The city’s fire station, on Parkside Place will be taking part in the Open Cambridge event on Friday (13) and Saturday (14) September along with many other venues across the city.
Open Cambridge is in its 12th year, and is a hugely popular celebration of Cambridge’s history, architecture, art, and gardens and is run by the University of Cambridge.

Crews will also be on hand to talk to residents about fire, water, and road safety as well as answer any questions from potential recruits about the current wholetime firefighter recruitment campaign. The fire station will be open to the public both days with free entry from 11 am until 4 pm.
