A little rain last Saturday didn’t slow down the Susanville City Fire Cadets, who held their car wash in the bays of the Fire Hall on Main Street. A steady stream of vehicles paraded through the car wash and according to Fire Apparatus Engineer Zac Hoffman the turnout was larger than expected.
The event provided a great chance for the community to see the station up close and witness the teamwork and dedication of these local students.
All proceeds from the car wash are going towards a vital cause: sending these young men and women to the California Cadet Academy in Napa, CA. The Academy provides high school-aged students with intensive hands-on experience and exposure to careers in firefighting, law enforcement and emergency medical services.
Beyond technical training, the program fosters leadership, discipline and essential life skills that will benefit these cadets throughout their lives.
