SWFRS Initial Training Cardiff Gate

The @SWTraumaNetwork are continuing their trauma training at our #Cardiff Gate Training Centre today. It’s been a great week to host you and over see the training packages you’ve been creating 🎥 🚒🚑

This week , we welcomed the @SWTraumaNetwork to our Training Centre at #Cardiff Gate We’re pleased to have been able to provide our facilities for the filming of their trauma training packages 🚑 🎥 We look forward to working together on future projects 🚒 #999Family

Today our latest recruits have been carrying out trauma care training. This will provide crews with the training required to deliver urgent care when casualties need it the most.

Today our latest recruits are on the drill ground taking part in High Volume Pump awareness training. This training enables crews to respond to major flooding and fire incidents

🚒 Crews from #Whitchurch, #Maindee, #Barry and #LlantwitMajor recently took part in a training exercise led by #Ely Station at @SWFRSCG 🚑 This involved working alongside partners from the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) of @WelshAmbulance 👀 Video coming soon!

🚒Last week , crews from #Aberbargoed attended a grass fire in #NewTredegar where they discovered a birds nest that had been destroyed. 🔥 Grass fires not only damage our landscape, but kill our wildlife too. 🚓 Please contact 101 if you have any information #DawnsGlaw

At midday, we will be taking part in a minute’s silence, honouring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice #FMD2021 #FirefighterMemorialDay

@SWFRSCG @WALES_HART Awesome opportunity to exercise alongside SWFRS. The first of many, so very beneficial. 🚑🚒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🔥

Earlier this week , our WDS 03/21 trainees carried out a multiagency exercise with @WALES_HART . During this exercise, breathing apparatus were used to simulate where casualty care was required in irrespirable atmosphere 🚒 🚑 #TeamSouthWales

The trainees will be taking on the massive challenge of running out and making up 600 lengths of 70mm hose for some great charities. 600 lengths 😳 we are immensely proud of our trainees as always. Please show your support. Many thanks. Scott. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/w…
