A NIGHTCLUB joined forces with a fire brigade last night to highlight safety issues.

The crew and appliance of Cleveland Fire Brigade's Red Watch mingled with revellers at Club Millennium, at Teesside Park, for the promotion, organised as part of Teesside Fire Week.

While club staff regularly take part in fire drills, the aim was to ensure that customers are aware of what to do in the event of a fire.

Kash Patel, the club's sales and marketing manager, said: "The safety and security of all our customers and staff is of paramount importance to us, and Red Watch were brilliant in coming along to promote Fire Week in such a high-profile way.
