Explorer Post
The Central Fire Protection District #4 (Central Fire District) Explorer Post 300 is a program sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America for youth in the Central Community that have an interest in the fire service. This program is designed to educate those youths about various opportunities, responsibilities, and objectives of the Central Fire District, and the Fire Service in general.
The Central Fire District’s Explorers receive training and instruction from Explorer Post Advisor on the various skills required within the fire service such as: CPR; First Responder; and Fire Rookie School. All Central Fire District Explorers are given the opportunity and are encouraged to pursue a college education and career within the fire service.
After completing the necessary training, Explorers will have the opportunity to respond to emergency calls on various department apparatus while under the supervision of qualified department personnel. Explorers will also be able to take part in parades, assist in fire prevention education within the community. Currently the explorer post meets for approximately twice a month at the Central Fire Department Headquarters located at 11646 Sullivan Rd. The post is supervised by a committee of members from the Central Fire Department including the Fire Chief, the training officer, and other members of the department. Post Advisor Brian Lawson can be reached at kdunham@centralfd.org .
