On Thursday the 24th of October at Cafe CHAOS in Truro get ready for a 24-hour marathon of CHAOS from 3PM.

Regular presenters, Firefighter Andrew Ayre, Firefighter John Wilkins and Firefighter James (Jimbo) Collins from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service will be taking on their biggest challenge to date staying on-air and entertaining listeners and viewers for 24 hours straight, raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity!

The firefighters have the first-hand experience and can help people realise how important it is for them to know what to do in the event of a fire, how to prevent a fire in the home, have working smoke alarms as well as night time routines and escape routes.

The CHAOS Group team will be hitting the road and visiting a number of locations across the county, undertaking a number of challenges and activities. Keep up to date via our Facebook and Twitter accounts for more news and to find out how you can tune in to the show.

Kathryn Billing, Temporary Assistant Chief Fire Officer said: "Within Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service we pride ourselves on innovation and allowing our fantastic people to use their unique skills and passion to drive innovative ideas to engage with our communities.

"I thought the Cornwall Take Over radio show was good, but wow I am immensely proud of our Service and this amazing 24 Hour Take Over community engagement event. Protection and Prevention is the work which is at the heart of our communities and we do this best when we are working with our supportive professional partners to make Cornwall safer.

"A huge thank you to Chaos for making this happen, thank you for the radio station, incredible support and professional skills. I am so excited I hope everyone tunes in and gets "on board" for this first-ever fire 24 hours take over the show!"

Babs Rounsevell, Director of The CHAOS Group, said: "We've heard many stories of unbelievable rescues by firefighters and individuals who have literally dedicated their lives to the service. What isn't well known is the essential Community Protection and Prevention work they do at the heart of our communities.

"I want all of Cornwall to be informed about what amazing, inspiring work the Fire brigade do when they are not putting out fires. Community means everybody and none understand this better than our boys and girls in blue! We're excited and honoured to be teaming up together and bring this exciting event to the wider community."
