Emergency Services Event at Eastnor Castle

The event will be held at Eastnor Castle between 

11am – 4.30pm on Sunday 17June.

Representatives from West Mercia Police, County Air Ambulance, Severn Area Rescue Association and Herefordshire 4 x 4 Response will also be attending, setting up several displays where visitors can learn more about the work the various agencies are called to respond to.

HWFRS is also planning a series of activities throughout the day, which will include a rescue demonstration on the lake by the water rescue team and a display of some of the 4 x 4 vehicles used by the Service. Visitors will also be able to take look inside the Service's Incident Command Unit, which attends all major incidents. The Service's Community Fire Safety team will be on hand to offer general fire safety advice and they will also be taking along their smoke tent to demonstrate how vital smoke detectors are, with advice on what to do in case of a fire in the home.

Station Commander Guy Palmer from HWFRS said: "This promises to be a fun filled family day with opportunities to take a close look at a range of equipment used by the Fire Service and other emergency services attending. We hope lots of people will come along to the event to enjoy the activities on offer."
