After 4 weeks of cadet camp the cadets did a final evolution Wednesday night. The cadets rode on the fire trucks around the station and worked as a crew on a simulated incident. The cadets put on breathing apparatus and pulled handlines. They connected to the fire hydrant to supply the engine. Senior firefighters worked side by side instructing them on different tasks.
