🏀 From the court to the skies: exploring careers in fire service. 🔥 Earlier today, these girls traded their jerseys for helmets and toured CAL FIRE’s Aviation Program. The Golden Valley High School (Merced) Girls Varsity Basketball team got a firsthand look at the wide range of careers within CAL FIRE — from firefighting and aviation to emergency response and support roles — and saw how each one plays a part in protecting communities across California. They also learned about Camp Cinder, a week-long summer camp in the fire service that gives young women a hands-on look at careers that CAL FIRE offers. 🗓️ If you or someone you know is interested in Camp Cinder, applications are open now!
