The North Greece Fire Department Explorer Post #702 is a program that introduces area youth to the vocation of the fire service. Using Fire Department volunteer personnel, we create practical drills and situations in which to learn from. Our Explorers are given opportunities to train in similar fashion as volunteer firefighters. This training not only assists the community; it also builds teamwork skills.

We are also a program that is closely associated with the Boy Scouts of America. Due to this, we are charged with a portion of the development of youth into future adults. This becomes possible with the expansion of their minds through education and practical learning situations.
The post is a youth-led organization. The youth officers are elected and activities are planned and implemented based on the resources of the organization, adult committee members, parents, and consultants. Each Explorer starts the post on a six month probation period. This period is a chance for the new youth to learn the Post’s work schedule. It gives them a grace period for this learning with no expectations placed upon them except attendance.
