How our team of fire-fighters warmed to their task

Jets of water, powder and foam from a battery of extinguishers were aimed by fire-fighters at a grass bank in the churchyard. Fortunately there were no flames to douse.

Fifteen people from the parish and community were taking part in a practical demonstration of fire extinguishers. The event was led by Sam Wilkinson of Mirfield-based Samson Fire. 

​Cath Ball, Dot Greenwood, Brian Mallinson and Richard Wood were among those who practised the correct use of different types of extinguisher during this valuable fire safety training session.

We thank Fireman Sam for so generously sharing his time and expertise.
