The Lord-Lieutenant joined Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service at Colwick Park for a fun‑filled water safety afternoon, delivered in partnership with Nottingham City Council.
The Family Water Safety Fun Day, held on Monday 6 April, gave visitors the opportunity to meet and speak with operational firefighters, explore emergency vehicles, and learn more about the life‑saving work carried out on and around water.
Throughout the event, specialist crews ran a series of live demonstrations and hands‑on activities, helping to raise awareness of water safety while showcasing the skills and equipment used during water rescue incidents. Families were able to engage directly with firefighters and gain practical advice on staying safe near open water.
The event proved to be an educational and enjoyable afternoon for all ages, supporting ongoing efforts to promote water safety within the community.
