FUTURE LEADERS
Junior Firefighter
In 1998 the Elkridge Volunteer Juniors firefighters program was created to give local youths from the ages of 9-15 the opportunity to learn some basic firefighting and emergency medical skills. By learning these skills, they also learned leadership, teamwork, and the values of being part of a community. Many of our juniors have graduated to the active side of the department and are volunteer firefighters and EMTs, and some have made a career out of firefighting in Howard and adjoining counties.
