The Hueneme NJROTC cadets receive in-depth CERT fire safety and prevention training to build the skills and confidence needed to respond effectively during real-life emergencies. Throughout the training, cadets received instruction on the fire triangle, safety precautions, and the proper use of firefighting equipment.  They applied their knowledge and skills to put out a trash can fire. Working together as a team, they practiced the correct steps for operating a fire extinguisher, maintaining situational awareness, and communicating clearly to ensure everyone’s safety. The actual fire suppression challenged every cadet to remain calm and composed and to focus under pressure to take decisive action.  By participating in the hands-on exercise, the NJROTC cadets enhanced their emergency preparedness, leadership skills, and commitment to protecting themselves and others in critical situations.
