Green watch at Alfreton Community Fire Station, Turnpike Business Park, has hosted visits from paramedics, schoolchildren and rugby players.
Posting on the station’s Facebook page – fb.com/AlfretonFireStn – a station spokesman said: “We had a visit from East Midlands Ambulance Service to do some joint road traffic collision and trauma care training.
“Mansfield under-18s girls rugby team joined us to get an awareness of our fitness exams and team building, while we had children’s groups on station for their badges and a show and tell.”
The station also welcomed firefighters from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service’s Ascot Drive station in Derby, “to develop our rope rescue skills”.
