Youth Fire Academy

This academy is for students currently going into 7th or 8th grade in the fall of 2026. The Youth Fire Academy is a week long program put on by White Lake Township Firefighters with the dual effort of expanding knowledge of what the current fire service is, as well as providing an exciting and beneficial experience for the local youths. Each cadet will be provided with hands on experience with many of the tools, skills, and equipment utilized by the fire service. The goal is for the cadets to walk away from the program with at least a fun and informative memory, and at most a desire to pursue a career as a Firefighter. Each cadet will end this week with new, useful knowledge. Some souvenirs, as well as a CPR certification. Some of the experiences the cadets will see include, but are not limited to:Teamwork / LeadershipPhysical FitnessCritical ThinkingFire Suppression Tactics / Fire Ground OperationsVehicle Extrication (On real vehicles) Medical First aid / CPRLadder workVictim Removal
