Explorers participate in training with other members of the department as well as getting together as a group to set their own agenda and training topics. Explorers obtain training in firefighter safety, fire behavior, rescue and vehicle extrication, salvage and overhaul, operating hose lines, and water supply. Additional training includes CPR certification, and Emergency Medical Training. Any young man or woman at least 15 years old who lives within the Harrods Creek Fire Protection District boundaries who may be interested in our Explorer program, to come to the station for a tour and to find out more about our program. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter, we want to talk to you.
Today there is an ever increasing demand for volunteers to assist numerous organizations.
We at Harrods Creek Fire Department recognize that the demand on a person's personal time can be quite exhausting and greatly appreciate the time and effort of our volunteers. The fire service has been and still is a predominately volunteer organization throughout the United States. With the help of the volunteers in our community, as well as the young people involved in our Explorer Post, Harrods Creek Fire Department can continue to provide the best fire protection available to the families and businesses in our district.
