MONTH ONE Day One: Meet the Fire Department Officers Fitness Program Team building MONTH TWO FITNESS PROGRAM CPR & AED WEEKEND ESSENTIALS BEGINS MONTH THREE FITNESS PROGRAM ESSENTIALS CONTINUED Program Goals The goals and objectives of this program are as follows. Tamarac Fire Rescue firmly believes that each child should have an opportunity to reach for his or her dreams. In Tamarac, we have found that there are a number of children between the ages of 13 and 17, who plan on pursuing careers in the fire service. This is an opportunity for young men and women, to see what the fire service is all about. Each cadet will have an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of fire fighting, as well as CPR, First Aid, Fire Ground Safety and Hazardous Materials. With a cadet program we have the opportunity to assist a great group of young eager men and women in becoming members of our Department or for careers in the Fire Service. More importantly this is a way for the Department to have a real impact in the process of educating and mentoring the cadets. Each cadet will be responsible for fulfilling a certain number of hours. Each cadet will have to complete a minimum of 10 hours a month, and attend a mandatory monthly meeting lead by Tamarac Fire Rescue personnel. The first Time these two requirements are not met a supervisor will address the situation with the cadet. In the event of a second occurrence the Cadet will be dismissed from the program. Cadets will have the opportunity to gain a real life experience working along side professionals in an active Fire Rescue Department. Tamarac Fire Rescue would like for both child and parent to be involved. Parents will be welcome to observe at any meeting or activity, but will not participate. The primary goal is to promote leadership among our youth the best way to promote leadership is to see leadership in action. What better way than with Tamarac Fire Rescue. " This program promotes good relations between the city and it's young residents. Requirements Each child will be required to fill out an application and write a short essay as to why they should be accepted into Tamarac Fire Rescue's Cadet Program. Each child will be required to complete a one-on-one interview with a panel made up of Tamarac Fire Rescue Staff. Parents will be encouraged to attend. Additionally each child will be asked to bring a recent report card to the initial meeting. During the interview a picture will be taken for the file of the child. A letter from a physician is required stating the child is able to participate actively. Parent and child must advise Fire Rescue of any limitations at the initial meeting. To participate in this program a child must be between the ages of 13 and 18 years of age. Each person that is chosen will have to undergo a physical agility -testing program at Tamarac Fire Rescue. Parts of the test will include climbing, running, lifting and endurance. This test will be similar to the entry level, requirements of many Fire Rescue agencies.
