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.”
