‘An amazing wee team’: our 2025 hardworking Fireskills graduates

Nine young people are the latest to have graduated from Fireskills, a challenging 10-week programme aimed at preparing young people for action in their communities.   This year’s course in Orkney has been a partnership between Scottish Fire and Rescue and the Council’s Community Learning, Development and Employability service (CLDE) and Police Scotland.   The Fireskills Award is delivered in Orkney by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service personnel from the Stromness and Kirkwall stations, alongside youth workers from the Council who help them evidence their learning.    The Council’s Youth Services team, part of the wider CLDE service, supported and encouraged the young people throughout – working with KGS and Stromness Academy to recruit young people to the course. This comprehensive programme is designed to instil SFRS values and practical skills, covers a spectrum ranging from teamwork to crucial life saving techniques.    Throughout the course, young people immerse themselves in a transformative journey, not only acquiring firefighting skills but also honing in on respect, discipline, teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. It is the same holistic approach taken when preparing anyone for the demanding and crucial role of a firefighter.    The invaluable knowledge gained is not only essential for their roles as potential future firefighters, but something they can carry forward to their communities in everyday life.  Reaching the end of the Fireskills course is a testament to the commitment of individuals who take part – and requires real tenacity says SFRS Firefighter Jonathan Shearer who led Fireskills 2025 in Orkney.
