On Friday, our cadets did something alittle different. They learnt about high rise fires.

To start of, cadets had ago at rolling a Cleveland coil. This is where traditional hose rolling is changed so that deployment of the hose can be quicker and easier to work with in limited space.

As this was a first attempt for many, the results were outstanding. Cadets were taught about how a hose incident would be sectioned and the different objectives to be completed in each.

We then had time to run a small high rise exercise to put it all into perspective.

Well done to all the cadets that attended.

This week, our cadets had a refresher on words or command that are used on the drill yard during activities.

Swiftly moving onto knots and lines.

The cadets also had the opportunity to discuss some table top scenarios.

Good effort from all!

On Friday, our cadets undertook some team building activities put on by our instructors.

These activities tested the cadets communication, teamwork, initiative, and creativity whilst most importantly, building bonds with each other to aid with drill yard activities.

Well done to all the cadets that participated.

A special mention to one of our instructors Owen for planning the night.
