Don’t miss out on this great free family event taking place today (Wednesday).

The popular Emergency Services Day returns to the heart of Falkirk from 10am until 4pm.

This family day out offers an opportunity to meet the people keeping our communities safe, as well as getting a closer look at the 999 crew vehicles.

Police Scotland, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service have all signed up to attend which means youngsters – and the not so young – have chance to see inside police cars, ambulances, fire appliances and emergency responder vehicles.

Taking place on the High Street, next to the face painters, from 11am to 3pm, it will be perfect chance to meet fellow collectors, swap your doubles and help complete each other’s albums.
