The Beaufort/Port Royal Fire Department is promoting a summer program aimed at encouraging girls to explore firefighting and EMS careers, featuring hands-on stations and training exercises to build skills and confidence.
In the county brief, a participant described several camp activities and benefits: "You learn teamwork, you learn how to boost your confidence, and you learn a lot of stuff overall," and highlighted hands-on drills such as forcible entry and search-and-rescue. The participant added, "I want to become someone who helps people out in the future, so this looks like a great way to start it." The recording emphasized that the camp helps girls see themselves in fire and EMS roles.
The brief directs listeners to a full Girls Firefighting Camp video on the county schools' YouTube channel and to the county news page for related press releases. The county encourages viewers to subscribe to stay updated.
