JUNIOR SQUAD

For many years Davis Corner sponsored a Junior Squad, 16– and 17– year-olds, male and female, who took basic first aid and fire suppression training.  They were permitted to run as a “third” on an ambulance crew but were not allowed to respond on certain types of calls such as maternities and cardiac arrests. 

Junior Squad members were not permitted in the station after 11 p.m. and were required to maintain at least a “C” average in all their school subjects.  Juniors presented the Chief with their report cards and those whose grades were not satisfactory were suspended for the following grading period.  If the grades did not improve, the junior member was removed from the roll.
