The Firefighter Experience

Come on be honest, how often have you dreamt of driving a fire engine?  Blue lights on, racing down the road! Well now you can. 

At the wheel of a 12 Ton Dennis Fire Appliance, on the way to the fire with blue lights on, usually you'd be getting out the way of a fire tender - why not get in one and drive it for yourself, you can work the hoses too.

You will have a few hundred gallons of water on board, feel the vehicle lean around the roundabout! 

This is a one to one driving experience, with lots of room for friends and family to come in the appliance with you. Experienced fire fighter instructor to help you enjoy your experience and it's always quite surprising how big these amazing vehicles are when you get up close! 

Get really close and spend an hour with an experienced instructor and fire fighter learning how to drive one safely AND quickly!! 

You will manoeuvre either a 12 ton Dennis Fire appliance around a specially laid out course including top gear main roads, roundabouts, T- junctions, slaloms and garages. To make things as realistic as possible the vehicle will be carrying a full equipment load and carrying 2 tonnes of water, plenty to go at with the hose! and maybe put out a fire!
