Excerpts from cbsnewschicago.com:
Dozens of girls got to make a dream come true Thursday morning. They got to feel like firefighters for a day.
Girls, Inc. partnered with the Chicago Fire Department to host their annual “Firefighter For a Day” event at the Quinn Fire Academy.
They got to try on firefighting gear, practiced some safety drills, and met real-life firefighters and other women in leadership roles.
The girls checked out a mobile simulation lab and learned how to use fire hoses. Girls, Inc. offers a wide range of programs. The group aims to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
