Junior Firefighter Program
The McAdoo Fire
Company Junior Firefigters are an important part of our organization. The junior
program consists of young adults between the ages of 14 and 18 who assist the
fire company on all incidents. This means that training and drills for them is
just as mandatory and important. The program builds character and confidence in
these young adults and hopefully gives them a sense of commitment and
responsibility to our community.
Please contact us if you are interested in joining this worthwhile program, call
