Fire Cadets Manchester - Community Activities


Hi all,

My name is Alex I am 15 years old and I’m a Fire Cadet at S16 Manchester Central.
As Fire Cadets we do different events with Greater Manchester Fire Service, we did an event at the Velodrome at Eastland’s. At this event we asked different members of the public if they had smoke alarms in their house, and if they knew their escape route if they had a fire, if they didn't have smoke alarms we offered them a free Home Fire safety check. We also sold pink and yellow helmets for children to wear, the money we collected from the helmet selling we gave to two charities, one was called Manchester Burn’s Camp and the other one was called The Fire Fighter’s Charity.
We also did the St Georges Day Parade. We got to meet a lot of new people as well as offer Fire Safety advice to members of the public. We also raised money for Help for Heroes. It was a good day and everyone had fun.

We are also planning more events for the future to help out in the community.
