Cal Fire's summer camp inspires young women to become future of the fire service
As California's wildfire seasons grow increasingly fierce, there's an urgency to build up the firefighting workforce of the future. Cal Fire, the state's fire management agency, said it's committed to bringing more women into its ranks. That's why the agency just held a week-long camp for girls – ages 14 to 18 – in Shasta and San Luis Obispo counties. Camp Cinder helps young women experience what it's like to be part of the fire service.
