Week three for our #OnCallFirefighter initial course. They started out early in the cold with some ladder drills. A big thank you to @NFRS_Training for the hard work getting them all this far. ๐
Thanks to #TeamWarsop who are supporting @NFRS_Training and us with a water relay drill. We are testing and assessing the progress of our on-call firefighters who have reached their 12 month milestone.

We will remember them.
WT trainees have been working together and getting creative with equipment to show their respects to the fallen.

Some of our On call Firefighters took part in a pass out parade this evening.
They got to showcase their skills and professionalism to their friends and families.
We thank them for their hard work and dedication to their communities and wish them luck in their future careers
Operational awareness for our new apprentice firefighters today and tomorrow. A key part of putting all the pieces of the puzzle together in realistic scenarios, and if it couldnโt get any better, itโs raining. @nottsfire@NFRS_Training

We are sad to be losing CM Charters as another one of our highly experienced, knowledgeable and well respected trainers.
We wish him all the best in his retirement...but also look forward to seeing him in the firehouse for his OnCall BA refreshers ๐คญ๐ฅ๐๐
CM Darren โDazโ Charters is (semi) retiring!
After 28 years service- the last 4.5 in Operational Training Daz is semi hanging up his fire gloves.
He retires from his Wholetime role, but will continue to proudly serve his local community, On Call at Newark.
All the best!
Day 1 of BA module for WT01/23
Exercise Confidence
Trainees experience how hard u can work in BA to give them confidence in their sets. They realised that the working duration of a cylinder can be enough to achieve alot of progress.

WT01/23's week concludes with some final composites to sharpen up fireground skills before 3weeks of BA!๐ฅ
They worked hard under the eagle eyes of our very own Chief Fire Officer who was reminiscing about his time on the drill ground rolling hose!
