Families flocked to Southsea on Sunday to enjoy Southsea Fire Station’s open day which proved to a popular event.

The annual open day was a popular event this year with crowds of people turning out to get involved in the fun that the crew had to offer.

Children were able to try on the firefighter’s uniform and see what the crew get up to on a day to day basis and families also had the opportunity to watch live demonstrations.
