From bouncy castles and climbing walls to fire demonstrations and vintage vehicles, there was something for everyone. The six-hour event was a whirlwind of fun, with proceeds benefiting Ella’s Memory and the Firefighters Charity

So far, a total of £3,500 has been raised, with more still to come. 

"We’re absolutely thrilled with how the day went," said Mark Skinner, a firefighter at Helston Fire Station. "The feedback has been fantastic, and we’re so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate with us."
