Volunteer Cadet Academy:
 Firefighting is the third most dangerous job in America (right behind offshore underwater welding and being the President). Whether paid or volunteer, fire is still fire --- dangerous. We believe every person in the Buda Fire Department must be trained to a very high level. In fact, we believe it so much that we ask every new member to go through our Cadet Academy.

Be warned though: The Cadet Academy is not for just anyone. There is a textbook, so you got to read. There are quizzes, so you got to study. There is fire, so you will sweat. There is equipment to be cleaned, policies to learn, ladders to climb, hose to roll, etc. And, it's a job you can't do alone --- so you must be a team player.

  Being a firefighter also means emergency medical training as well. By the end of cadet school you will be certified by the Texas Department of State Health Services as an Emergency Care Attendant and by the State Fireman and Fire Marshal's Association as Basic volunteer firefighter.

Academy starts Monday evening, February 12th.
