Fire Engine Experience 1 Hour 2 to 1 Taster

Can you imagine yourself at the wheel of a 13 Ton Dennis or Scania 82 Fire Appliance? With blue lights blazing on the way to put out the fire! You can work the hoses too.

This is a two to one driving experience - two drivers taking in turns, lots of room for friends and family to come in the appliance with you. An experienced fire fighter instructor is on hand to help you enjoy your experience.

A maximum of two participants on the course with the hour shared between the two drivers who are both in the vehicle for the whole course. 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 13 ton Dennis RS or Scania 82m Fire appliance 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!
