The Topeka Fire Department is hosting the annual Camp Courage for women this week. Camp Courage is offered for women ages 14-20 who want to learn about the world of firefighting from a woman’s perspective. The camp is a way to encourage women to get involved in fire service and show what firefighting entails. During the weeklong camp that started Monday, campers participate in different real-world activities to teach them different experiences. This includes deploying hoses, search and rescue, medical protocols and more. The instructors for the camp come from all over the state of Kansas to teach women about being a firefighter.
