Children from Wix Primary School, Clapham, were treated to a fire safety demonstration when visited by firefighters.
Richard Reid, of the London Fire Brigade, and several colleagues gave year 5 and 6 pupils at the school a lesson in preventing fires.
Aba Ackason, a Wix nursery teacher, said: “The kids had lots of fun with the fireman and even tried on their helmets.
"Richard Reid, who is one of the Government’s Reach role models, came down and as was great.”
The Reach programme helps raise the ambitions of black men.
