County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service are offering children aged between five and 17 who live in County Durham or Darlington the chance to win a unique Firefighter for a Day experience.
This initiative is designed to engage young people with their local fire and rescue service, help them understand fire safety, and give them an insight into the role of firefighters in their community.
The successful child will spend the day at a fire station with one of our crews and will have the opportunity to:
Meet firefighters and learn about their role
Explore a working fire station
Take part in supervised activities, including having a go with a hose
Try on firefighter protective clothing
Sit in a fire engine
The child will also be able to bring a friend with them to share the experience.
Entry into the prize draw is available to those who complete our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) public consultation.
In addition, adults aged 18 and over who complete the consultation will also have the chance to win a £100 Amazon voucher.
A video explaining more about the prize can be found here: https://we.tl/t-5x1cfGke0NmOBVu1 3 Likes
