A showcase to celebrate our great emergency services

This weekend is a very special opportunity for all visitors to really get insight on all the hard work and dedication the emergency services provide for all, meet a variety of crew members and have a closer look at the older and newer response vehicles,

This year is the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service are fully supporting the event, and they hope to have their new ALP from Worthing along with the Technical Rescue Unit from Horley.
