"We would welcome the public to come to the rally and enjoy this glimpse into the past and entertainment from the present."

Vintage and modern fire appliances and other vehicles will be on display at the event. Other attractions include:

* Demonstrations of the 1908 St Giles Steam Pump drawn by two Percheron horses

* Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service Ceremonial Unit

* Steam engine rides

* Children's rides and entertainment

* Fair organs

There will be a sneak preview of the vehicles on Saturday 27 June, at approximately 6.30pm, when the Vintage Vehicle Road Run starts at Escot Park and leads onto the Ironbridge off the old A30 to finish up at the Greyhound pub at Fenny Bridges. A trophy, sponsored by Mr and Mrs T Abbot of Abbots DIY, will be awarded for the best vehicle in the Road Run.
