Press Release: Markham to host Junior Firefighter Camp
Junior Firefighter Day - September 25, 2007
MARKHAM, ON ~ September 20, 2007 ~
On Tuesday, September 25, 2007,
the Fire Departments of York Region will host their annual Junior Firefighter Day
at Markham Fire Station 98, 650 Bur Oak Drive, Markham.
In the spring of 2007, each of the nine municipalities in York Region selected a
winner from a Risk Watch theme contest. To be chosen as a winner of the
contest, the students had to write an essay including at least three of the eight
Risk Watch safety components.
Risk Watch is a curriculum-based tool that teaches children about several safety
topics such as traffic, pedestrian, bike and bike helmets, fire and burns, poison,
falls, electrical safety and more. Each of the nine municipalities in York Region
has selected their Junior Firefighter and they will have a day of recognition and
firefighting training along with the Mayor and Fire Chief from each municipality.
The day starts at 10 a.m., with each Junior Firefighter receiving their own official
bunker gear which they will take home with them when the day is finished. They
will then have a chance to ride a fire truck, practice using the fire hose, learn
proper techniques for operating portable fire extinguishers on a live fire and
practice using the 911 phone.
Members of the media are invited to visit and watch the junior firefighters in
action from 10 to noon for lunch and photo opportunities. The day ends about
2:30 p.m.
