The Explorer Program provides our members an understanding and insight into all phases of the Fire Service as a possible career through training and to allow them to obtain knowledge and experience while working in a team environment.

The Explorer program is organized in conjunction with the Ada Fire Department, Johnsonville Fire Department, Haven Fire Department, Cleveland Fire Department, and Howards Grove Fire Department. They are formally know as the 5 Star Explorers. Follow them on Facebook here.

Exploring is an enjoyable learning experience.  Members do many new and interesting things together as a coed group of young adults. They learn how fire departments function inside and out and how to operate tools and equipment in a safe and team-like atmosphere.

In emergency services, operating professionally and portraying a positive image to the community is vital.

The group meets once a month a various fire stations.

Explorer Program is open anyone 14 to 18 years of age.

New members are always welcome.

Call or e-mail your local department chief.
