The North Las Vegas Fire Department, and Local 1607, in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America, have created a Fire Explorer Program. Exploring helps to expose young adults to different career fields, including the Fire Service. This Program is not intended to be a direct recruiter for future firefighters, but rather to give young men and women an inside look into the exciting profession of firefighting.
Explorers attend weekly meetings and can participate in various programs.
This program helps Explorers gain experience by assisting firefighters and the fire department in a non hazardous capacity. Fire Explorers are also encouraged to attend seminars, take college level Fire Science courses, and participate in departmental and Explorer Post events. Subsequent processing will follow, with the applicant being notified of the dates, times, and status of their application.
