During his feature address at the graduation ceremony Acting Principal Youth Development Officer with the Ministry of Youth Affairs Ivor Worrell encouraged the fire cadets to show respect for the essential services. Mr. Worrell indicated that quite often persons showed disrespect to emergency service personnel while they are carrying out their duties. He expressed concern about the failure of many motorists to allow free traffic flow to emergency vehicles while enroute to emergencies.
Acting Chief Fire Officer Anthony Blackman while delivering the CFO's Address thanked the corporate sponsors for their financial support and encouraged other organisations to join in supporting the Fire Cadet Programme. The Fire Chief reminded those gathered of the numerous benefits of the five week training programme to the fire cadets and the community.
