EscortNreg Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Every year Wessex Cancer Trust pay for Paediatric oncology patients (Kids with cancer) to go to paultons park, this has been going on for 15 years but the really amazing part is, every year private owners of vintage and collectable fire engines/ambulances/police cars pick up all the kids and famillys from Scum football stadium and transport them to paultons then pick them up from paultons and take them to a party back at romsey fire station all at there own cost (and we know how much fuel is now days) then back at the fire station the firemen put on a huge buffet for all the kids and deck out the station with balloons etc. Unfortunatly my son (see avatar pic) has cancer but we were lucky enough to be selected for this once in a lifetime opertunity... My son, just coming off a weeks worth of steriods and chemo didnt want to go on a fire engine first of all so we had to follow them all down, in the vid, i am the silver ford focus between the last engine and the huge MONSTER recovery truck. we got him on an engine after paultons though and he LOVED IT!!!! Here is a vid of the fire engines leaving the stadium i was gonna put this in the main section but its a vid so here it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Such a nice thing for the guys to do. That white dodge police car was my fave i think. Reminds me of the transformer police car.. What's the legality on the use of the blues and twos? Police turn a blind eye to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the legality on the use of the blues and twos? Police turn a blind eye to it? They only used them coming in and out the stadium and paultons.. paultons is a private road so all good.. as for coming out the stadium... Im sure they would turn a blind eye.. As for favorites.. mine is the silver focus between the last engine and monster recovery truck lol And the white recovery truck. i loved that!!!!
