Chandler Fire Cadets is a developmental program designed to assist young men and women interested in a possible career in the fire service. It is open to any individual at least 14 years of age and no more than 25 years of age. Cadets get a wealth of instruction and opportunities to learn and perform duties commonly demonstrated within the firefighting profession.
To become a Fire Cadet, candidates must complete Chandler’s Fire Cadet Academy to become certified to ride with fire crews and operate with them.
Cadets meet the third Wednesday of each month from 6 to 10 p.m., and the first and last Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon at the Chandler Fire Training Center.
Contact Battalion Chief Norm Germaine (norman.germaine@chandleraz.gov) at 480-782-2120 to join the Chandler Fire Cadets.
“The Fire Cadet program is a great experience for young men and women
who will accept the challenge to become stronger, both mentally and physically.
They will learn what it takes to be a member of the Chandler Fire Department,
and we will find out if they have the commitment, work ethic,
perseverance and teamwork that’s required.”

Fire Cadet Academy
The Chandler Fire Department will conduct a Fire Cadet Academy from April 27 to June 29, 2013. The academy is open to any individual at least 14 years of age and up to 25 years of age. During the Cadet Academy the candidates will meet every Wednesday from 6 to 10 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will be a similar curriculum as the regular Fire Academy. It will include elements of physical fitness, teamwork, personal development, and more. There is a $100 application fee to attend the Academy, plus some uniform costs. If a candidate drops from the program within the first two weeks they will receive a full refund of their application fee. If a candidate cannot afford the application fee or uniform fees, scholarships are available by calling the Cadet Program Manager Battalion Chief Norm Germaine (norman.germaine@chandleraz.gov) at 480-782-2120.
