Tonight Alan Drummond from Tawa Volunteer Fire Brigade came along to the unit to demonstrate some fire fighting equipment and teach the cadets some basic fire response drills – get down, get out and call 111! The ‘hands on’ run out a hose from a stand pipe tested dexterity and led to a few comedic moments, and some of the cadets couldn’t help but run through the water jet once the water was turned on! Dried off and changed, the more serious details of fire safety were explained to the cadets after the sun had set in the classroom. Thanks to Alan and Tawa Fire Service for a entertaining and alternative evening.
