South Charlotte Today

From March 5, 2023 post.

We need your help! As Charlotte Fire prepares to host our annual FREE camp for girls, Camp Ignite, the need to help local students is more significant than ever.  During their 4-night, 5-day stay, campers learn skills associated with search and rescue techniques, hose-line advancement, rappelling, ladders, and much more.  Camp Ignite educates and inspires high school girls to follow their dreams by introducing them to a future of limitless opportunities. The curriculum provides a safe, dynamic, and interactive environment to introduce campers to the fundamentals of firefighting and ignites courage, confidence, and character. Campers train alongside female firefighters as we break down barriers and stereotypes in a male-dominated career.  By the end of their stay, campers understand Charlotte Fire’s commitment to and pride in serving the City of Charlotte.
