SFD starting youth program as recruitment tool Program targets 14-18-year-olds for fire safety training, community involvement Charles Yarbrough
Cameron Lockridge became a firefighter with Starkville Fire Department at age 21.
After a few years of college, he decided firefighting was the career path for him. He joined SFD in January, and Lockridge said it was the best decision he’s ever made.
“I’ve never experienced something like this before,” Lockridge said. “I’ve learned a lot and over time I’ve grown as a man, mentally and physically. They’ve taught me so much.”
Young firefighters can positively impact the community, Fire Chief Charles Yarbrough said, and Starkville is finding new ways to bring young people into the department.
