazed to see all the equipment that the fire engine carries and the amount of water it holds too.

Some pupils were lucky enough to hold some of the equipment, try on the firefighter's coat and helmet, and even sit inside the fire engine.

Year 1 and 2 Leader Dawn Nevitt added: "All the children got to see the lights and hear the very loud siren. Thank you to Mold Fire Station for inspiring our pupils."
