Thirty-five young women between the ages of 16 and 21 attended the camp, which was led by professional fire fighters from multiple agencies across the west coast. Camp attendees came from as far away as Seattle and Tacoma, Washington and Detroit, Michigan.
The camp’s mission is to recruit women to consider a rewarding fire service career. It is designed to instill confidence and build teamwork skills through hands-on firefighter training. The camp itinerary consisted of various stations and scenarios each day such as taking hydrants, hose practices, controlling nozzles, standpipe evolutions, rope operations, ladders, search and rescue, vehicle extrication, forcible entry, emergency medical skills, nutrition, physical fitness, and interview techniques.
