Camp Fahrenheit on Long Island
From putting out fires to climbing ladders, a summer camp on Long Island is training the first responders of the future.
LONG ISLAND - Heavy smoke, engulfing flames, a sense of urgency.
"To me it’s worth the sacrifice because I’m saving lives, which is the whole point of it," said 16-year-old Isaiah Defreitas from Hewlett, Long Island. He knows being a firefighter can be dangerous and risky, but he’s all in. Isaiah and about 30 other teens are participating in a free program called Camp Fahrenheit in Old Bethpage.
