Young Firefighters Association (YFA)
The Young Firefighters Association (YFA) is a uniformed youth organisation which is run by volunteers.
When the Young Firefighters first join, they are put though a 13-week basic training course. After this they take part in a passing out parade. This is a chance to show the skills that they have learnt to friends, family, local dignitaries and senior Fire Service officers. At their passing out parade, the Young Firefighters, who are aged between 13 and 17, are awarded their passing out certificate. From then onwards they are trained in greater detail in preparation for more complex drills. There is also the opportunity to take part in additional activities - for example: summer camp including activities such as rock climbing, caving, mountain biking, team building, bridge building, raft building, kayaking and canoeing.
