How To Use
This session plan provides the details needed to successfully deliver this session to the Fire Cadets. Check the resources list on the plan to ensure that you have everything that is needed for the session. If possible, ask a colleague (Firefighter or Control Operator) with long service or a retired colleague to attend and give their personal experience of change. A visit to a fire museum and/or a control room would also greatly enhance this unit.
