Fire and Emergency Services Exploring is a youth development program centered on fire and emergency service careers. Fire and Emergency Service Explorers might choose to visit fire schools, fire trade shows, musters, fire competitions, community presentation programs, first aid skills competition, and/or community disaster programs. The bottom line is that Fire and Emergency Service Exploring is an action-oriented, hands-on career or volunteer discovery program.”
