Volunteer Application for the Cadet Program The Phoenix Fire Department Cadet Program was started in 1975. The purpose of the program is to provide cadets with hands-on emergency medical training, work experience at fire stations, training in firefighter skills and volunteerism for the community.Cadets are required to volunteer a minimum of 32 hours per quarter (every three months) to the department. This may be done in a variety of areas such as teaching CPR, helping at a fire station open house, public education events or the service van program. Cadets are responsible for staffing the service van, which provides customer service support such as non-emergency transport for behavioral health incidents. Once on-duty, cadets notify the battalion chiefs to be placed on the roll call. Field battalion chiefs and captains supervise the on-duty staff of cadets. The Cadet Program is a tremendous asset to the Phoenix Fire Department. More than $250,000 of annual volunteer service is provided to the community. It is also a great way to gain knowledge about the Phoenix Fire Department, learn the basic skills of a firefighter and get support, encouragement and insight in pursuing a career in the fire service. Current requirements to be eligible for the Cadet Program are:
