Naperville Fire Department Cadet Program

Today, Cadet Seth Kartheiser participated in a high-impact ride-along with Truck 7, where he demonstrated exceptional dedication and initiative.
Cadet Kartheiser sharpened his forcible entry skills through hands-on training with the department’s forcible entry prop. He then answered the call of duty on multiple emergency incidents, showcasing composure under pressure. In one particularly memorable response, he played a role in the rescue of several trapped baby ducklings, helping to safely extract the vulnerable animals from a hazardous situation.
Cadet Kartheiser continues to impress with his commitment, professionalism, and readiness to serve both people and animals in their time of need.
