Camp Ignite teaches valuable life saving skills to girls aged 16 to 19 in this unique weekend. Female firefighters from several Metro Vancouver municipalities share their experiences in this camp.

The girls learn firefighting and search and rescue techniques, CPR, and fire extinguisher use.

The program is based on other successful models in the United States. This camp was most recently hosted at the Vancouver Fire Rescue Training Centre on Chess Street.
