Girls 15–17 — this one’s for you!

#CampCinder is back in 2025 with free, four-day firefighter camps in Shasta and San Luis Obispo. Led by women firefighters, it’s a high-energy, confidence-building experience: rope work, water rescues, hose lays, teamwork, and real fire service skills.

Young women across California recently joined us to train hard, build each other up, and get a firsthand look at the skills, strength, and teamwork it takes to be a first responder.
