These fast, manoeuvrable and large rescue vehicles are a challenge to drive. Set your siren blaring and negotiate the course as you learn from the driving seat of the cab what it’s like to be in the emergency services. This one-to-one session with an experienced instructor and firefighter will improve your driving skills, and its also a lot of fun!
You will drive the Appliance through a specially laid out course including top gear main roads, T-junctions, roundabouts, slaloms and garages. Things are made as realistic as possible so the emergency vehicle will be carrying a full equipment load plus 2 tonnes of water! Subject to availability, but generally you get the chance to use the hoses and sometimes even put out a fire!
Group Size: Tuition is shared with 5 other voucher holders.
You will spend 30 minutes at the wheel of the fire engine.
