Youth aged 8 to 12 spent the last five days of their summer holiday (while parents spent $250) to attend the Future Firefighters Camp, a partnership between Saanich, the Saanich Firefighters Charitable Foundation and the Braefoot Athletic Association.

Campers visited different fire halls to learn and apply lifesaving skills, check out equipment and participate in drills with Saanich firefighters.
