Ryde Fire Station have once again erected a Christmas tree high upon their drill tower, in what has become an annual tradition.
The holidays are well and truly coming now that the tree can be seen shining brightly from across the town.
Firefighters this week used an Aerial Ladder Platform to lift the massive tree into place and decorate it with multicoloured lights – an ideal training scenario. The tree is donated by Ryde Town Council each year.
A formal switch-on would normally take place during the Wight Brainy Bunch’s Christmas Fair, but with COVID putting a stop to such festivities this year there will be no lighting up ceremony.
Looks very pretty. Very festive. Good job to all involved in taking the time to being a little Christmas cheer to Ryde fire station.
Great to see Newport fire station has a lovely tree on top of their tower Well done guys both at Ryde & Newport
Nice to see, not in the best position like the Newport one, but festive none the less.
