Fire Cadets

Branches of the Fire Cadets operate at a number of South Yorkshire's fire stations. Recruits can join the Fire Cadets from the age of 13 up to the age of 17, with some even progressing to become instructors themselves. Spending one evening a week at stations across South Yorkshire, the youngsters are put through their paces by a team of dedicated instructors. Recruits learn firefighting skills and techniques, and also spend time away from the station on team-building exercises.

The programme aims to educate, raise awareness and provide practical work-based learning opportunities for young people.
