Fire station open day set to draw crowds in Harrogate
Harrogate Fire Station will welcome members of the public to its popular annual open day next weekend.
The Skipton Road site will open its doors on Sunday, September 3 from 10am until 3pm.
Visitors will be able to see a variety of fire engines, including some demonstrations and interaction, and speak to members of North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Children will have the chance to pretend to be a firefighter, as well as learning basic first aid from St John Ambulance.
North Yorkshire Police, Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue and the Red Cross will also be represented, along with some police vehicles on site too.
The open day is free, though there is a charge for some of the activities.
A bouncy castle, refreshments and a raffle will all be held, and donations can also be made to the Fire Fighters Charity.
