Programs & Education

Badd Axe Ladies

Badd Axe Ladies is a hands-on job shadow program that was created in 2022 by Carbondale Firefighters Abby Burnham and Courtney Looft to give girls ages 16+ a chance to come and see what a career in the fire service is like. The highlight of this program is taking the girls through a skills day where they can do real training in full firefighting gear, all culminating in a live fire training exercise.
