Several children spent this past week at Camp Phoenix (Indian Creek Camp in Liberty) thanks in part to the Tennessee Firefighters Burn Foundation, Inc.
The foundation operates and provides funding for a summer camp experience for children who are all burn survivors. Camp Phoenix is staffed mainly by professional and enthusiastic volunteer firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. The camp program provides safe and fun outdoor programs for kids ages 6-17. The goal is to promote healing of the heart and mind, personal enrichment and new friendships.”
On Tuesday June 1st, approximately 50 campers spent the afternoon at the DeKalb County Fire Department’s main station. They enjoyed a meal and got to see up close, an extrication unit, a deputy sheriff car, ambulance and the fire engines.
County firefighters, a deputy sheriff, paramedics, County Mayor Mike Foster and a UCHRA van driver assisted these campers in having a great afternoon.
