Fire Employment Opportunities
The Braidwood Fire Dept. accepts applications to apply for cadet status, or probationary status. Any individual between the ages 15-18 still currently enrolled in high school will be placed on cadet status. Cadet status lasts until the completion of high school as well as reaching the age 18. Cadets are required to train, and are involved just as any member of the dept. The cadet will ride out to a fire call with the chief in the command vehicle. Upon their arrival on scene, a cadet is to learn and assist the crew at their request. Upon completion of cadet status, the individual would then be promoted to a probationary member. Probationary membership lasts for one year. Any individual already graduated from high school seeking membership, will be immediately placed on probationary status. Once the 1 year probationary period has been completed, the membership votes on promoting the individual from probationary membership to regular membership.
