Press Release - Firefighters' annual pantomime returns

Thursday 13 December 2007

09.00hrs

 

Avon Fire & Rescue Service firefighters are putting on a special pantomime for local school children.

 

Members of Green Watch at Avonmouth Fire Station have been involved in the planning, writing and production of Hansel and Gretel, which will be performed on Monday 17 December.

 

Members of Green Watch will also be acting in the production and have invited children from four primary schools in the Avonmouth area to watch.

 

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

 

The show will be performed again on Sunday 23 December for the firefighters’ families.

 

Watch Manager Ashley Wright, who is directing this year’s production, said: “Our pantomimes are becoming a regular event on the calendar now and we hope this year’s production will be just as popular as those in previous years.

 

“As well as having fun and entertaining the local children, we feel the pantomime is a great way to get across important fire safety messages.”

 

Note to editors

 

The show will take place at 13.30hrs on Monday 17 December at Avonmouth Fire Station, St Andrew’s Road, Avonmouth. Members of the media are welcome to attend.
