Kids are learning firsthand what it's like to be a Roseville firefighter at the Roseville Fire Kids Camp.
"I really thought it was an easy job but it's really not," said Grace Meyer, a fire camp trainee.
Local firefighters volunteered a week of their time to put 40 students through some of the same exercises they did during their training.
"Fire extinguisher training, going into our burn room. We do vehicle extrication with them," said the coordinator for the Roseville Fire Kids Camp, Joe Lapenna.
The kids go through a real-life fire academy, even getting the opportunity to put out a live fire. The kids also walk away with skills they can use in the event of an emergency, like first aid and CPR training.
But the trainees also get to experience some of the fun aspects of the job too, like rappelling down the side of a six-story building.
