Kenilworth Fire Station is set top open its doors to the general public with an open day this August.

Running on August 20, the School Lane station will be giving local people the chance to meet the firefighters, learn more about the fire and rescue service and take part in fun family activities. 

Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is hosted five open days across the county this summer.

The dates and locations of the open days are as follows: 

• Southam Fire Station: 6 August, 10am – 4pm 
• Leamington Fire Station: 13 August, 10am – 4pm 
• Kenilworth Fire Station: 20 August, 10am – 4pm 
• Nuneaton Fire Station: 3 September, 10am – 4pm 
• Polesworth Fire Station: 10 September, 10am – 3pm 

Further details regarding some of the upcoming open days are still to be released and will be shared via the local fire stations' Facebook pages as they are confirmed. 

These open days also offer another opportunity for the public to have their say on the WFRS draft strategy for Prevention, Protection and Response 2022-2027.

And with applications now open for firefighters in Warwickshire, those looking to apply for the position will be able to speak to team members for insights and advice into the role and recruitment process. 

Cllr Andy Crump, portfolio holder for Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service, said: "We're delighted to be in a position where we can once again welcome members of the public to come and spend time at our local fire stations.

"It's a great day out for the family, and it gives us the opportunity to make those all-important links with the communities we're serving.

"The better we know our communities, the better we can protect them."
