Clydebank residents were given once in a blue moon access to a fire station which, any other day, is strictly invite only.
The open day saw residents of all ages take to the Clydebank Community Fire Station, getting hands on with its equipment and meeting the wonderful fire fighters who keep the area safe.
The free-to-enter event was held from 11am to 3pm today in aid of the Fire Fighters Charity, which offers support to not only firefighters across the UK, but their families.

Lewis Clark, Clydebank Community Fire Station Watch Commander, previously said: “We’re always delighted to welcome our local community to the open days we hold at our fire stations.
“Events like these are a fantastic opportunity for families to meet and engage with their local firefighters, explore a fire engine, have a go at using a fire hose, stalls, games, and exhibitions, will also be on show.
"An enjoyable and fun day out for the family, while also picking up some important advice on staying safe.
“Our crew will be on hand to share practical advice on fire safety in the home, as well as how to stay safe in and around water.
“And, while everyone is enjoying the day and getting to know their local fire service, all proceeds from the event will go towards the Fire Fighters Charity, helping to support firefighters and their families when they need it most.”
The Kilbowie Road premises was clearly filled with smiles as the open day proved to be a huge success.
