The Notorious Dennis Sabre was the Fire Fighters favourite machine up until the early 2000s. Even now there are a handful of models still in service! Credit to it’s incredible build quality and reliability. The engine loves to rev and can be driven hard all day long. Powered by a turbocharged Cummins 8.2-litre engine it’s surprisingly quick even considering it’s weight –  12 tonnes fully laden with it’s water tank.

Immerse yourself as part of the fire attack team in this hands on real fire fighting scenario. You’ll be fitted out in firefighting gear, suit, boots, helmet and gloves ready to respond to the ’emergency call’ and race to the scene. You’ll get to choose to either drive the Fire Engine around the circuit or go as a crew member if you do not drive. Guided by an expert instructor you’ll gain training with various pieces of fire fighting equipment so that you can safely extinguish the simulated car fire. Depending on the number in the group you’ll rotate roles such as ‘hose operator’ or ‘search and rescue lead’ to locate any ‘casualties’ from the scene. The day will conclude with a fireman’s debrief to gain insight of the crew’s performance under pressure.

This experience is ideal for corporate team-building action, hen or stag do’s or a unique gift for anyone who’s keen to experience a day in the life of a firefighter. A media team will be onsite if you wish to capture the evidence of you in the action as an optional extra.
