A special event combining numerous emergency services- including the Police and Air Ambulance- comes to Filey on Sunday.
The family day out has been organised by Filey and Eastfield Police and Scarborough Fire and Rescue in collaboration with Filey Lions and the Filey Playing Fields Association. It's on Clarence Drive Playing Fields from 11am until 4pm.
It is also supported by many local organisations which are integral to the work of the emergency services.
It provides an opportunity for members of the public of all ages to meet the diverse range of North Yorkshire’s emergency services teams, all in one location. These teams are a combination of both full time and also volunteer members who contribute their valuable support skills.
On display are an array of specialist vehicles and expertise ranging from volunteer mountain rescue teams, Yorkshire Air Ambulance, RNLI, fire engines, police cars, police fire arms and dogs units.
The yellow Yorkshire Air Ambulance is scheduled to land between 12am and 1pm. This relies on the helicopter not being called to an incident prior to the anticipated arrival time.
Firefighters, police and ambulance will be delivering a hand-on lesson on the importance of road safety.
The story of a serious road traffic collision will be told from the perspective of four different people – a member of each of the emergency services and a young driver.
The dramatic conclusion is scheduled to take place at 11.15 am, when North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue give a live demonstration of how they go about cutting the roof off a crashed car after an accident, to get someone out who might have spinal or other serious injuries.
Sergeant Adam Marshall, of Filey and Eastfield Police, said:
“The emergency services day is a fun, family friendly event and we are very much looking forward to attending.
“On the day itself, officers and police volunteers will be running stalls filled with a variety of information on cybercrime, bogus caller, road safety and crime prevention.
“Our experience has found that events, such as this one, are a fantastic way to engage with the local community as well as help illustrate how the police works in partnership with other emergency services.
“Hopefully there will be a good turnout and I would like to encourage people to come over and say hello.”
