That’s the goal of the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company’s Fire Cadet Academy. Set for July 29- August 2, 2024, the program is open to boys and girls ages 14-18 who want to one day become firefighters – or just want to know more about the job. They do not need to live in Cranberry Township. We will push the cadets to join their local fire department! Participants will learn about fire operations, how apparatus and trucks function, and first-aid and CPR. They’ll also have hands-on experiences with equipment and gear and performing various training exercises, including ladder rescues, vehicle incident scene management and working in low visibility. Lunch and T shirts are provided. There is no cost to participate. Participants should wear casual clothes with sneakers/closed shoes, as there are physical activity periods and games during each session. Sign up now by clicking the link.
