JLBC FIRE/RESCUE CADET PROGRAM "Discipline and Respect"
JLBC MISSION STATEMENT
The JLBC Volunteer Fire Department (JLBC VFD) Fire/Rescue JLBC Cadet Program has been developed to instill in each JLBC Cadet a sense of character, confidence, and self-esteem. The JLBC program will also teach fire/rescue skills, self-discipline, and respect. This JLBC program is free and targeted to the age group of 10 to 16-year-old candidates. JLBC Cadets will participate in fire prevention, control, and emergency medical services training. The JLBC program will include formal training supplemented by field trips and developmental assignments.

Upon being voted into the JLBC program, all JLBC Cadets will serve a probationary period of 6 months. Suppose a probationary JLBC Cadet violates any of the JLBC program policies. In that case, their probationary period will be extended an additional month for a first offense. It may result in more severe departmental disciplinary action if other crimes occur.
