Bend Fire & Rescue has kicked off Camp Fire Axe 2023! This camp is an exciting introduction into a Fire/EMS career at Bend Fire. Students from 16-18 years old will experience 4 days of what a traditional fire academy is like.

They will learn the history of the fire service, Bend Fire’s core values and what it takes to serve our community, medical skills like CPR/AED and the path to becoming a paramedic, firefighting skills and techniques, hose and equipment drills, and most importantly, teamwork! We hope to ignite inspiring career possibilities and forever friendships.
