There is an unusual new opportunity available for Lyle Community Schools students interested in exploring a career in emergency medical services or firefighting. The Lyle Volunteer Fire Department has developed a cadet program that will allow students who participate to earn Career and Technical Education (CTE) credits. The Fire Cadet program provides a realistic introduction to fire and medical services careers, including wildland firefighting and rescue training. Hazardous materials training will be limited to classroom training and students will not participate in some aspects of training, such as interior live fire extinguishment.
