LIVE?rescues and demonstrations by the emergency services were just some of the things that visitors to the Safety on Dartmoor Day on Sunday were able to enjoy.

The event, held at Lydford Gorge, involved rescue charities, branches of the emergency services, the National Trust and Dartmoor National Park Authority, and allowed visitors to meet people who run the local emergency services on Dartmoor and to see first hand how they carry out rescues.

Visitors had the opportunity to look around fire engines, police cars and ambulances, as well as meet local firefighters, police officers, air ambulance crew and rescue dogs.

Thanks were expressed to all the people who gave up their time to take part in the day and Palmers, Howells and Morrisons for giving food items for free.
