For the first time in 4 years, firefighters from Tisbury fire station will be holding a family fun day.
The event will take place tomorrow (Saturday 20 August) from 10am – 4pm, offering fun, entertainment, and advice for all ages.
Tisbury’s firefighters are excited to finally be able to welcome the local community back onto the fire station in The Avenue, and are encouraging everyone to come along and spend some time meeting firefighters, having a look around the station, fire appliances and learning about home, fire, and road safety.
The event will involve a wide range of activities, including a cooking fire demonstration, a display using the aerial ladder platform, and even teddy bear parachuting (and zip lining).
Visitors will also be able to see fire engines from Wessex Fire & Rescue Service’s Heritage Fleet, get involved in CPR sessions from Dorset & Wiltshire FRS’s Casualty Care team, and meet officers from Tisbury Police.
Firefighter Matt Mullins said:
“This is a great way for our local community to find out more about its local fire station. We’ve waited four years to hold this event and have so much planned, both fun and educational, for all the family – there will even be opportunities to win some fantastic family friendly prizes.
"We can’t wait to see as many people as possible getting involved.”
