The Girls Future Firefighter Camp uses
the Fire Rescue ViR (TM) Simulator
FIRE RESCUE VR (TM) Simulator is an innovative, cutting- edge hardware and software system that immerses firefighters in low- risk, REAL WORLD situations and scenarios through the use of dynamic 360 degree Virtual-Reality!
CPR and First Aid will be taught by
a certified CPR Instructor.
Participants will learn life-saving skills and receive certification upon completion of the course. Additionally, basic first aid training will cover topics such as wound care of minor burns, cuts and injuries.
Campers participate in physical fitness training that includes calisthenics, cardio, strength training and endurance as preparation for “A Day in the Life of A Firefighter”. Our young women also learn how to use their lower body strength to complete the physical tasks required of emergency services personnel, to pass the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) and while on the job.
Campers are familiarized with all of the necessary tools and equipment on an engine, ladder, and rescue truck. Participants are introduced to the basic components of a fire engine, safety-driving skills, operation of warning lights and siren, and emergency response in the apparatus.
It all begins with the initial 911 call. Campers learn how to stay calm, get the facts, and dispatch necessary services with assurance and efficiency.
GFFC participants are introduced to donning and doffing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Scott tanks and masks.
A firehouse meal is planned out at the beginning of the day. While cooking the meal, campers receive emergency calls that will halt their meal plans and require them to jump into action!
Campers will practice writing reports on emergency calls received. Reports are reviewed and checked for complicity and accuracy.
Campers participate in assisting with childbirth, bls, wound care, traumatic injury stabilization, triage treatment and transportation of the injured.
Campers are educated in Connecticut State Fire Code familiarization and information, and how to enforce the law.
