Experience firsthand what it's like to be a firefighter through our Junior Fire Academy!
The Wilmington Fire Department hosts a Junior Fire Academy in the summer for rising 9th through 12th graders. During the week-long, camp-like experience, students will learn life-saving skills like hands-only CPR, how to use a fire extinguisher, bike and pedestrian safety, and safe cooking behaviors. Students also get to try on turnout gear, search for a victim, and take on the combat challenge. For a sneak peak of the FREE program, watch the video below!
