"We also learnt that it takes only eight seconds for a room to go up in flames.
"I think the firemen are very brave to do such a dangerous job but I feel much more prepared if I ever found myself in a situation where there is a fire."
The visit is part of the West Yorkshire Fire Services bid to make children aware of the dangers of fire and to better equip themselves in an emergency situation.
After their talk a few of the pupils were given the opportunity to try on some firemen's hats for the camera.
