Please note

Where operational response crews are requested to deliver, we cannot guarantee attendance and or full delivery as the priority has to be given to responding to emergency situations if they arise. When the Education team is requested to deliver, a date and time can be guaranteed.

Suitable access, egress, and hard standing is required on school grounds for the fire appliance.

It may be possible to arrange extra practical content to be delivered outside the classroom. This should be agreed upon and risk assessed in advance of the visit with the delivery team attending.

Some specialist package delivery will be undertaken solely by the Education Team.
