The Reeves County Emergency Services District has launched a new Cadet Academy, marking the start of training for its latest group of recruits.
According to the district, 20 new hires were welcomed into the program, including 12 firefighter cadets and eight EMT cadets. The group will begin with two months of emergency medical technician training, building a foundation in patient care and emergency response. After completing that phase, firefighter cadets will continue with four additional months of fire academy instruction.
District officials said the program is designed for recruits with no prior experience, providing structured, hands-on training to prepare them for service in the community. Chief Lee personally welcomed the new cadets on their first day and addressed the class as they began their coursework.
The Cadet Academy reflects an ongoing investment in public safety staffing and professional development in Reeves County. By training new responders locally, the district aims to strengthen emergency services and ensure residents continue to receive timely, skilled care.
Officials expressed optimism about the class’s future, noting that the recruits represent the next generation of firefighters and EMTs who will serve the region in the years ahead.
