The Amagansett Fire Department has started a Junior Firefighter program. Nearly a dozen kids between the ages of 10 and 17 have signed up to start learning about the fire department. Their first training was last night, February 27, at the fire house. Chief Allen Bennett Jr. along with Ex-Chiefs Carl Hamilton, Scott Rodriguez and PJ Cantwell as well as Firefighter Kathleen Bennett gave the children an overview of some of the gear and equipment that they use.
I wish you well on this program. Its a great opportunity for youth to get a chance to see what firefighters do on a daily basis. Who knows, maybe they will become a firefighter when they grow up!
