UPPER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The Southampton Fire Company is holding a Junior Day on Saturday for teenagers interested in learning about becoming a firefighter.
Junior Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the firehouse located at 925 Street Road.
The free event is designed for local teenagers, ages 14-17, who are curious about the fire service and interested in learning more about what it means to be part of the Southampton Fire Company.
Participants will gain hands-on experience and try some of the skills our junior firefighters use, such as pulling a fire hose and hooking up a fire hydrant.
Teenagers will also have the opportunity to meet fire company members, learn about the equipment used by firefighters and get a firsthand look at the fire service.
"We hope Junior Day will inspire the next generation of volunteers," Fire Company President Mike Lorenz. "Join us for a fun day of discovering if the fire service is right for you."
Teens must receive parental permission and register in advance at https://www.tinyurl.com/JuniorDaySFC.
As a 100 percent volunteer fire company, the Southampton Fire Company is always seeking dedicated individuals to join its team.
The community can learn more about volunteering at both events or visit www.JoinSouthamptonFire.org.
