Life lately 😌

Whilst some of our units are preparing to welcome lots of brand new Cadets as usual, some of our units are preparing for their pass out celebrations.

As the cadet year comes to a close for some its always wonderful to reflect on the hard work, dedication, and teamwork shown by all of our young people and Volunteer Instructors.

Well done everyone and enjoy your celebrations!

A very long day yesterday for some of our Cadets who travelled to The Emergency Services Show in Birmingham.

Cadets had the opportunity to see a wide range of exhibits from the emergency services sector and some exciting equipment demonstrations.

As well as exploring career opportunities and learning about specialist agencies, they got to take part in a variety of tabletop scenarios such as managing large incidents and road traffic collisions.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising our attendance and giving our young people a glimpse into the future of emergency response, and well done Cadets for representing London Fire Brigade so professionally.

On Thursday 23 July, Fire Cadets were invited to join the prestigious International Security Officers Day celebrations at The Dilly.

After a very successful International Women’s Day event with IPSA earlier this year, where our female officer cadets were exceptional, the organisers extended thua further invitation.

Cadets welcomed guests as the friendly uniformed face of young people at this iconic event.

Fire Cadets had front row seats to enjoy guest speakers, celebrations and awards presented to outstanding security professionals from both the UK and overseas, for dedicated service and exceptional ability.

A massive congratulations to all of our Cadets celebrating their pass out ceremonies recently!

These celebrations are a chance for our young people to reflect on everything they've learnt during their time with us, their personal growth, practical skills, and friendships built.

Families and friends were invited to see the culmination of all their hard work put into practice with some impressive drill displays.

We hope every Cadet feels as proud of themselves as we do!

It also wouldn't be a pass out without the biggest thanks going to our amazing teams of Volunteer Cadet Instructors across London. Their dedication is vital to the success of every unit.

Behind every great Fire Cadet is an ironing board and a tin of boot polish!

In a semi-disciplined service, having high standards is a reflection of our dedication and pride. Whether it's our pass out ceremonys in front of families and senior officers, or that first job interview, presenting yourself well will help you feel sharp and more confident.

Wishing the best of luck to all of our Cadets who pass out over the next few weeks, stay focused!

We've had a very busy weekend, but one of the highlights was supporting Heston White watch to raise an incredible £3,000 for the Fire Fighters Charity 🥳

Firefighters rowed the entire length of the Thames, which is 340km! A huge well done to all involved, including Blaze Bear who even contributed 13 miles!
