Firefighters and other blue light workers are teaming up to spread safety messages as part of a family event at Odsal Stadium.
The Family Fun Day, which includes fire, police and ambulance, will take place on Sunday, 11 September, before Bradford Bulls’ last rugby game of the season against Widnes Vikings.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) will be showcasing the work they do to help rescue people with the help of their new water safety flume, fire and rescue boat and emergency vehicles.
The water safety flume simulates the makeup of different bodies of water, including waterfalls, stepping-stones, weirs, and culverts, with the aim to make people think twice before entering such waters.
Members of the wildfire unit will also be demonstrating simple preventative and safety measures to help stop wildfires, which have been particularly ferocious over the last few weeks due to the hot, dry summer.
Those at the match will even get to see the famous fire mascot race at half time. Blaze Bear will represent the fire service and go up against four other mascots in a bid for first place and to be crowned the ultimate champion.
