Botetourt County’s Department of Fire & EMS is excited to announce its first ever Girl’s Fire Camp. This event has been inspired by career and volunteer female firefighters of the department’s workforce. The fire service has the ever-growing need for a diverse workforce and ladies, you can be part of this amazing profession!

This year’s inaugural camp takes place on June 18, for rising 1st through 12th graders. This camp was established to inspire girls of all ages to see possible career opportunities in Fire & EMS. Through multiple age-appropriate modules, girls will be able to learn what Fire & EMS is all about.

The camp is being dedicated in the honor of late Fire & EMS Captain, Helen “Gracey” Humbert, who served within the department for over a decade. Gracey passed away earlier this month after battling breast cancer. She was the essence of what a female can be in the fire service, so we will be sharing her story and honoring her legacy as part of this camp.

Registration is limited to 50 girls and do not need to be a Botetourt Resident to participate.

Parents have the opportunity to join in on the action with an optional CPR Course, taught by the Compress & Shock Foundation.

To register or find more information about the event go to www.botetourtva.gov/girlsfirecamp. Registration closes as soon as tickets sell out.

Funding for this opportunity was provided by a FEMA SAFER grant through the International Association of Fire Chief’s Volunteer Workforce Solutions program.
