THE Emergency Services Family Fun Day returns to Bournemouth's Kings Park next month.
Organised by Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (DWFRS) in partnership with local charity SafeWise, Dorset Police, South Western Ambulance Service and other emergency services, the event includes a number of displays and demonstrations.
DWFRS area manager for Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole, Craig Baker, said: "The Emergency Services Family Fun Day is now in its fifth year and is an established event in the local calendar.
"It is an ideal opportunity to meet your emergency services in a non-emergency setting, and to find out more about the prevention, protection and response activities that we are involved with."
Safe & Well advice, a ‘blue light’ driving experience, police drones, charity stalls and a wide range of emergency vehicles from across the services will be on show.
Dorset Police chief Superintendent Mark Callaghan said: "This is our largest community engagement event of the year and an excellent opportunity to showcase our own expertise as well as our work with multi-agency partners.
"The objective of the event is to share crime prevention, community reassurance and safety messages, whilst entertaining people and providing a family day out."
The free event is scheduled for Kings Park, Bournemouth, between 11am-4pm, on Saturday July 21.
