| What is Warwickshire Young Firefighters Association (YFA)? |  | ||
| Warwickshire YFA gives young people aged between 11 and 17 the opportunity to get involved in activities and projects in a fire service setting. | | ||
The first Young Firefighter branch was piloted in Warwickshire in 1997 at Bedworth Fire Station. Since that time it has gone from strength to strength and there are now 9 branches throughout the County. Each Branch of the YFA holds a drill night at the local fire station to which they are attached, held in the evening and normally for about 2 hours per week. Currently there are over 250 Young Firefighters and more than 80 Instructional staff, with branches running at: | |||
