A new batch of firefighters have been officially enrolled into West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service after a taxing training course.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has formally welcomed 11 new wholetime (full-time) firefighters to the service following a Pass Out Parade at Horley Fire Station.

The Pass Out Parade was attended by proud friends, family members and future colleagues of the firefighters as their intensive 13-week training course culminated in the prestigious event.

The group were able to demonstrate some of their skills they’ve learnt which included carrying out a rescue from the fire station’s drill tower and performing a road traffic collision exercise, before being presented with certificates by the service’s Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Peter Rickard.
