Our fire cadets met last week for their regular training at the firehouse. Training was led by Captain Smith and Firefighter Canter. The cadets worked on gear proficiency, proper protective gear donning, and time. Once they were warmed up the training turned to work with the forcible entry door. Paired up they worked to practice forcing the door with the “irons” and then advancement of a charged hose line into the structure.
The cadet program is open to high school students throughout the area and has been an extremely successful endeavor for recruitment here at the FCFD. Numerous past cadets still serve with the district or have gone on to continue their fire career with several departments. If you are interested in more information about the program, please contact us.
