A group of youngsters have successfully completed an intense firefighters course.
The 11 pupils, aged 13 to 17, from schools in Epping showed off their firefighting skills during the 5-day 'Firebreak' course this month at Waltham Abbey Fire Station.
A 'Pass Out' Parade was held on March 7 whereby parents were invited to watch them display their skills and be awarded for their participation.
