==History==
===Planes: Fire & Rescue===
In Planes: Fire & Rescue, Cad first appears checking on the people going into the Grand Fusel Lodge while Dusty Crophopper flies over it.
Later, he honks his horn and then arrives at the firefighters' base to tell Blade Ranger that one of his staff members had soaked fire retardant on two campers and their campfire that they made, which Dusty was responsible for it as he didn't know, apologizes, but Blade tells Cad that the team needs to train. However, Cad gets excited as soon as he sees Dusty, he mistakes him for Ripslinger at first, despite Ripslinger however, not even appearing in the film. He tells him that he is invited to the grand reopening party at his lodge the next day, along with that the Secretary of the Interior would be coming. He explains to Blade that a big party at his lodge would make for happy campers rather than spilling mud on people, but Blade tells him that he packs too many happy campers in the park and lodge. Cad tells him that he has Pulaski, a structural fire engine, to protect the lodge, to which Blade responds that it is not just all about protecting the lodge. As Blade continues talking, Lil' Dipper whispers to Dusty that Cad got the park service to save 80 percent of their budget to his lodge restoration project. As he leaves, he tells Blade that "Dusty Cropslinger's even more famous than you, Blazin' Blade!"
At the party, he greets the Secretary, who later asks how the park's wildlife population is. Cad replies that there will be plenty of party animals if people come to the party, and later states Ol' Jammer as a "bumper kisser." Later, he tells Dusty that he might get a promotion, but in the middle of the talk, he goes to talk to another famous guy named Boat Reynolds (a parody and spoof of Burt Reynolds).
The next day, while the firefighters are fighting a large forest fire which was caused when Cad's visiting VIPs flew too low and made air eddies that blew embers about, Blade tells Maru, the firefighters' mechanic, to report to Cad that the fire is about four hours away from the lodge and that the tourists will need to evacuate. However, Cad refuses to get everyone out of the lodge, saying that he won't evacuate at that moment since being the superintendent for five years.
Outside, when Cad gives a speech to the tourists and the Secretary about the grand reopening of the lodge, the lodge's concierge, André, is talking to Pulaski about the fire coming towards the lodge. Cad overhears them, pauses his speech, and argues with Pulaski on giving the speech, and even says that they're both saying the same thing when Pulaski keeps correcting him upon mispronouncing his name. Pulaski explains to Cad that the fire is getting closer to the lodge. André suggests to Cad that they should turn on the roof sprinklers, and Pulaski and Jammer tell Cad that they need to evacuate. After the Secretary tells Cad to let them see the plaque, Pulaski and Jammer argue that the fire will get worse, before Cad angrily insults them by saying that André is a glorified bellboy, Pulaski is an overpriced sprinkler, and Jammer is old and has a dumb hat, and says that he is the park superintendent and getting the moment of reopening his lodge, before coming back to the crowd, and revealing the lodge's sign before one of the tourists screams. Cad, at first, thinks that they are being rude until they mention the fire, which Cad then notices, and the tourists all drive away. As the guests sleeping inside the lodge exit, Cad tells them to calm down, saying that it is only a small fire, and that they should come back the following year.
As the fire gets close to the lodge, Cad tries to get some water to the lodge's roof sprinklers to keep it from burning but finds that he is not getting enough water. He orders André to switch the main water supply to them, but André explains that the firefighters need it to make their fire retardant. However, Cad refuses to listen, stating that he doesn't care, and switches the water supply himself, while André leaves with his luggage.
At the end of the film, Pulaski tells Dusty that "the sprinklers saved the lodge, but not Cad's job". He was replaced by Ranger Jammer in the credits, it is shown that he now works as a park ranger in Death Valley, appearing to be trying to get better at his attitude as he gives a welcome.
===Cad Spinner===
He appears in his very own short, titled "Cad Spinner" of the same name.
He does a narration about the sights of Piston Peak National Park. Only moments after he starts it, he lists everything in an unexciting way and focuses the viewers' attention on the Grand Fusel Lodge, where he sings a rap describing all of the lodge's features. Unimpressed with taking part in the song, Pulaski admits that he was only forced to take part so he would not get fired, while André tries to liven it up with beatboxing, but Cad disapproves of them both, adding that the beatboxing will frighten the kids. As Cad finishes the song with a message about coming to the park to visit the lodge, the guests all leave him on the roof as he demands for help to get him down.
==General information==
===Physical description===
Cad's design is a combination of a 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade's body, a mix of a 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade and a 2002-2006 GMC Envoy XL's greenhouse design, and a Pontiac/Lincoln-style grille design, although the takefiveaday.com site claims he somehow resembles a Lincoln Navigator. He even resembles both two generations of the also-fictional Albany Cavalcade from other media; the 2013 Rockstar action-adventure game Grand Theft Auto V (IV officially, only has the first generation). He could also be based on a 2007-2014 GMC Yukon Denali too as well. It is possible or could be true that "Cad Spinner" may be his model's own name. His license plate reads "SUPER1". He is painted like an off-white/cream, with the Piston Peak National Park logo on his doors when he was the park's superintendent before being fired, later having it being replaced with a logo for Death Valley National Park when he takes a job of being a park ranger. He has chrome rims, which are even shared identically with the 1998 Saxon GTSC and/or 2005 ABG P4700, which is Bob Cutlass' and Bruce Boxmann's model. The grille design could specifically resemble that of a Pontiac Torrent, and even a rotated version of the Mexico-exclusive only 2010-2014 Lincoln Mark LT.
=== Personality and traits===
Cad acts selfish, rude and greedy for caring about just the Grand Fusel Lodge and can get angry with people urging him to do the right thing, to which he may ignore their attempts. But at least he tries his best to impress the guests and famous people coming to his lodge and tells dirty cars to wash themselves so that the lodge would be clean.
According to Windlifter, he waxes himself daily.
