Cadets learn fire safety
Cadets were well prepared for Bonfire
Night after a visit to a local fire station.
Members of Theale Cadet Division visited Dee Road Fire Station
to learn more about fire awareness and the role of
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
The visit was organised to
support work that the
cadets have been doing relating to
fire prevention
and provided a
rare opportunity to look inside a
fire engine and understand the many responsibilities of fire men
and women which extend way beyond fighting fires.
The Cadets already have the knowledge to treat any accidents that they may come across on bonfire night, but now they have the fire safety awareness to go with it.

Peter Anderson, who accompanied the cadets to the fire station
said: 'It was amazing to see how much equipment is transported on a
fire engine and also how many different types of
emergencies the fire service attends. The Cadets already
have the knowledge to treat any accidents that they may come
across on bonfire nght, but they now have the fire
safety awareness to go with it. We would like to thank the
two members of the watch who were kind enough to show us around and
answer all of our questions.'
