Firefighters from Newhaven community fire station will be attending the Newhaven Lifeboat Fete this Saturday, 4th July. The firefighters will have a display area at the event and will be offering important fire and road safety advice.

In addition, the Green Watch crew will be attempting to run the equivalent distance of the New York City Marathon on a relay basis while wearing Welephant and Fireman Sam costumes! The firefighters will each take it in turns to run stretches of the 26-mile distance on a running machine in order to raise funds for their trip to New York to take part in the real New York City Marathon in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity.

The Newhaven Lifeboat Fete will be taking place from 1pm on Saturday 4th July 2009 on Huggetts Green, West Quay in Newhaven. Admission is free.
