THE Fire Service began recruiting early this month when firefighters visited Old Hill Primary School.
The children were given a tour of a fire engine and even allowed to get their hands on a fully working hose at the Lawrence Lane school.
Nicola Billingham, from Old Hill Primary School “The children had a wonderful time with the firefighters and loved seeing the fire engine at the school.
“About forty children were involved during the event and we are very grateful for the firemen who took the time to come and visit us.”
