On Friday 4 December crews from Green Watch will take to the stage at Avonmouth Fire Station to perform their very own version of The Wizard of Oz.

Children from Avonmouth Primary School have been invited to watch the performance and enjoy a visit to the fire station.

As well as all the usual fun and laughter of a traditional pantomime, the firefighters’ production will include some important fire safety messages for the children.

Avonmouth Station Manager Derrick Hone said: “This is a great way for us to engage with local children and to get some fire safety messages out to the community. As well as watching the pantomime the children will be given the chance to look around the fire station and find out about life as a firefighter.

“The Avonmouth Fire Station pantomime is a regular event on our calendar and is bound to be great fun for the children watching.”
