YOUNG army cadets in Sidmouth got a treat when they were invited to the town’s fire station on Monday.
Nineteen youngsters visited the Woolbrook Road base, watched firefighters carry out a practice road traffic collision rescue exercise, and even got to don their gear.
Sidmouth Army Cadets Detachment Commander Adrian Smith hailed the visit as “brilliant.”
As part of their cadet syllabus, youngsters visit services in the community. They got safety briefings on Monday and learnt about the job town firefighters do.
