Meet a firefighter FB 1

Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) is inviting the community to join them for a series of exciting open days at fire stations across the county this summer.

These free events are a fantastic opportunity to meet your local firefighters, learn valuable fire safety tips, and enjoy a fun-filled day with the whole family. 

Councillor Andy Crump, Portfolio Holder for Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Our open days are a great chance for residents to come along, see what we do, and meet the dedicated firefighters who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. There will be fun activities for all ages. It's a brilliant way to learn more about fire safety in a relaxed and informative environment."
