Firefighters in Monmouth helped celebrate National Childminding Week last Wednesday (8th June) with a morning of fun at the station.

Parents, carers, childminders and 15 children got to dress up in firefighting suits, take control of the hose and see how a fire engine works.

Fire officers Steve Jones, Steve Bishop, Dave Ayre and Steve Finn also took the party on a tour of the station.
