Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue’s latest group of recruits have successfully completed 32 days of intensive training.
The group of eight new on-call firefighters have completed their training at the Waddington Training Centre near Lincoln, and will now join fire crews at stations across the county.
During the pass out parade, held on Sunday, November 27 at Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue HQ, the newly qualified firefighters showcased their skills and techniques by undertaking a practice drill before being presented with their certificates.
Nick Borrill, chief fire officer at Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, said: “Our intensive training course is designed to ensure recruits are prepared for the demands of being a modern firefighter and are able to start work at their stations and serve their area right away.
“The course covers many topics, including: firefighter basic skills, ladder and pump drills, working from heights, road traffic collisions, occupational first aid, legislation and health and safety.
“We are delighted to welcome them to Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue and wish them all the best for the future.”
Councillor Nick Worth, executive member for fire and rescue at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “I would like to wish the new recruits all the very best as they embark on their new career with Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue and personally congratulate them on passing the comprehensive training programme to become a retained firefighter.”

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
