The NIFRS are saying ‘a big well done to Chloe and Adam Sproule from Kesh County Fermanagh’ after they found themselves involved in a car fire in August “but thanks to their situational awareness and quick thinking they prevented serious injury to themselves and others”.
A post on the Northern Ireland Fire and rescue Service Facebook page says: “On Tuesday 30 August 2022 Chloe & Adam Sproule, who are 11 and 9, were travelling in a car with their Grandmother when they could smell smoke inside the vehicle.“They alerted their Grandmother and recalled advice they had received from a Firefighter during a school talk - to pull over immediately, exit the car and look for a safe place to stand by as you call NIFRS.“Only moments after they exited the car it went up in flames.”

"It also recognises the importance of collaborative working with Fermanagh & Omagh PCSP who provided us with vital resources to deliver our school talks in an alternative format during COVID-19 restrictions”.
