THE SALAMANDER | AUGUST 2016

On Thursday 7th April, Master Ron Murray

attended the passing-out parade at Maldon

Fire Station in Essex of the latest Fire-Break

squad to be trained there, all youngsters

being supported by the Downs Syndrome

Association. An exciting drill and fire fighting

display showed what the youngsters had

learned on their course, much to the delight of

parents and helpers.

The WCoFF supports the work being done

by the Essex Firebreak team, aimed at giving

students confidence to develop vital life skills,

while experiencing the techniques used by fire-

fighters in their working lives. The scheme is

incredibly diverse, and has been successfully

used for those on the gifted and talented

register, as well as a confidence-building tool

for those with a history of youth offending,

school exclusion, or associated disruptive

behaviour or backgrounds.

This unique scheme has seen outstanding

results in successfully engaging with children

and young people throughout Essex.

As in previous years theWorshipful Company of

Firefighters had a stand at FIREX International

which was held at Excel London 21-23 June

2016.

FIREX International connects the global fire

and security markets, and gives fire and

security professionals access to the very latest

technology from suppliers across the world,

plus the cutting-edge solutions and essential

knowledge you need to ensure life safety.

During this three day event we networked with

our friends within the fire industry and informed

visitors and delegates not only about our Livery

Company but promoted the Livery movement

as a whole. Information was exchanged

between a number of interested people with

further information being forwarded on to them.

Company Volunteers manned the stand and

we would like to thank all of these members

for taking the time to assist the Company and

a special thank you to UBM for giving us the

abilty to do so.
