During the sessions they given firefighter uniforms to wear and take part in various activities including learning first aid, hose work and how to rescue people from a smoke filled room.
Andrew Sheldrick, fire liaison officer who ran the course, said: “The students worked well together as a team and their ability to overcome problems was a major factor in them achieving all the tasks assigned to them.”
