Aldinga Beach Cadets
Aldinga beach CFS runs the biggest Cadet program within Kyeema
Group.
If you are interested in
learning, having lots of fun and making some really great friends that you will
have for life then the CFS Cadets are ready for you to join us!
The Aldinga CFS brigade
regularly accepts applications from young men and women between the ages of 11
and 16 for our cadet program.
Cadets train every
Thursday night between 1845 (6.45pm) and 2100 (9.00pm) at the Aldinga Beach Fire
Station. All cadets are issued with boots, protective clothing, helmets and
gloves at no cost. In fact the only cost you will have to pay is for a CFS
T-Shirt which is yours to keep.
As a CFS cadet you will
be trained by qualified and experienced volunteer firefighters in:
-
Firefighting skills;
-
Using fire hydrants and
hoses;
-
Using ladders;
-
Fire extinguishers;
-
Search and rescue;
-
Using CFS radios;
-
Map reading;
-
Basic first aid;
-
Cadets will be trained in
everything that you will need to know to become a Firefighter
Cadets are given the opportunity
to participate in a Basic Firefighter 1 training course, this ensures they meet
the minimum level of training required for them to become full firefighters when
they turn sixteen years of age.
Successfully completing a Basic
Firefighter course also allows students to gain credits on their S.A.C.E. at
high school.
