Imran Dean, Community Engagement Officer said: “The fire service represents the communities within which we work and it is important to us to represent the diversity of those communities within our workforce.” This is an informal day for people who may be considering joining the fire service to learn more and ask any questions they may have. The day is an opportunity for people to come along and meet firefighters, be given an introduction to the service and have a go at using some of the equipment used by firefighters on emergency calls.
