Cranberry To Hold Teen Fire Cadet Academy
Teens will get to learn about firefighting from the Cranberry Volunteer Fire Company.
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — The Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company is preparing to launch its initial Fire Cadet Academy. The free program, to be held Aug. 2-6, is open to boys and girls ages 14-18 with an interest in eventually becoming firefighters or just wanting to know more about the job.
Participants will learn about fire safety, how apparatus and trucks function, and first-aid and CPR. They’ll also have hands-on experiences with equipment and gear and watch live demos by firefighters performing training exercises such as ladder rescues, vehicle incident scene management and working in low visibility.
Lunch and T-shirts will be provided. Participants should wear casual clothes with sneakers/closed shoes, as there are physical activity periods and games during each session.
