Lisburn based charity Air Ambulance Northern Ireland is holding an exhilarating firewalk event on the evening of Friday, March 28, 2025, at the historic Stormont grounds in Belfast.

Generously sponsored by Scotts Fuels, this unique event gives you the opportunity for 100 people to walk across 15 feet of fiery coals while supporting the essential air ambulance service.

For those unfamiliar with a firewalk, it is a unique experience focused on challenge, empowerment, and personal growth. It starts with a one-hour training session on walking across hot coals, which can reach temperatures up to 500c.

Professional firewalk facilitators will build a fire of hard wood logs, which burn down to produce embers, they are then raked down and the fire walk is ready.
