All of the vehicles were open so the kids were free to climb in, push the buttons and generally have a good time. Of course, Max the transport nut was in his element and had a very busy time 'driving' every vehicle that he could...
Max's favourite Fire Engine was the Wellington Airport one which he visited 4 times. I think he would have still been there had I left him to it!
At one point there were a dozen children in the front of this!
Max the Paramedic...
Max the Policeman...
Max the Heli-fireman...
Max the Rescuer...
Max the Ambulance driver...
The Helipro helicopter attended the event and drew a large crowd around the arena.
It did various displays with several of the teams that use its service; the Armed Response team did a 'fast rope' and the Rural Fire team did an abseil and a winch exercise. They were going to demonstrate the monsoon bucket but the wind got up a bit - this is Wellington after all, so that was cancelled.

Some video of the Helipro Helicopter in action. It was very exciting!
Max came home a very happy, but tired little boy.
