Dunk a firefighter - and much more – at Woburn station open day

Every year fire stations across the county open their doors to the public for a free event which also supports the Firefighters charity.

Woburn station on George Street, is open on July 13 and people will be able to meet the crew, watch live demos, dunk a firefighter and try out some of the firefighting equipment.

There will also be colouring competitions and the chance to look in the emergency vehicles. Crews will also be offering fire safety advice.

Chief Fire Officer, Andrew Hopkinson said: “These events are a great opportunity to meet your local firefighters and find out more about the work they do, all while raising funds for The Fire Fighters Charity”.
