The Fire District's Fire Explorer Post 540 was established in 1997.  The Explorer Post gives youths between the ages of 16 and 21 the opportunity to explore the various career opportunities available in the fire service.  Explorers receive both hands-on and classroom training.  Once an Explorer can demonstrate that they have the necessary skills and meet the qualifications, they can join firefighters on ride-alongs to observe actual emergency calls.  Click here to download a program brochure which details the recruitment process and includes an interest form that can be submitted in anticipation of an upcoming recruitment.  For additional questions, please e-mail the Explorer Post Advisor.
