Dogsthorpe Fire Station is opening its doors to the public on Saturday, 6th July 2019 for a free event that promises something for all the family. The station will be open for members of the public to come and find out what life is like at a fire station and take a look around fire engines.
Also joining the event is Gemma’s Hearts, who’ll be raising awareness of cardiac arrests and teaching CPR, a valuable lifesaving skill. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Road Safety Partnership will be sharing road safety advice.
There’ll be plenty of sweet treats on offer, including an ice cream van and tea and cake stand. There will also be an Indian food stall and henna stand. For those interested in finding out more about careers with Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service, the recruitment team will be available to talk about future opportunities.
