Blaze of glory as youngsters celebrate Firebreak success
Young people from Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth will be celebrating their success this week after completing a 10-week action packed training course run by Warwickshire County Council’s Fire & Rescue Service!
The youngsters, aged 13 to 16, will face a blaze of glory at their passing out parade after successfully completing the Services ‘Firebreak’ course. The event will take place at Kenilworth fire station on Friday 14 March at 1pm.
‘Firebreak’ is an extremely successful youth education programme, which is run by fire fighters from Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Services, Youth Development Department. The courses are designed specifically for young people aged 13 to 16 who could benefit from a learning experience in a work-based environment, outside of school.
During the course, the students took part in a wide range of action-packed activities including orienteering, fire safety drills, abseiling, team building, driver safety, and first aid training.
Youth Development Officer, Moreno Francioso said:
“This is a real achievement for all of our young people. The course requires a lot of hard work and determination and all of those involved have put a 100% into every task. To succeed their targets and by completing the course they have shown that hard work and determination really does pay off!“
During the passing out parade, the students will give a demonstration of their work, followed by an inspection from Councillors and teachers. Those attending will then be presented with a Record of Achievement.
