FireBreak triumph for lucky 13
Thirteen young people graduated from a 10-week FireBreak course held at Crawley Fire Station.
They demonstrated to family and friends a range of new skills gained on the course, which is led by local firefighters.
The scheme offers young people the opportunity to take part in a learning experience outside the school environment.
Students attend a Fire Station for one day per week over the course of the programme, taking part in a structured, disciplined programme of events, which combines practical training with classroom-based workshops.
Students are encouraged to develop personal and social skills by taking part in fire service drills, a variety of individual challenges and team building activities.
