THE first ever virtual open day from Warrington Fire Station will take place this weekend.
Residents in Warrington can find out about the lifesaving work of firefighters on Saturday from the comfort of their own home.
From 10am to 3pm, there will be a wide range of informative and fun activities for the community to enjoy by accessing the Warrington Fire Station Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Watch manager at the Winwick Road station, Damian Wight, said: "We hold an open day every year and we are not going to let the coronavirus pandemic halt that tradition.
"The current restrictions prevent us from holding an open day in its usual form, so we have organised our first ever virtual open day to safely show our community the work that we do and the equipment we use.
"There will be a range of videos and other informative and fun things for people to enjoy through social media from the comfort of their own homes.
"You will learn a lot about the life of a firefighter and the roles that our crews play in serving the community, and you will also pick up some vital safety messages to keep you and your family safe."
To enjoy the open day please visit @WarrFS on Twitter and Warrington Fire Station on Facebook.
