Las Vegas Fire & Rescue will host a free community boot camp this month to show residents what it takes to fight fires.
People ages 14 and older are invited to attend the camp on Saturday, May 26, at the Cashman Field Complex off Las Vegas Boulevard and Washington Avenue.
Attendees can meet Fire & Rescue staff, learn how to prepare for the firefighter academy, and participate in a firefighter workout.
Parking will be free and the event runs from 9 a.m. to noon.
Firefighter recruitment opens on June 3 for anyone who is 18 or older and has a high school diploma or equivalent and a valid driver's license. Current emergency medical technician or paramedic certification is preferred. Wildfire experience, veteran status, military experience and bi-lingual fluency are considered pluses.
