One week to go until fun-filled open day

Crews from Burton Community Fire Station are inviting local residents of all ages to attend an open day next week.

The event, which is free to attend, will take place on Saturday 20 June between 11am and 4pm, at the station on Moor Street.

Between 11am and 12pm will be a sensory hour, with no flashing lights or loud noises.

From watching demonstrations, to exploring our fire appliances, and enjoying fairground rides, inflatables and refreshments, there is something for everyone.

There will also be a recruitment stand where firefighters will be on hand to talk to attendees about career opportunities within the service.

Station Manager Andy Bourne, said, “We are really looking forward to welcoming the local community to our station to enjoy our open day.
“There will be a range of activities to take part in and it’s also a great opportunity to learn more about the work our firefighters and staff do.
“All of the profits will go directly to the Fire Fighters Charity. We are proud to support their mission to offer specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community.”
