Junior Firefighters Recruitment Camp sparks interest among youth BY JEFF BABBITT
FRIENDSHIP — Nine youth from across Allegany County participated in the first Junior Firefighter Recruitment Camp on Saturday at the Friendship Fire Department. The participants, from grades 10 through 12, represented four volunteer fire companies in the county: Wiscoy-Rossburg, Fillmore, Friendship and West Clarksville. Organized by Leadership Allegany in cooperation with the Allegany County Office of Emergency Management, the one-day camp provided hands-on sessions covering the basics of firefighting. Session topics included Emergency Dispatch & County Emergency Services, Basic External Operations, Interior Fire Operations, and Pump, Hose & Nozzle Operations. Jeff Luckey, director of emergency management and fire for Allegany County, said the idea for the camp “was to bring in 16- to 18-year-olds that currently weren’t involved in the fire department to spark their interest. Ultimately, our goal for the camp is to help increase our recruitment across the county.” Each interactive
session at the camp included a presentation complemented by a hands-on component. The first session was led by Dustin Zajicek from Allegany County Emergency Services Dispatch, and Jamie Dennis-Howe, a University Police communications and security specialist at Alfred State College. The youth learned the ins-and-outs of how operators handle incoming 911 calls. They also were given the opportunity to tour the Allegany County Emergency Mobile Command Center. The exterior fire training was led by veteran firefighter Tim Hite, from the City of Olean Fire Department and the Allegany Fire Department. During this session, youth became familiar with turnout gear and practiced various building entry techniques using the county’s forced entry simulator. Interior fire operations training was facilitated by Dana Atherton from the City of Olean Fire Department and the Belfast Fire Department. Participants learned how to use a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and practiced navigating through a fire wearing full turnout gear along

be displaying, demonstrating, and selling their artworks at 28 different sites scattered across the county.
