Bolton Cadets

Written by Apprentice Business Safety Advisor Laura Broughton

Over the past few weeks I have been involved in organizing the new cadet unit at Bolton Central Fire Station. 12 Community Fire Cadet Units are set up throughout Greater Manchester with our Bolton unit making the 13th. Unlucky for some maybe, however I think I am truly lucky to be a part of this fantastic opportunity.
Our Cadets are now attending the Fire Station on a Tuesday evening. They seemed nervous in the first week but are now settling in, making friends and we are proud to have them as part of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service.

Over the next two years, I along with GMFRS volunteers will be training them to gain a Level 2 BETEC award. They will learn how to run hose drills and learning everything else that you need to know about what the Fire Service do.


I will be keeping you updated on their progress and would love to hear from anyone who is interested in becoming a cadet, anywhere in Greater Manchester.
