Father Christmas is pictured arriving on the Quint.

18 December 2006

Father Christmas made a dramatic entrance at Winslow Fire Station’s Christmas bazaar on Saturday at the top of an 80-foot turntable ladder.

He arrived in style on Great Holm Fire Station’s Quint appliance. Other vehicles on display included Winslow Fire Station’s rescue pump, Buckingham Fire Station’s water tender and Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service’s Community Safety outreach vehicle with some seasonal fire safety advice.

The bazaar, which took place between 10am and 1pm, raised £512. The money will be shared between the Fire Services National Benevolent Fund and local charities.
