Johnstone hots up as Fire Engine Rally
returns to the town
21
Johnstone was alive to the sound of sirens as the annual Fire Engine
Rally returned to the town once again. Thousands of people turned
out across the day to see fi re engines, past and present, showcased
in the town centre.
15 emergency vehicles paraded from Johnstone Fire Station into
Houston Square, where they remained for the afternoon, giving
everyone the chance to climb on board and learn how they’ve
advanced through the years.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service undertook a variety of
demonstrations throughout the day including cutting a trapped
person out of a car and how to deal with a chip pan fi re.
The crowds were kept further entertained with music, face painting
and falconry taking place all afternoon.
The event was hosted by Renfrewshire Council in partnership with
the Scottish Fire and Rescue Heritage Trust. Renfrewshire’s Provost
Lorraine Cameron was on hand to welcome everyone to the event on
the day. Provost Cameron said: “What a fantastic day in Johnstone
town centre”.
“It was great to see so many people visit to take in the parade of fi re
engines and then stay for an afternoon full of family activities. The
Fire Service provided a terrifi c day of education and it’s an event that
the whole community now looks forward to each year.”
“Renfrewshire has a packed events schedule which continues for the
rest of the year including the upcoming Spree Festival in October, so
make sure you check out what’s on and come along if you can make it!”

Orchard Flooring
Stylish, Durable: A Floor for Life
When choosing a new fl oor for your home, there are a few things to take into consideration. For a
lot of our clients, having a fl oor that isn’t going to be ruined by mucky feet, paw prints or spills is a
top priority. For this reason, light cream carpets can be problematic for many busy households.
Karndean and Amtico fl ooring are perfect for any room or situation in the home. They are both
waterproof, slip resistant and warm underfoot, as well as being a beautiful and luxurious fl oor to
be proud of.
Both are easy to clean and
without the porous qualities
of wood and some stone.
They bring the ageless beauty of natural fl ooring to your home without the hassle.
Be it a rustic wood effect in the living room or a sleek and modern stone effect in the
kitchen, Orchard Flooring can provide expert advice to fi nd the perfect fl oor for a room.
With a home sampling service why not give us a call and be on your way to a stunning fl oor
from Orchard Flooring.
