Get a LIFE

The Mayor of Broxbourne, Cllr Mrs Lynn White, Cty Cllrs Dave Hewitt, Terry Price and Chris Mitchell applauded graudates of LIFE as they strode onto the parade ground: standing proud in their personal protection equipment as their parents looked on.

Roy Wilsher, Chief Fire Officer, Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service inspected the graduates of the Fire & Rescue Service's Local Intervention Fire Education programme at Cheshunt Fire Station.

Graduates then swiftly responded to commands and carried out impressive team tasks without a moment's hesitiation, putting out a house and a car fire in six minutes flat.

Management and maintenance of a fire engine, firefighting equipment and the fire station is a huge responsibility likewise workshops on fire safety, first aid and the consequences of making hoax calls and starting fires deliberately.

LIFE graduates had adopted a new set of values in one week, it was plain to see their co-operation, confidence and good communication skills.

Left behind them a history of offending or anti-social behaviour.

Let's hear it for our Cheshunt Fire Station Brigade and the LIFE graduates !!

Hugely well done !!
