Youth Firefighter Camp Update from Chief Shuler 5/7/2020

Hello Future Firefighter Families,

We hope this finds you all healthy and safe,

As a follow up to our last email, the Committee met and regretfully has decided to cancel the Youth Firefighter Camp for 2020.  This was a very hard decision on one hand due to the enjoyment it brings to our members but an easier decision on the other for the safety of all involved.

Ultimately we want to look forward to 2021 and make it a great camp for the kids.  Please pass on our heartfelt apologies to the future firefighters that we will truly miss this summer. 

NOTE – your registration for this year will be held for next year unless you would like a refund taking you off the list for 2021, no need to re-enroll.  Please let us know and we will take care of it asap.  For those that requests a refund, we will send out availability for the camp for 2021 to the current waiting list to work on filing those spots.  Also, if you son or daughter is approaching or exceeds the age of 13, we WILL make accommodations for him or her to work with our Junior Firefighters during camp week.

Thank you all for your continued support of the Limerick Fire Department and the volunteer fire service.  It is what makes our community great in every way.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.  Also watch our social media (Facebook & Instagram) communications for any open visits to the firehouse in the coming months. 

Thank you and we wish you a very safe and healthy summer break.

Sincerely,

Ken Shuler, Chief
Limerick Fire Dept.

Youth Firefighter Camp Update from Chief Shuler 3/30/2020

As we navigate through these more challenging times, we wanted to give you a quick update on the Annual Youth Firefighter Camp.

With 3 months away, we figured it is a bit too early to truly say the event is still on or we need to postpone or cancel.  The Camp Committee has regular conference calls.  Everyone agrees we will have another call on April 22 and provide updates to make a more educated decision.

The safety of our members and the community is our number one concern in this process.  Our members have as much fun at the camp as the kids do so please don’t think we won’t be sad in the event we have to cancel.  Our members are also struggling with other events we host here such as the Annual Comedy Show (postposed to Sept. 26) and also the Annual Carnival the week of May 12-16.  We are in close communication with the carnival company in case this has to be moved or cancelled all together this year.  There are many moving parts in all of these and everyone is working hard to ensure safety for everyone. 

We wish everyone well as we go through this and our hope is this virus disappears as fast as it appeared.  Our hearts and prayers go out to the families affected with illness or death. 

Stay tuned for another update by the end of April.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there are any questions for us.

Thank you for your continued support of the Limerick Fire Department and say a prayer for our volunteer responders on the street everyday serving the community. 

Talk to you soon,
Ken Shuler, Chief
Limerick Fire Dept.

Welcome to Limerick Fire Department's 7th Annual Youth Firefighter Camp.

All registered cadets will receive one LFD Fireman’s t-shirt and one LFD athletic shorts to wear as their ‘daily uniform’. The‘uniform shirt’ must be worn every day because it identifies which group the cadet is assigned to for the week. If you are interested in purchasing extra camp shirts, they must be ordered at the time of registration - $10 per shirt.

Why try this Camp? Kids will: 

• Learn fire safety 
• Learn about the fire house and the trucks 
• Hands-on with the equipment 
• Ladders 
• Hoses 
• Extinguishers 
• Rescue tools 
• Fire gear 
• Watch several live demonstrations by the firefighters 
• And more…. 

Due to the success of our camp, the deadline to register cannot be extended and attendance is limited.
