ASK YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT...

“As a firefighter I am often asked why firefighters do the things we do; so I’ve decided to write a column in The Banner designed to explain the inner workings of our Bonita Springs Fire Rescue Department and the different services we offer to the citizens of Bonita Springs.”

“With this in mind, if you have a specific question you want answered please access the link: “Ask Your Fire Department” on the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District’s official web site at www.bonitafire.org and I will answer all questions online and may include your questions in future columns. Visit the web site often, all the questions and answers will be archived there as well as a plethora of valuable information concerning the BSFD.”

YOUTH DAY AT BONITA SPRINGS FIRE-RESCUE

Bonita Springs Fire-Rescue held their first Youth Day for students in the community on Saturday, April 12. Participating students were taught the everyday activities of life as a firefighter, how to become a firefighter, and what is expected of them. They were also taught the physical and educational requirements of a firefighter. The program is intended for students between the ages of 13-18. Firefighters educated the group on the background of the fire department in Bonita Springs. In addition, individual firefighters spoke to the students about their own experiences with the fire service and what they’ve done to achieve their careers. Students worked together as a group and individually as they assisted the firefighters with their morning chores and daily activities.

Students were able to watch and participate in training activities that were scheduled as firefighters narrated the events. Students then participated in an obstacle course that instructed them on what is required to be hired as a firefighter. At the conclusion of the day students received a certificate of completion and a certificate for volunteer hours to submit for graduation. more info...
