Our Mission
Our mission is to invest in the interests of
our high school aged youth. By taking on a
mentorship role in the lives of these young
people, Sierra Vista Fire & Medical Services
hopes to encourage positive character
growth while facilitating each cadet with the
experiences of firefighting and emergency
medical services. For those who remain
interested, the gap between high school and
Firefighter I & II, or EMT Basic college courses
can be eased so students will have a better
understanding of what lies ahead in those
educational fields.
Program Scope
This program encompasses the fields
of emergency medical service and fire
department roles in our community. Cadets
will get hands on experience with firefighter
protective gear, vehicle extrication, pulling
hose and other fire related environments.
They will be introduced to a variety of EMS
techniques. Cadets are given the opportunity
to earn a scholarship to be used for fire
and EMS college courses through a written
application process.
Schedule & Attendance
Classes meet for five days, Monday through
Friday from 0900 to 1400. Lunch and
refreshments will be provided. Attendance is
mandatory. Given the amount of material and
the time frame involved punctuality, personal
commitment, and participation are a must.
There is no make-up time. Cadets who miss
more than one class will be dismissed from the
program.
Please answer a few questions

a little better.
