Being a firefighter, rock star, police officer or doctor are often the exciting careers that children dream of as they are growing up. The excitement of these careers are spurred on by the dramatized portrayals in movies and TV. These youthful dreams however, soon fade and most children out grow their desires and settle into other equally important but less glamorized career paths.For some the passion never leaves them and as they reach the age that a job choice needs to be made, they continue their personal dreams and become the stuff that dreams are made of. For Lieutenant Kelvin T. Bell, that dream of being a firefighter never left. In 1986 Bell became a professional firefighter in Seattle Washington. Bell realized that being a firefighter in training is not as glamorous as it seems in the exciting TV and movie roles that are often seen. “It is a rewarding career, but a challenging one.” Bell says, “When a young person is looking at a career of being a firefighter they often only see the exciting parts. The rushing to an active fire scene with screaming sirens and flashing lights, putting down monstrous flames of a fully engulfed burning building, the rewards of saving lives are all part of being a firefighter. They are not the normal everyday occurrences of a professional firefighter encounter”. Bell decided to give youth who are thinking about pursuing a career in public safety, a positive and truthful look at firefighting. Bell wanted to realistically show the vigorous training and dedication that is involved in being a firefighter. He wanted to also answer the various questions that come up about the profession. “I began thinking how could I have the biggest impact on young people and guide them along?” Bell questioned and then stated. “The answer came to me. If I put together a website that answered questions, and had videos to visually impact and give the ability for the young people to personally contact me, with questions they may have I could reach far more than just a few here in the Seattle area. That is when the idea for the FirefighterCamp.com came to me.” The site contains a simple nine step action plan that asks and answers the questions that most commonly come up when considering a firefighting career. The website states that; “It is a simple, down to earth guide on how to become a firefighter, as well as a motivational tool for doing so. It is based on insider advice and industry know-how from professionals who are currently embracing this challenging but rewarding career. After reading this guide, my promise is that you’ll have the edge you need in order to become a firefighter and to make it in this competitive industry.

It gives a clear easy to understand view from the inside, presenting carefully thought out question for you to answer to determine if this is the right career choice for you. It will help anyone considering embarking on the challenging and competitive career of professional firefighting.
