Cadet Program
Our Cadet Program is designed to foster individuals through the process of obtaining the minimum requirements to start a career in the fire service.
As a cadet, members spend their first 8 weeks going through our introductory program. Upon completion of the introductory program, individuals are enrolled in a fire academy while volunteering for the department. This allows our cadets to obtain hands on training while attending classes. In addition, Cadets are placed with a Field Training Officer to oversee their progress. This creates a successful platform to ensure the individuals are able to pass the tests to become a certified firefighter.
Our Cadet Program offers the training and tools to help individuals develop, grow, enhance and promote their future in the fire service.
