A resident at HC-One’s Acorn Hollow Care Home in Lostock Gralam, Northwich, Cheshire, enjoyed a nostalgic trip to a Northwich fire station after serving as a firefighter for 31-years.
Fred Cash, resident at Acorn Hollow, served at Knutsford Fire Station for 31-years. During his time as a firefighter, Fred covered other stations in Cheshire, Altrincham, Stockport, Sale, and Manchester.
Fred lived in a fire service house with his family throughout his service. Acorn Hollow colleagues helped coordinate a day out for the former firefighter and he was privileged to look around Northwich Fire Station.
This day out was a nostalgic experience for Fred, who enjoyed seeing how things have changed over the years. As a firefighter, Fred enjoyed doing a good job for those in the community and saving lives during hectic situations.
Rachel Astles, HC-One's Acorn Hollow Care Home Manager, said:
“Fred had been reminiscing about his past and we contacted the fire brigade to see if we could arrange a surprise visit for him! He absolutely loved it and told me how much it had all changed since he was a fireman.”
Fred Cash, HC-One's Acorn Hollow resident, stated:
“My visit to Northwich Fire Station brought back lots of good memories from when I worked for the fire service. I loved the day out!”
