POLICE and Fire officers are to join forces for an emergency service open day in Winsford.
The Joint Emergency Service Open Day takes place between 11am and 4pm on Sunday, May 17 at the police headquarters in Winsford.
Cheshire Constabulary will be working alongside Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service at the event to provide a look behind the scenes at some of the specialist vehicles and equipment they use.
Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: “This will be my first open day here in Cheshire and it will give me the opportunity to show you what we do, from local community policing through to tackling organised crime and dealing with riots.
“You will be able to see how officers and staff from the police and fire service work together to protect the community and reinforce the message that we’re here for our communities."
Interactive displays and exhibitions will be on show to give visitors the chance to see the complex nature of the work the two emergency services do.
Vintage and modern fire engines and vehicles will be on display alongside police cars.
For children there will be face painting, a climbing wall, craft area, circus workshop and a treasure hunt, which are all free.
