The South Trail Fire & Rescue Cadet program is open to young men and women from the age of 14 (and in high school) until the age of 21. The Fire Rescue Cadet program is a section of the Florida Fire Chief's Association.  

​

Since 1997 the South Trail Cadet program has provided area youths with an opportunity to learn about the fire service profession while having fun and making a contribution to the community. The cadets learn CPR and first aid, and participate in real-life training exercises, community events, field trips, and other related events.  Cadets can even participate in a ride-along program.  

​

One of the favorite activities for the cadets is the ride-along program, where Cadets can ride on emergency vehicles and have limited participation in real-life emergency calls such as medical calls and fires.  

​

The South Trail Fire & Rescue Cadets meet every Thursday from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., at Station 62, 13500 Sophomore Lane. For more information on the cadet program, please call the South Trail Fire Department at 239-433-0080, use the contact tab, or email Adam Angelson for more information.
