This program is intended for young men and women who are interested in pursuing firefighting as a career.
Students will learn the everyday activities of life as a firefighter, how to become a firefighter, and what is expected of firefighters. They will also learn the physical and educational requirements needed to obtain a career in the fire industry.
This program is intended for students between the ages of 13-18.
The students who wish to participate will receive education and training at Bonita Springs Fire-Rescue, Station One. Young men and women will work together as a team to complete training designated by their Coordinator, Firefighter Paul Devan. Firefighters can educate the group on the history of the fire department in Bonita Springs and individual firefighters can speak to the students about their own experience with the fire service and what they did to achieve their careers. Students can assist the firefighters with their daily activities and so will receive volunteer hour certificates to turn into their schools for graduation credit. Students can watch the training activities that are scheduled at the stations as firefighters narrate and provide education on the events. Explorers can participate in obstacle courses that will instruct them on what can be expected during the physical agility test required to become hired at any department and throughout their career as a firefighter. Students will receive a certificate of completion and a volunteer hours certificate.
Explorers meet once a week to continue their education and training and participate in competitions alongside other Explorer teams throughout the country. |
