YOUNGSTERS revelled in the chance to see Chester Zoo from a unique point of view on Friday, June 21, thanks to Chester firefighters.
The city's blue and white watch teams took part in the special charity event Dreamnight at Chester Zoo, in aid of chronically ill and disabled children.
The event provides a free evening for children with disabilities and chronic illnesses to enjoy with their families.
A total of 145 zoos in 29 different countries take part in Dreamnight events, after it started in 1996.
About 1,500 visitors came through the doors for the event, with fire crews spending time showing the children the aerial appliance and fire engine which was situated next to the lion enclosure.
Firefighter Joseph Edmunds said: “The Dreamnight evening was a great night for the service to be involved in and proved to be both hugely enjoyable with children queuing to have a look around the aerial appliance and the pump.
“It was very humbling and we could see the children and families having a fantastic experience especially going in the aerial appliance.”
