CUMMING, GA -- Nineteen young people recently graduated from the Forsyth County Fire Department's Junior Fire Academy.

Participants spent the week learning about what it takes to be a firefighter, particularly the importance of teamwork and leadership.

They learned about fire safety, search and rescue, how to use a fire extinguisher and more from Forsyth firefighters.

This was the sixth year the fire department has offered the free camp.
