A new group of students have celebrated their success at Haywards Heath Fire Station after completing the county’s Fire & Rescue Service’s FireBreak programme.

The families and friends of the students were invited to watch them take part in a Pass Out Parade following a week of training.

The students were able to complete two drills after spending the week learning skills such as hose running, fire safety, ladder climbs and wearing breathing apparatus.
