Michelle Paw law and eight other teenage girls are participating in the three- day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside Washington. Firefighter Clare Burley is in charge of the program, who said the purpose is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a career. The free- of- charge, overnight camp is designed to let the girls experience what firefighters do to protect the munity. That includes some rigorous activities such as moving a fire victim. “I didn39。t think I could pull that 170 pound body with a friend, but I was actually able to do it.” she said. They take classes and learn how to climb the ladder on a fire truck, operate emergency tools and rescue an injured person. They also do their share of cleaning the firehouse and the equipment. “Every week without fail on a Saturday, the job is to wash all the equipment. And we wanted the girls to see this is what we is a typical day in a firehouse, ” she said.
