Our goal of the West Sacramento Fire Department Youth Fire Academy is to host a fire camp that educates a diverse group of local high school youth about the fire service as a career in a fun, safe, supportive team environment.

We are looking for motivated individuals that work well with others, who have an interest in learning what it takes to become a firefighter, and those who want to get hands-on experience with various firefighter skills.

Lunch and uniforms will be provided. There is no cost to attend.
