Aiden C. Radke Junior
Firefighter Camps!
Three camps with a total of 76 kids
ranging from ages 7-14. We had a blast!
They have all learned fire behavior, fire
prevention, life safety, teamwork, first
aid, hands only CPR, and a lot of other
hands on activities.
Thanks to those who helped, all the
kids and their parents!
