With the upcoming Fire Cadet Recruitment Day next week, we thought that we would take some time to go over what some of the curriculum for the summer long academy consists of to prepare them as a cadet.
Class #1 – History of the Fire Service / History of the FCFD
Class #2 – SCBA / PPE
Class #3 – Trucks and Tools
Class #4 – Hydrants / Appliances / Portable dump tank
Class #5 – Motor vehicle crashes and Hydraulic Tools
Class #6 – Auto Extrication Day
Class #7 – Portable Extinguishers / Reading Smoke
Class #8 – Search and Rescue
Class #9 – SCBA
Class #10 – Review for Final
Cadets and recruits meet almost weekly throughout the summer as a part of this program and are invited to all FCFD training to further their skills and build teamwork. With few exceptions, our cadets are not sitting in classrooms they are the majority of the time in a hands on environment learning not only life safety skills, but skills for LIFE! We are proud of the program that we have build at the Fredericktown Community Fire District, it is successful, growing, and already paying dividends in new firefighters in the community. If you’re interested in the program and in grades 9-12, get in touch with us today!
