Description

Don`t jump out the way of the fire engine, jump in it and drive! Whether you are an aspiring fire-fighter or just want to experience firsthand how it feels to be behind the wheel of a 13 ton Dennis or Scania 82 Fire Appliance.

Spend an hour with an experienced instructor and Fire-fighter, learn how to manoeuvre, safely and quickly, around a specially laid out course including top gear main roads, roundabouts, T- junctions, slaloms, garages etc. 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!
