Female Fire Camp
(Sherwood, OR) -- A fire camp was held for young women over the weekend at Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue's Sherwood training facility. Fifty women between the ages of 16 and 22 took part. They learn how to use hydrants, fire hoses and nozzles, rope operations, ladders, and search and rescue. The goal is for the women to learn about firefighting as a potential career. This is the 16th year Portland Fire & Rescue has hosted a camp and the sixth year Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue has hosted a camp at their training facility.
