Today we attended the Get In scouting festival at ragley hall. We had a fantastic time talking to squirrels, beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers about fire safety and the different pieces of the equipment we carry on our fire engine.🚒

We were even more happy when we were told that the sirens on our fire engine were louder than the ones on the Alcester Police van 🚨🙉

Tomorrow, we will be making a return visit for day 3 and look forward to seeing even more enthusiastic scouts! 😄🧑‍🚒👨‍🚒

Today Bravo watch encountered some poor parking which could have seriously impacted our response on the way to an emergency.

Please be considerate about how and where you park your vehicle, you can make our life easier by folding in your mirrors and aligning your wheels so they are straight.

We were able to speak to some members of the public who were able to find a more suitable space for some of their vehicles.

Thankfully our skilled driver was able to slowly manoeuvre the fire engine and squeeze through some very narrow spaces 😰

In an emergency seconds count! So please park it right and save a life 😄🚒🚨
