Children at a New Gisborne preschool learnt how to phone triple-0 and heard flood safety tips when SES crew members including Rob Lewis visited as part of last week’s Wear Orange Wednesday.
Kids at Goodstart Early Learning dressed in their brightest orange clothes for the annual event, which provides opportunities for communities to show their support for the volunteer service.
Goodstart director Jodie Radas said the visit was a big hit.
‘‘The kids just loved it,’’ she said. ‘‘It helped put it in perspective for the children.
To see the truck here and be able to have a chat to the volunteers about the kinds of things they do, it was just brilliant.’’
Gisborne SES deputy controller Di Dale said the visit was a great opportunity to talk about the service.
