A NEW support group for childminders working in the Richmond and Catterick area had to call in the fire brigade - but only so the children could see one of the North Yorkshire brigade's appliances up close.
Richmondshire Childminding Support Group invited the fire crew to one of its sessions so children could learn more about their job - and the youngsters really enjoyed the experience.
Anyone interested in joining the support group is welcome to attend at The Family Centre in Hipswell every Wednesday between 9.30am and noon.
There is a £2 fee but childminders can enjoy a chat while the children play.
For further information ring (01748) 850397.
