There will be over 100 vehicles on display, both in the air and on the ground.
We will add more information regarding the vehicles as and when they're confirmed.
This will be the only "live fire" event in the UK.
There will be international vehicles from Europe and the USA.
Vintage fire engines will feature alongside modern-day versions.
We also are please to announce that there will be the debut appearance of the latest fire engine which features the longest ladder in the UK!
There will be a number of firefighting demonstrations throughout the day.
The event will also feature displays from "American Smoke Jumpers". Smoke jumpers are highly trained and experienced firefighters who provide leadership for initial and extended attack on wildland fires across the country. Smokejumpers commonly extinguish small fires before they become established, or can provide leadership, situational awareness, and intelligence for incoming resources on emerging incidents. Shortly after jumpers touch ground, they are then supplied by parachute with food, water, and firefighting tools, allowing self-sufficiency for 48 hours. Smoke jumpers are usually on duty from late spring through the early fall. When there is not fire activity smokejumpers will be assigned to other jobs such as forestry, disaster relief and emergency management.
They'll be lots for all the family to enjoy, including tank, helicopter & tractor rides.
There will also be photo opportunities with fire engines and firefighters.
The event will also raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity (FFC). The FFC understand the mental, physical and social burdens that can come from being a past or present member of the UK’s dedicated fire services community. They rescue the rescuers and help them to recover their lives when they need it most. Find out more by clicking here.
