Firefighter Cadet

The Braidwood Fire Dept. accepts applications for cadet status. Any individual between the ages 15-18 still currently enrolled in high school will be placed on cadet status. Cadet status lasts until the completion of high school as well as reaching the age 18. Cadets are required to train, and are involved just as any member of the dept. The cadet will ride out to a fire call with the chief in the command vehicle. Upon their arrival on scene, a cadet is to learn and assist the crew at their request. Upon completion of cadet status, the individual would then be promoted to a probationary member.

To obtain an application, please download the application form. Print a copy, fill it out and please drop it off at the fire station during normal business hours.

Requirements: Age 15-18, currently enrolled in high school
