We went to a fire cadet demonstration at Bexhill fire station on the evening of Wednesday 17th December, and it was great to see new recruits being put through their paces. With money raised from various endeavours, quite a few cadets have been able to enter this program. We also learnt that Poppy, one of the Bexhill cadets we first saw in a 2023 demonstration, has now qualified and been accepted into Bexhill fire station as a firefighter - well done Poppy!

 

This fire cadet program is now available in more locations, the latest one being started in 2026 at Hastings.

 

It is great seeing young folk who are committed to both self-improvement and helping their local communities - Long may they continue!
