The Annavile Fire Department is helping local kids learn what it takes to be a first responder — through a hands-on summer camp.
For the second year in a row, Annaville firefighters hosted the Junior Firefighter Summer Camp. The two-day camp gives kids the chance to learn life-savings skills while getting hands-on experience with real firefighting equipment.
“Hopefully they’re going to get to experience for it is to be a firefighter. Wearing the bunker gear, using the fire hose to put out things. A lot of useful things. So they should be able to help in emergency situations," said Christopher Glass, Annaville FD Fire Captain.
One of the participants is 11-year-old Aaron Glass who has attended the camp both years.
“So that they can show other people how to do stuff if they ever want to be a firefighter," he said.
