Junior Firefighter Bootcamp

Are you between the ages of 16 and 19 and interested in becoming a firefighter? Or maybe you want to experience what it’s like to be part of a fire department? If so, our Junior Firefighter Program is the perfect opportunity for you!

Our program is designed for youth who want to develop leadership skills, gain hands-on training, and give back to their community in a meaningful way. This isn’t just a weekend summer camp—it’s an ongoing training program and commitment that prepares young individuals for a future in emergency services.

Expectations:

  • Engage in occasional weekend training and community events
  • Learn essential firefighting skills in a structured and safe environment
  • Work alongside experienced firefighters and mentors
  • Develop teamwork, discipline, and problem-solving skills

Important: Junior Firefighters do not respond to emergency incidents, but they may participate in certain activities for educational purposes under supervision.

All equipment, safety gear and training is offered free of charge. Additional certified training courses may be available based on availability.

If you’re ready to step up, challenge yourself, and be part of something bigger, we want you on our team!
