FireCamp
2026 FIRE CAMP is June 16-19

For kids ages 11-13
FIRE CAMP is a four-day Camp that teaches middle school-age kids what it's like to be a firefighter for the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. FIRE CAMP is an excellent opportunity for our firefighters to help 11, 12 and 13-year-old kids build a sense of teamwork and responsibility.
On day one, we will organize campers into "strike teams," which consist of 8 campers who are mentored and supervised by two professional firefighters. As the week progresses, the teams take on a character of their own as they learn about the job of a firefighter and experience the following:
- Putting out a flammable liquid fire with a fire extinguisher
- Climbing a 105-foot aerial ladder truck
- Developing the traditional bucket brigade and hand pumper crew skills
- Learning life skills such as Hands-Only CPR
- And much more!
FIRE CAMP occurs at Fire Station 21, 7641 Greenback Lane, Citrus Heights. Campers will rely on a parent or guardian for daily transportation.
Hours for FIRE CAMP are as follows:
· Tuesday & Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
· Thursday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
· Friday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (approximate end time)
