The Sacramento Fire Department will host its sixth annual Sacramento Area Girls Fire Camp on April 12-13 at the Sacramento Fire Academy in McClellan Park.
This free two-day event is open to teens in grades 9 through 12 and is led by professional women firefighters.
“This camp is all about creating space for young women to discover their strength, try something new, and see what’s possible,” said Sacramento Fire Assistant Chief Kim Iannucci. “It’s an empowering weekend that builds confidence, leadership, and lasting connections.”
Participants will engage in hands-on training, including fire suppression, search and rescue, first aid and CPR, and auto extrication. Beyond acquiring firefighting skills, campers will develop leadership abilities and enhance their understanding of public safety. At the end of camp, each participant will receive a certificate of completion.
Some past participants continued their career journey in fire or emergency medical services (EMS) by joining Sacramento Fire Department’s Youth Academy and EMS Trainee Program.
The Sacramento Fire Department employs an inclusive definition of “girls” to include female-identifying, transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals.
Early registration is recommended as space is limited to 50 participants.
