VIDEO: Not many adults know what to do when your house is on fire and there's people trapped inside. Imagine that happening at 10 years old. That's why these young kids, from ages 9–11, came to the Caledonia Fire Department for Camp 911 — to learn about fire safety.
Through Life EMS's Camp 911, about 20 of these kids were able to tour the inside of an ambulance, practice CPR and learn the importance of first aid.
According to Kyle Fennell, captain of the Caledonia Fire Department, there are three things to do in an emergency.
“We’re either going to respond and help in a situation, we’re going to freeze or we’re going to run from it,” Fennell said.
Camp 911 holds great significance for Fennell, whose son, Ben, is one of the firefighters in training.
“I think I’m persuading him to become a firefighter one day,” Fennell said.
