Media Invite: Now is your chance to become a junior firefighter by competing in the challenge
The Spokane Fire Department is inviting members of the media to visit Spokane Fire Station 1 (44 W. Riverside Ave.) on Friday, August 31, 2018 at 11 a.m. to participate in the junior firefighter’s combat challenge.
The challenge will be a fun way to help highlight the upcoming Kids Junior Fire Academy occurring on Saturday, September 8 at River Park Square. Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer will also be available for interviews.
More about the Kids Junior Fire Academy:
The Spokane Fire Department, SAFE Kids, Mobius Children's Museum, the Downtown Spokane Partnership and River Park Square are partnering for the second annual Kids Junior Fire Academy. This free, family event will be held at River Park Square, Saturday, September 8 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.
The Kids Junior Fire Academy is open to “kids” of all ages, and will provide an opportunity for attendees to tour and see demonstrations from a ladder truck and fire engine, practice hands-only CPR with firefighters, make a craft with Mobius Children's Museum, operate a charged fire hose, learn about child passenger safety from SAFE Kids Spokane and so much more! Kids can collect stamps at each activity and receive a Jr. Firefighter certificate and enter to win fun prizes.
Here are two videos about the Kids Junior Fire Academy: https://vimeo.com/286245513 and https://vimeo.com/286092728 .
