The Beverly Hills Fire Department (BHFD) will launch its third annual Empowerment Camp Nov. 9-10 that will give young adults the opportunity to see firsthand what it takes to be a firefighter. The camp will feature hands-on exercises, drills and training over two days and is open to those ages 13-18.
“Our Fire Department’s Empowerment Camp is the perfect way to experience firsthand how important teamwork is when responding to emergencies,” said Beverly Hills Mayor Lester Friedman. “This intensive two-day course will open anyone’s eyes up to how hard our first responders work each and every day and will hopefully inspire those to choose that career path.”
The camp will be held in person at the Beverly Hills Fire Department at 445 N. Rexford Dr., Beverly Hills.
“Hopefully, after spending time at our camp, we will inspire our next generation to join the ranks of the Beverly Hills Fire Department in the years ahead,” said Melissa Hillis, BHFD Fire Engineer.
Registration for residents and non-residents is free and has officially opened. To sign-up, visit beverlyhills.org/empowermentcamp.
