The Orange City Cadet program is a youth based, educational program designed to introduce high school age students into the career field of fire and medical emergency services. The cadets assist the fire department and the city when requested. They participate in local fire competitions against other departments, attend training events at various training grounds, and learn what it is like to have a career as a firefighter.

Florida Association Fire Rescue Cadets’ Mission
The Mission of the Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association Fire Cadet Section is to provide fire departments with the necessary resources to sponsor youth programs that will develop future firefighters and emergency medical providers. The section is dedicated to “Home Growing Our Own” by ensuring the leaders of each program have the resources to provide purposeful training in fire, emergency medicine, and leadership development. The goal for each sponsoring fire department is to provide a program that will provide the youth of their communities an opportunity to become mature young adults with good leadership and decision making skills.
