MAJ Front & Center at the 2013 BCFD Thrill Show

The MAJ Foundation, in partnership with the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD), sponsored the 5th Annual Thrill Show on October 5^th at the Baltimore City Fire Academy.  With crowds teeming to get a close up look at demonstrations and fun activities geared at educating people of all ages on the importance of fire safety, this was an opportunity for MAJ to play a critical role in what is the largest public education event of the year.

Several controlled burns were held, but probably the biggest event that garnered the most interest was the “Firefighter Combat Challenge,” an entertaining event which tests firefighter contestants’ athletic and firefighting skills. 

Specifically for children:  moon bounces, craft tables, safety skill booths, magic show (put on by MAJ member Michael Worsham) and a Junior Fire Chief contest.

MAJ Foundation had 22 volunteers who assisted with food service and logistical support, and we thank them for their participation and those who made donations to the Foundation.
