        We have had our junior program for the last 65 years and it is the oldest junior program in the state of Maryland. Many of our senior members started as juniors in our company. The junior program strives to educate future members about Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Fire Fighting through diligent training, theoretical and practical, and to teach them discipline and dedication. Our juniors are part of our company and they participate in many company's events and activities. They play a vital role in our company and we see the future in their eyes.   

        The juniors have weekly meetings and classes held at our company every Tuesday night from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. Every Tuesday night starts with a short meeting followed by training, theoretical or practical. The juniors are taught a Heart Saver AED program, Firefighter basic training (excluding live burns), and are trained on equipment usage, EMS or Fire.

       The juniors have their own equipments and fund raising events. They have their own fire engine, on which they practice and learn the functions of the important pieces on the engine. They also have their own EMS tools and toys. They alternate with their practice between EMS and fire depending on what they want to learn or scheduled events. Every now and then, they will have hands on experiences, whether practicing life saving techniques or shooting water at a target or an imaginary fire. On the other hand, they have their own fund raising events, the funds of which are used for the juniors only to purchase gears, dresses, or equipments. The company does not take or invest any of the juniors' money.

     Perspective juniors need to adhere to specific company criteria and dress codes. The age range for a junior is between 6-16 years of age with a parent consent. Juniors have specific dress code: a company T-shirt, Black pants, black boots/shoes, and black belts. The company T-shirt will be given free of charge once a junior is accepted. The rest of the dress code is not provided by the company.

    For more information or concerns about the junior program, please contact either Darren Mcdevitt or Duck Condon at our station.
