2023 FIRE CAMP is July 11-14

Registration for FIRE CAMP opens on April 20th

For kids ages 11-13

FIRE CAMP is a four-day Camp that teaches middle school-age kids what it's like to be a firefighter for the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. FIRE CAMP is an excellent opportunity for our firefighters to help 11, 12, and 13-year-old kids build a sense of teamwork and responsibility.

On day one, we will organize campers into "strike teams," which consist of 8 campers who are mentored and supervised by two professional firefighters. As the week progresses, the teams take on a character of their own as they learn about the job of a firefighter and experience: 

• Putting out a flammable liquid fire with a fire extinguisher
• Climbing a 105-foot aerial ladder truck
• Developing the traditional bucket brigade and hand pumper crew skills 
• Learning life skills such as Hands-Only CPR
• And much more!

FIRE CAMP occurs at Fire Station 21, 7641 Greenback Lane, Citrus Heights, 95610, near Sunrise Mall. Campers will rely on a parent or guardian for daily transportation.

Please note, Parent Orientation on Tuesday, June 20 at 7 PM is mandatory.

Hours for FIRE CAMP are as follows:

·       Tuesday & Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

·       Thursday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM

·       Friday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (approximate end time).
