Fire Cadets visit Urban Search and Rescue team

My name is callum and I am a cadet at Manchester central fire station. I have been going cadets for about 3 months and up to now it has been great. We have done many activity’s like car washes, selling hats at heaton park and visiting the Urban Search And Rescue Team at Whitehill Fire Station. At whitehill we did many activity’s and got told how their fire

engine works and all the equipment carried on it. We then took part in a search and rescue exercise where we were required to go in this dark place that was a tunnel especially used for search and rescue training sessions and find our way to the other side. After we had done that we got told to go back in and get any equipment off the fire truck to go and save the dummy... it was hard work but great fun!! I have really enjoyed the last three months and I would encourage loads of other young people to join.. its great :-)
