We are beyond grateful for our amazing community and the overwhelming response to Camp Blaze again this year! 🔥

If you signed up for July but would prefer a June session, the June registration link is still open. Please email us at [email protected] to be removed from the July list.

Please keep in mind that registration does **not** guarantee your selected date—some participants may be contacted to be moved to a different session to help us accommodate as many kids as possible. I will be emailing all all registrants in the next few days to confirm.

Thank you all for your continued support! 🚒

The Clayton Fire Department is leading the way in firefighter health and safety.

The department has earned National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Gold Helmet Status, a recognition given to fire departments where a large portion of firefighters participate in the National Firefighters Cancer Registry. This program helps firefighters track potential exposures throughout their careers and supports long-term health monitoring.

Clayton is one of only three departments in North Carolina to reach this level, placing the team among a small group nationwide working proactively to protect firefighter health.

By taking steps like exposure tracking, post-fire decontamination, and ongoing safety education, the Clayton Fire Department is helping make sure firefighters can serve the community safely today and for years to come.

🔥 BREAKING: Science to the Station just launched something BIG.
Introducing "Breaking Science": research that actually makes it OUT of the academic paywall and INTO your station. Fast. Clear. Actionable!

First up? A Game-Changing Study from Fire Firefighter Cancer Study (FFCCS) Researchers Who Tested 2,056 Firefighters to Determine What Raises and Lowers Exposure:

📊 THE FINDINGS:
-100% had PFAS in their blood
-Both personal choices AND department policies affect your levels
-Specific actions you can take RIGHT NOW to lower exposure

💡 THE MISSION OF "BREAKING SCIENCE": Stop waiting years for critical research to trickle down through conference slides. When important science drops, you should know about it NOW - not three years later in a hallway conversation.

🎯 THREE LEVELS OF ACCESS:
Quick one-page brief
Deeper-dive summary
Full academic paper (for the nerds)

Because science that sits on a shelf helps absolutely no one.
