Oakham Fire Station Take On The ‘Baby Shark’ Challenge

If you have not yet heard about the ‘baby shark challenge’ then consider yourself relatively lucky. 

For those of you who have so far managed to swerve the visual spectacle of the ‘baby shark challenge’ then we are pleased to share with you what will probably be your first visual experience of the marvel of dance, combined with the soothing undertones of a popular children’s song.

Having a small child myself means that I have had to listen to the soundtrack behind this challenge many times now and I am pleased to report that the ‘baby shark’ song has now been banned, for an indefinite period of time, from my household as my ears simply cannot take the audio pain anymore.

However, once I muted the video in order to escape the ‘song’ then I did enjoy watching my firefighting oppos as they attempted to unleash some serious ‘dance'(!?) moves, as you can see for yourself in the video below.

The video was made by Firefighters in an attempt to raise people’s awareness regarding water safety during the summer holidays.

And considering that the video has been viewed almost 150,000 times (not yet including your view) then I would say that Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service have done a pretty good job in raising awareness!
