Manchester Fire Cadets

Greetings from all at the Manchester Fire Cadet units..

We have now finished our summer leave from Cadets and are now back in on stations once a week for drill night. Since coming back we have been very busy doing ladders, knots and lines and hose running.. which has been great as we have been able to spray each other with water to cool us down in this summer weather :-) :-)

The next few months we are also busy working towards the completion of our BTEC Award at Manchester Central and starting our BTEC certificate, we are also very much looking forward to visiting our colleagues at Whitehill Fire Station where our Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR) are based. The USAR team are there to respond to various major incidents and have been overseas to various countries including Haiti to assist with rescue operations.

We are also planning to raise money for charity this month and have decided to do bag packing at Asda this will be to raise money for the Family of Firefighter Stephen Hunt who tragically lost his life whilst attending a fire in Oldham Street, Manchester on the 13th July 2013.
Money raised from the bag packing will also go towards a charity that Blackley Fire Station are involved in which will see a few firefighters from Blackley going abroad to help others in need.

So.... a busy, busy few weeks
