Thankyou to everyone who came to our open day yesterday. It wasn't without its challenges as we were very busy as a service attending incidents. If you didn't get a chance, please could you donate to the Firefighters charity. See you again next year. donate.firefighterscharity.org.uk/?dontype=single
