The Cadet West Initiative, part of the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Cadet Battalion, guides young adults in Belle Glade and surrounding communities toward careers in the fire service. Through practical fire service training, hands-on experience, and community engagement, we help cadets build essential skills, discipline, and leadership. Our supportive and inclusive environment prepares them to excel in their careers and serve their community with dedication and compassion.
