Primary-seven pupils from every school on the island and second-year pupils at Arran High School recently attended the final Arran Avoids Accidents experiential learning event which was held at the Lamlash Community Fire Station.
The event, which has been running on the island for the past 17 years, has sadly decided that it is to cease after work commitments from many of the agencies involved made it increasingly difficult to ensure its survival.
The multi-agency event gave the school children some hands-on experience and provided an insight into what it is like to be a member of an emergency service and to gain knowledge of what to do and what not to do in the case of an emergency.
