Some of our Wessex Fire Heritage Fleet crew have been at Lytchett Minster Rugby Club today for their first family fun day. They took the Scania fire appliance and our gift and toy stall. The crews reported back that it was an extremely busy day with lots of interest in the appliance and stall. Tomorrow the Scania and crew will be at the Dorset Plane Pull. Thank you to everyone who came and seen us today and a special thanks to Matt Larcombe for the drone footage of the appliance.
