EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s at Mirfield fire station's open day. The focal point of the image is Fireman Richard Hagger, who finds himself in the midst of an exciting encounter with three youngsters and footballer Wayne Routledge. As part of the open day festivities, these enthusiastic children were given a unique opportunity to try out their firefighting skills using helmets and hoses. Their faces radiate pure joy and excitement as they engage in this thrilling drill under the watchful eye of Fireman Hagger. The purpose behind opening the station's doors to the public was not only to entertain but also to raise funds for a noble cause - the West Yorkshire Fire Service Benevolent Fund. This event served as a reminder that our emergency services rely on community support and generosity. Adding further allure to this spectacle was a colossal hydraulic firefighting platform, which undoubtedly drew crowds throughout the day. Its towering presence symbolized both strength and resilience while capturing everyone's attention. This photograph encapsulates an era where children eagerly admired firefighters as heroes, inspiring them through interactive experiences like these. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when communities rallied together for fundraising efforts while fostering admiration for those who risked their lives every day.
