WILMSLOW Community Fire Station is opening its doors to the public on Saturday for an event promising something for all ages.

The free annual open day runs from 10am to 3pm, and will be hosted at the Altrincham Road station with Cheshire Police and North West Ambulance Service.

It will include safety displays, including height safety and road traffic collision demonstrations by firefighters and police officers.

Visitors will have the chance to look around fire and rescue vehicles, including vintage fire engines, the technical rescue unit from Lymm and animal rescue unit from Bollington.

Wilmslow Community Fire Station manager Lloyd Blower said: “This is a great way for the community to learn more about their fire station and some of the work we undertake.

“The crew will be doing operational demonstrations throughout the day, along with a number of activities to keep visitors entertained.

“It will be a fun and informative day for all the family, and we want as many people to come along as possible.

“You will learn a lot about the life of a firefighter and the roles they and the station play in serving the community, and you will also pick up vital safety messages to keep you and your family safe.”

George Vlastos, Wilmslow Community Sergeant at Cheshire Police, said: “This year will be the first joint open day in Wilmslow, and I am really looking forward to meeting residents and showcasing some of the work we do at Cheshire Police.

“Residents will also have the opportunity to see some of the vehicles and equipment we use, meet their local officers and speak to them about any concerns or issues they may have.”

Refreshments will be available to buy on the day, including ice cream and cold drinks.
