Girls between the ages of 13-18 are encouraged to register. All genders are welcome. The camp is filled with firefighting skills, teamwork, and leadership opportunities.
Skills stations include but are not limited to: hose, ladders, rope rescue, hand tools, personal protective equipment, search and rescue, first aid, ventilation, and more. The camp is free, includes a camp T-shirt, and lunch both days.
The event will take place at the Beverly Hills Fire Department, Headquarters Station 1 located at 445 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 on November 9 and November 10 from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
