If this rule is true then what would happen to those stations who have got more then 5 or so cadets or even more then 10. It would be hard enough trying to find 5 co-ordinators just try to find enough for say 13-15 cadets

Well i got told about this new rule and since then we have been having trouble with cadets. Because we only had 1 leader turning up our cadet training time was shortend

Hi guys,
I've recently been told that the ratio of cadet leaders to cadets is: 2-leaders for every 1-cadet. Is this true  :? :?

Thanks guys!

With attending calls is it that the new firefighter is allowed to decide weather or not they go on the truck or do radio.

Or is it that if they get there as one of the first then that means that they are on the truck???

:| :| :|

In my brigade once you are 16 you can attend calls but not RCR's and MVA's.
Once you are 18 you can attend RCR'S and MVA'S.

When you turn 16 you get a pager and gear but it is kept in the same place as the cadets gear until you turn 18.

:wink: :wink:

Within cadets are you allowed to do your BFF1 before you are 16/becoming a firefighter???  :|.

Thanks, one last thing, if the burn does get out of control should it be better if the cadets were well out of the way and they just wait for someone to come and pick them up??? 8-)

The reason i was asking was because we might be have one in a few weeks time. Also if cadets do attend do they continue on with school work, they just sit in the truck or on the back. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

When we were going to have a burn off it was in school time, are cadets allowed to go and help?

When cadets do burn offs with firefighters does it mean that cadets just stay on the truck and watch?  :|

I do agree with that but it sometime depends on what your doing!

i was the only cadet but now we have 1 more because the others left and i was the only one left but i still enjoy it. We mostly do radio and truck checks but still go out on the trucks. :-)

It just means that us cadets with have to more radio then anything. We will still go out on the truck just not as much. :-o

With the cadets that i'm with we might be training with the firefighter because we only have 2 people turn up each week :cry:

should  cadets be training with firefighter

Hey i know i just started on this website but with the cadets that i'm in we might end up training with the firerys because we only have 2-3 cadets turn up each week. :|
