Camp Ignite, a three-day overnight career exploration program for young women in grades 10 through 12, gives participants hands-on exposure to careers in firefighting and emergency medical services—fields where women remain significantly underrepresented. With the support of Chief Rod Smith and the dedicated women of AFRD, this camp allows participants to live the experience—responding to simulated service calls, conducting fire scene investigations, and learning what it means to serve under pressure.
