The station will be open for members of the public to come and find out what life is like at a fire station and to take a look around our fire engines.

Joining the event will be Gemma’s Hearts, which be raising awareness of cardiac arrests and teaching CPR, a valuable lifesaving skill. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Road Safety Partnership will also be sharing road safety advice.
