Membership is essential. Please do not just turn up at the Fire Station. To apply please contact us. The Coventry Fire Cadets is a youth branch of the West Midlands Fire Service, and is open to all young people within the community, regardless of gender, physical ability, race, culture, or sexual orientation. We insist that all of our Young Firefighters are treated as equals, and feel truly welcom
ed into our community. Coventry Fire Cadets first began back in 1989 with approximately 20 members and 5 volunteer Instructors. The branch has since expanded to accommodate up to 76 young people, with around 23 voluntary Instructors and 5 Fire-fighters. As a youth organisation we aim to raise fire awareness within the community and teach young people basic life skills such as; showing respect for others, self discipline, social skills, basic first aid, various firefighting techniques, and most importantly... how to have fun! In 2011 we were nominated to attend the West Midlands Fire Service Aspire Awards 2011, where we were presented with an award for 'Outstanding Contribution to the West Midlands Fire Service'.
