Campers Get a Lesson in Fire, Police, EMT Careers

Over 300 children at the River Edge Summer Camp learned about what goes into becoming a firefighter, police officer and EMT

An annual favorite for campers during the River Edge Summer Camp at Veteran's Memorial Park has always been career day when members of the River Edge Fire Department, Police Department and Volunteer Ambulance Service come down with their rigs and cruisers. This year over 300 youth attended career day to hear Firefighter Martin Blech explain the role of a firefighter, the equipment they use and general fire safety. Joan Daly took campers into the back of the ambulance rig while Patrol Officer Joseph Zemaites showed off cruiser, his equipment and taught campers basic drill movements.
