The H.S.S.P  Fire Cadet Program is an important outreach to the community. Program participation provides high school students an opportunity to gain an introduction and exposure to the fire service profession. For some this experience may be the foundation to a future career, but that desire is not a requirement for participation.  This is a work exposure program with the intent to couple education with exposure.
The depth of the experience and extent of instruction will depend on the desire and commitment of the student. We want our Cadets to be enthused about their position and engage with company members to create a great experience.
Our company officers and personnel will assure two things to our Cadets;

•  Provide for a meaningful education and work experience exposure to occupational situations
•  Provide for the safety of the student in training and emergency environments. In all cases the safety and welfare of the student is to be the first consideration.
