A group of S3 pupils recently completed the Fire Reach programme which offers young people training and development opportunities through taking part in fire service related activities. The all female group spent a week participating in a wide ranging programme of community safety initiatives including: team-working and team-leading, citizenship, and basic first aid, all of which gave them an insight into what it means to be a firefighter. A huge well done to each of the girls who displayed a high level of confidence and team-work over the five day programme. The girls were presented with a Fire Reach certificate at their graduation on the final day.

Brilliant afternoon at @fire_scot in Coatbridge watching @braidhurst & @DalzielHigh girls graduate from their week at Fire Reach. It was fantastic to see great levels of confidence and teamwork throughout their display 🔥👩🏼‍🚒 @nlcpeople pic.twitter.com/gStrDqdJQj
