Organised by the Fire Service Preservation Group, the rally will feature early motorised Dennis fire engines, including the magnificent 1916 petrol driven model from the Royal College of Science complete with student firemen in period dress. There will also be a mix of younger fire appliances including a war-time and 1980’s models, as well as appliances which are still in use, and fire fighting displays and demonstrations.
