Delaware State Fire School Junior Fire Academy

The Delaware State Fire School's Junior Fire Academy is an enriching four-day camp aimed at youths aged 13 to 17. It offers a comprehensive introduction to fire and rescue services, including hands-on training and activities such as hose line management and vehicle rescue. The camp, set in Dover, is designed for both novices and junior or explorer members of fire companies, providing them with invaluable experiences in teamwork, fire service skills, and the daily life of a firefighter. Participants engage in a range of activities, including fire/rescue boat rides and firehouse tours, culminating in a final day showcase for family members accompanied by a communal cookout.
