Is the young driver aged 10 to 17 in your life showing designs on being a firefighter when they grow up? This new Junior Fire Engine Driving Experience at UK wide venues could be just the thing to help bring that dream to life! On arrival at the venue, their day will begin with a welcome from an expert instructor, who will take them into the cab of the Dennis Fire Engine that they'll be driving, giving them a full safety briefing and running them through the dials and controls, where they'll sit and also get them used to the size of the vehicle, which is approximately 10 metres in length. They'll also be offered expert tuition as they attempt to take on the custom prepared auto course, navigating this stunning engine around slaloms, and tight and technical sessions, as well as attempting reverse manoeuvres to perfect your parking. They'll also be presented with and get to take home a Certificate of Completion of their driving day so they can show off to all their friends and family that they got to drive a fire engine - a truly unforgettable experience!
