A CITY'S fire station became a hive of activity at the weekend as it admitted thousands of people for an open day.
One of the hits at the event staged at Durham Fire Station was firefighter and former Big Brother favourite Jonny Regan, who had his hands full signing autographs.
Station commander Peter Bancroft said: "It was a very successful day. We have had a large crowd of people passing through the doors."
The event included a tombola, cake stalls, and various displays. A miniature fire engine, Dennis, provided children with rides throughout the day.
Money raised through the event will go to the Fire Service Benevolent Fund and local charities.
