Cheshire Fire Cadets are currently looking to recruit volunteers to help run the Wilmslow unit.
With around 350 cadets, aged 12-17, in 24 locations in communities across the county, Cheshire Fire Cadets is the largest voluntary fire cadet scheme in the country.
The service currently has around 100 enthusiastic and committed adult volunteers who help to lead, guide and inspire the cadets, but they need more.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service Youth and Community Cohesion Manager, Nick Evans said: "If you spoke to any of our volunteer cadet staff they would tell you they do it because they love it. They enjoy the fun, friendship, action, adventure and practical activities the Fire Cadets provide. They also enjoy making a real difference to young people in their community – helping to inspire them to achieve formal qualifications, building their confidence, and encouraging them to think for themselves and to act for others.
"Joining Cheshire Fire Cadets is a great way to meet like-minded people and to have fun and, in return for your time and effort, you will get the chance to learn new skills, gain new qualifications and help develop your leadership potential."
There's no set profile for cadet volunteer staff and they don't have to have any fire service experience.
Nick added: "All I ask is that you are able to give up one evening a week. So if you want to do something really rewarding with your free time, that's local to you, then Cheshire Fire Cadets could be exactly what you're looking for. I know that once you've joined, you'll never look back and I look forward to welcoming you to the team."
