Families met the Fire Service, Police, National Highways, Network Rail, British Red Cross and St John Ambulance at Saturday’s event and were able to see the vehicles used in their work.
There were live demonstrations, vehicles to explore, exciting activities where visitors got hands on with equipment, crafts and live music from Hade Edge Brass Band.
The event saw people get the unique opportunity to learn first-hand how today’s emergency response teams work together, react to emergencies, the part vehicles play, and the tools professionals use to save lives.
Young visitors got with themed crafts and budding engineers can join IzWiz Robotics to build their own LEGO emergency vehicles.
Here’s a selection of photos from the day.
