š 2024 Winter Games has come to an end but we are still celebrating the team success of our post.
Leadership should take pride in the success of others more than themselves.
Out of 48 other post we placed 3rd š„ in the Donning and Doffing drill as well as competed hard in many others.
Congratulations to all of the post cadets, instructors and volunteers who made this all possible.
We are looking forward to hosting the 2024 Summer Games next š!

Interested in becoming an ACFR Cadet?
The Alachua County Fire Rescue Cadet Program was designed as a youth outreach program that allows teens to experience life as a firefighter. Participants between the ages of 14 and 20 will gain valuable knowledge, training and skills that will help them succeed not only as future firefighters but throughout their personal lives. Cadets are required to complete and participate in a number of different assignments, training's and events on a monthly basis that will teach them personal accountability, discipline and respect for each other and the chain of command.
The program features training in fire suppression, first aid, CPR, apparatus use, emergency medical response, mitigation of hazardous materials and many other areas. Cadets are able to obtain some of the needed certifications that are required for employment in the fire service. Each Cadet will gain valuable experience in the responsibilities of first responderās through Ride-A-Longās on emergency calls with our experienced firefighters and paramedics.
Weekly meetings offer instruction and real-life experience alongside professional firefighters and rescue personnel. Cadets are evaluated monthly to keep track of progress in the program, to determine if they have the required High School GPA and are free of behavioral issues while in the program. All issues are discussed and a plan of action implemented for further participation in the program.
The fire service operates under a paramilitary design that our Fire Cadets will be expected to uphold. They will be held to a high standard and are responsible for their own actions.
