The Charlottesville Fire Department is taking applications for its annual Girls Fire & EMS Camp, taking place July 23–25, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Cue up the lawsuit from a legal group associated with or inspired by Trump hatchet man Stephen Miller challenging this obvious, flagrant attempt at DEI.

Because we can’t have good things anymore.

And this is a good thing on the part of the Charlottesville Fire Department, which uses the camp to introduce middle and high school-aged girls to the world of fire and emergency medical services.

Now in its third year, the camp is designed to empower and inspire girls by giving them a unique opportunity to learn directly from female firefighters and EMS professionals in a field where women are historically underrepresented.

Fox News is going to do a hit piece on this. That Will Cain guy is beside himself, you can just feel it.

What will campers do?


  • Learn and practice stop the bleed and first aid
  • Try on firefighting gear and operate hoses
  • Participate in search and rescue drills
  • Perform basic EMS skills
  • Engage in confidence-building and team activities

Register


The application deadline is July 7.

Acceptance notifications will be sent by July 11.
