Demonstrations and simulated fires proved a hit for Kirkcudbright’s emergency services day.
Representatives from organisations ranging from the police and fire service to Galloway Mountain Rescue all took part in the day, held in Harbour Square.
Organiser Mike Merry said: “It was a very successful day – the weather was fine and everything went down well. Galloway Mountain Rescue did a demonstration on casualty recovery and the fire brigade did a simulated ship fire on Mytilus, one of the boats in the harbour.
Other attractions included, the specialised search dog team from Annan, the Coastguard, staff from the MOD range at Dundrennan, the air ambulance, the Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists and the roads policing unit talking to people about tyre tread depth and other traffic issues.
