Any children 14 -18 years of age are eligible to apply for membership.
Explorers are provided training and participate in a variety of drills, including live structure fire training. When members have reached a satisfactory level of competence, they are given a pager and allowed to respond to certain categories of calls where they perform support functions for the Fire Department and observe first-hand how the Department operates.
