Community safety sergeant Julie Powell said: “Come along to our Emergency Services Fun Day for a fun-packed family day out.

“Last year was the first time for us to combine our traditional police and fire open day events to bring people something much bigger and better than they have had opportunity to come to before. It was a great success last year and we anticipate another great day this year. As well as giving people opportunity to see and sit inside our emergency vehicles and meet police, fire and ambulance officers, there will be a number of activities and displays to entertain and inform visitors.

“Our aim of the day is to give insight to the type of work emergency services are carrying out to keep residents of Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot as safe as we can and also give us opportunity to meet the people we serve in a fun and informal way.”
