Yesterday, almost 100 CFS cadets and cadet leaders from across Region 1 came together for some learnings and some fun.
Around half the cadets headed to the CFS State Training Centre (STC) at Brukunga, to learn about what the training centre does - the facilities, equipment and staff, and going hands on with some of the equipment, including hydraulic Road Crash Rescue (RCR) tools, learning about fire indicator panels (FIP) & hydrant boosters and the 'boom' box - a training aid to demonstrate flammability limits and what can happen when you introduce air to a fire.
The other half (which included our Cadets) of the group headed to 'Adelaide Fire' - the MFS call receipt & dispatch centre, to learn about what happens from when an emergency call is received, and how it to gets to a CFS brigade. They were able to put through their own jobs in a training environment as well!
That was the morning complete.
Cadets then travelled to The Beachouse at Glenelg for lunch and two hours of activities there.
Each cadet & cadet leader were given a special CFS cadet beanie to commemorate the occasion!
