Thousands of people flocked to a family fun day on Saturday (July 21) for a look behind the scenes at a fire station, safety demonstrations and carnival-style entertainment.

Bathed in glorious sunshine, Worthing Fire Station’s open day joined forces with the Broadwater Carnival for the third year running.

The fire station’s watch manager and event organiser Darren Wickings estimated 12,000 visitors turned out on the day, making it a record-breaking year. “It was a roaring success, we had an absolutely fantastic day,” he said. “We had the mayor and the High Sheriff of West Sussex open it and the winner of Masterchef 2018, Kenny Tutt, was here to help us show how not to handle a chip-pan fire.”
