2019 Junior Firefighter Program
The first day of the Junior Firefighter program was full of fun activities! The kids learned about the apparatuses that are used in our response vehicles, and even got to climb inside and see all the cool features up close. They were taught how to put on the bunker gear, and then teamed up and competed in a race to see who could do it the fastest! After wearing all that warm gear, our summer students hosted a game of Kings Court to cool everyone off, where each team had to work together using a fire hose to spray water at a ball and push it into the opponents net.
