DOZENS of families enjoyed a funday at Walthamstow's new fire station.

The £7.5million building, which opened in Forest Road earlier this year, hosted the event on Saturday (July 21) as part of the 'Inspire' project, which uses the Olympic Games to promote health and fitness while also raising awareness of fire safety.

Visitors enjoyed free zumba dance lessons courtesy of staff at Waltham Forest Pool and Track, while youngsters also got a chance to try on fire-fighting uniforms and equipment, while also meeting brigade's fire dog Freddie.
