In the midst of a screen-focused and sometimes sanitised and risk-averse world, we don’t often expose our kids to the idea that real danger actually exists. If you want to meet some real life heroes who confront danger every day, as opposed to doing battle on-screen, check out the free Open Days at fire stations across London this summer sponsored by Playmobil to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the creation of the London Fire Brigade. Should be pretty fun too…

Meet real fire fighters and some Playmobil life sized ones at free Open Days at fire stations across London

We also have a great competition to win six Playmobil Fire Stations with alarms.
