How You Can Help
Denton Fire Department · Community Risk Reduction
A week-long summer day camp that builds confidence, teamwork, and a love of public service in Denton's young people — completely free for every camper.
Conducted by Denton's own professional firefighters in a structured setting, Fire Camp teaches teamwork, physical fitness, problem-solving, and the confidence that comes from doing hard things alongside people who believe in you.
Campers train on fire extinguishers, hose handling, basic first aid, and team-building challenges. Denton schools select the students, and the week ends with a graduation ceremony surrounded by family. Keeping it free for every family is only possible with community support — and the most direct way to help is by feeding the camp.
Sponsoring a meal is the simplest and most appreciated way to support Fire Camp. It puts your contribution directly in front of the campers and skips the paperwork entirely.
Provide lunch for the campers and instructors on any camp day, Monday through Thursday. Your business is recognized that day and across Denton Fire Department social media.
Cater the Friday graduation celebration where campers, families, and firefighters gather. The highest-visibility meal of the week, in front of the entire camp community.
You do not have to be local to feed the camp. Here is the easiest path:
Choose one of the Denton restaurants below. Each has catered Fire Camp before, so they already know the drill.
Contact the restaurant directly and arrange to purchase a meal for ~30 (a camp lunch) or ~75 (the family graduation).
Have the restaurant contact Captain Hunter Lott to lock in the delivery date and time.
The restaurant delivers to camp on the day. We handle the rest and make sure your business is recognized.
Give this to your driver. It is everything they need on the day.
Fire Station 7
4201 Vintage Blvd
Argyle, TX 76226
Deliver at 11:30 a.m. Crews break for lunch on a tight schedule, so a few minutes early is ideal.
Restaurants and delivery drivers can call Captain Hunter Lott at (940) 367-4222 when you are a few minutes out. A crew member will meet you at the bay doors.
