Firefighter Jacob Prescott will be joining his colleagues in Bath helping to keep the local community safe.

To mark the end of the recruits’ course, an official ceremony was held at Avon Fire & Rescue Service’s training centre at Severn Park, Avonmouth.

A cohort of ten trainee firefighters showcased their newly learned skills during the event, demonstrating the training they have acquired throughout their rigorous firefighting course.

AF&RS Chief Fire Officer Simon Shilton said: “I’m thrilled to be welcoming ten new firefighters into our Service who are committed to making a difference in their communities.

“I hope that each of you will enjoy long and happy careers as firefighters. Thank you for all your work so far.

“It’s great to see the future of Avon Fire and Rescue Service being secured with new talent and skills to deliver our services to the community.”
