All These Kids Completed Woodbridge Junior Fire Academy

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Here are photos of all the kids who enrolled in Woodbridge Fire Department's Junior Fire Academy, held during the weeks of July 11 and July 18.

This was the fourth year the Woodbridge Fire Dept. has hosted the camp.

These two, week-long summer camps are designed to teach and promote teamwork, discipline and a better understanding of the fire service from the perspective of firefighters and officers.

The kids who attended are all of-middle school age.

They met and worked directly with Woodbridge Fire Department employees and volunteers in hands-on training sessions, performing numerous tasks that would be executed in a fire or other life-saving emergency.

Campers not only toured and worked at Station 1, located on School Street in Woodbridge, but were also taken to the Middlesex County Fire Academy to see where current and recruit firefighters perform live-burn trainings and educational seminars.

They were also introduced to the Middlesex County HAZMAT team and given a tour of the HAZMAT facilities, apparatus and equipment. Before camp was over, all attendees successfully passed the American Heart Association’s CPR training course and became certified in adult, child and infant CPR.

The Board of Fire Commissioners, administration and personnel at Woodbridge Fire would like to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the 2022 Junior Fire Academy graduates and thank them for their dedication and hard work in summer 2022!
