Holbrook Fire Department Junior Fire Squad
CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR PHOTO GALLERY
Our Junior Fire Squad program is geared towards teaching safety and the fundamental skills of firefighting to our local youth, while also promoting community leadership and responsibility. Our members range from the ages of 14 to 17. After they turn 17, they are eligible to be sworn into the active department as a probationary member. They learn all about the tools of our trade, firefighting techniques, what it means to be a community leader, and everything in between. They will also be introduced to basic first aid and become CPR-certified.
The training program for our Junior Fire Squad is structured much like the active department's. This will put those Juniors that join the department at an advantage, as they have already begun their training and are ready to advance. Junior Fire Squad members will also be able to participate in department parades, fundraising events, local community events and projects, and fire department drills.
Our Junior Fire Squad Program builds confidence and character in these members, and hopefully will give them a sense of community responsibility. Being a member of the department will also create a lot of other opportunities, such as excellent college scholarship programs and networking opportunities.
The Junior Fire Squad meets every other week, on pre-determined dates and times. Our program is both curriculum-based as well as hands-on oriented. Members are accepted annually, and of course parents and prospective members are always welcome to sit in on a class and see what we do. Please fell free to contact us with any questions or comments at Juniors@Holbrookalarms.com.
