Darren Wickings, Watch Manager at Worthing Fire Station, who is organising the event, said: "The Open Day is a real family fun day with so much to do. It is also a great chance for the public to see their local firefighters in action. Our themes this year are home fire safety and reducing road traffic collisions and this gives us a great opportunity to engage people in a much more relaxed and informal setting."

The Fire Station will have use of Broadwater Green and the Broadwater School field. Ardsheal Road will be closed for the duration of the event. Entry is free and all proceeds from the day will be donated to the Firefighters Charity and selected local charities.
