Are you ready to get hot under the collar for the annual Historic Fire Engines Rally at Kew Bridge Steam Museum? Come and see a host of different fire engines, dating from 1914 to the 1980's, displayed and in action on Sunday May 21.

Organised by the Fire Service Preservation Group, the rally will feature early motorised Dennis fire engines, 1914 and 1916, including the magnificent 1916 petrol driven model from the Royal College of Science complete with student firemen in period dress. There will also be a mix of younger fire appliances including a war-time and 1980's models, as well as appliances which are still in use, and fire fighting demonstrations.

For children, there will be hands-on activities using fire related objects from the museum's collection including a competition to see how quickly they can empty a tank of water using a traditional stirrup pump.
