Fire Safety Camp Set for Camp Long

     CLEMSON -- If you are age 13 or 14 with a burning desire to
learn more about fire prevention, Fire Cadet Camp is for you.
     Scheduled for June 9-14 at Clemson University's Camp Long 
in Aiken County, Fire Cadet Camp will teach fire fighting and safety
skills in "a fun, exciting camp environment," according to Sarah 
DuBose, Extension Service fire safety specialist.
     "This camp is for anyone interested in the fire services as
a career and anyone who just wants to learn more about fireprevention, 
or the fire fighting profession" she says. "We have openings 
for 35-40 students."
     All courses will be taught by instructors certified by 
the S.C. Fire Academy, and cadets will take a trip to the State 
Fire Academy in Columbia. 
     Fire Cadet Camp is sponsored by the S.C. Firemen's
Association and Clemson Extension Service.     
     May 20 is the deadline to apply for the camp. For more 
information contact DuBose at (803) 656-4049. Local fire 
departments and County Extension offices also may be contacted
for information.
     Cost of the camp is $100. Scholarships are available.                                            END
