firefighters in Sunderland will celebrate their achievements at a special awards ceremony on 23 February.
Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service will be handing out awards to young firefighters who have shown outstanding commitment in their work. There will be four awards presented for:
* Young Firefighter of the Year
* Young Crew Manager of the Year
* Most Improved Young Firefighter of the Year
* Most Dedicated Young Firefigher of the Year.
Young Firefighters Association (YFA) Instructor Peter Ahmed, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, said: "We are always impressed by the behaviour and commitment of our young firefighters and these awards are a way for us to celebrate their achievements, and the skills and knowledge they have acquired through their membership of the Young Firefighters Association."
The awards will be presented by his Right Worshipful Mayor Councillor Dennis Richardson, and will be followed by a practical demonstration by the young firefighters carrying out fire drills.
The YFA provides training and development opportunities for 11 to 17-year-olds through Fire and Rescue Service related activities. Members of the YFA are encouraged to become more responsible, safer and caring members of their communities. Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service has ten YFA branches throughout Tyne and Wear.
