Our Volunteer Fire Department has about 6 cadets. As cadets we do the same thing that the firefighters do, like go on fire calls. do traing with the fire deptment. Fire Department communication. Portable extinguishers. We also do smoke training where we put on the SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus)and simulate the conditions of a working fire and do search and rescue. We also do personal pertective equipment where we put on the fire helment, protective hoods, protective coats, trousers and foot protection we exercise with all of this protective equiment on to keep fit and trim. we also do fire hoses. This is where we learn how to drag, throw and hold the hose the right way. After we have done that we learn how to roll the hose in different ways like how do do a straight roll and a donut roll. As you can see we do a lot of things as cadets The only thing our cadets don't do is go on EMS calls and car accidents, and also we don't go close to structure fires. Cadets can go on structure fire but are limited to certain tasks. We also fill tanks for the SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus)when we are on scene of any structure when the firemen use the SCBA. All of our new Juniors are on a 6 month probation. After 1 month they will get their equipment. The members of the cadets are Andy Hollis, Bubby Farmer, Charles Vickery, Jimmy Warren, Tom French and the newest cadet is Mike Vitale.this pi c was sent to me by kristin
