Fire Explorer Program

Overview

Fire Explorers are given the opportunity to serve their community, through a safe, nurturing environment, where meaningful learning experiences are developed to establish positive character traits.

Exploring is based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education and leadership experience. Emphasis is placed on safety, learning and opportunities for the participants.
