The Explorers train on many different aspects of the fire service. We practice on average two times a month, and also get to work with the Fire Department. We work not only side by side with each other, but with the firefighters and officers as well, to get a better understanding of how to work at a fire. This also brings camaraderie and team work together.

At the training we work on:

Donning and doffing or personal protective

     equipment

Using hand tools

Putting up ladders

Working with charged hose lines

Rescue

Pumping operations

Fire attack

The Fire Department Explorer Post 2911 are a group of teenage youth devoted to the fire service and serving our community. The post trains teenagers ages 14-21 about the many aspects of fire fighting. Training include topics such as ladders, hand tools, and advancing hoses. The post supports the “active” fire department at fire calls, and supports the community through our many public service events.
