Cookridge Fire Station is throwing open its doors to the public for a day of fun and fire safety advice.
The station will have a variety of stalls and attractions on Sunday, September 16 between 10am and 4pm.
Attractions will include Wet the Firefighter game, a raffle and the local Aireborough Gym Club will put on a display.
There will be a spectacular car fire display and the brigade’s chip pan display unit will be at the station to show visitors the dangers of using a chip pan in graphic detail, with firefighters there to give home fire safety advice.
There will also be a chance to buy a bargain when the station, in Otley Old Road, holds a car boot sale on Saturday, August 25, between 8am and 12pm.
Cookridge firefighters have carried out around 640 free home fire safety checks so far this year and fitted more than 1,000 smoke detectors. To book a home fire safety check call 0800 587 4536 or visit www.westyorksfire.gov.uk
All money raised at the open day and car boot sale will go to local charities, which have yet to be decided.
