Just over a year ago Steve’s father, Garth, died. Garth was a firefighter for thirty-three years and Steve, his brother, 
and their friends wanted to do something to remember him. 
Part 2: Ben’s experience 
Ben is a friend of Steve’s, and a member of the Follow That Fire Engine crew. 
We decided to drive a fire engine around the world to raise money for three charities, UK charities, and also to do 
something in Garth’s memory because he was a very, very special person and he was also a leading firefighter for our 
fire station in our home town.
There are eight stages in their journey around the world.
I was very lucky in a way because I was on stage one. And stage one left London on July… Sunday, July 18 and then 
for two weeks we drove the fire engine from London, through Europe, and finally finished in Moscow in Russia, on 1 
August. I think we travelled through sixteen countries in fourteen days, which was quite, it was quite an achievement.
 
I’m very excited because I’m going to be joining the fire engine again on stage seven of the expedition in January next 
year. I’m going to be joining, or arriving at a place called Grays Harbor in North America, which is approximately 
100 miles from the Canadian border.
 
I’m going to be travelling from Grays Harbor in North American down the west coast of America. Through cities such 
as Las Vegas, through San Francisco, through Los Angeles, and California, and I’m going to be travelling through 
the Mexican border and finishing in Hermocillo. 
 
I’m really looking forward to going to San Francisco, because I think driving the fire engine across the Golden Gate 
Bridge will be pretty amazing.
