“Campers at the Fire House”

 Future firefighters are invited to attend the Frankfort Fire District’s annual Junior Firefighter Camp. This is the sixth year the Fire District has offered the camp for kids 6-12 during the summer. For the kids, the camp offers a glimpse of what it is like being a firefighter.

 Under the watchful eye of fire fighter/counselors, the campers learned the basics of fire safety, such as Stop Drop and Roll, Stay Low and Go, and learned to detect fire hazards in the home.  The campers tour the Fire District museum and will see the fire trucks from the past. They will see firefighter clothes, the on duty Firefighters will show the campers the tools they work with and they work and get to help the firefighters roll firefighting hose.  The campers will learn how to get out of a smoke filled room in the “Kids Safety Trailer”.

 If you have any questions please contact the Public Education Office at 815 469-1700
