Boca Raton Fire Explorer Program

---

Boca Raton Fire Recue Explorer Post 315 is a program for youth that are ages 14-21 who are interested in the Fire Service.  The goal of the program is to transform youth from a group of kids to an organization of young adults with discipline, dedication, and passion for the fire service.  We produce the most highly qualified and well-prepared candidates that the fire service could ever ask for.  
 
These young men and women will accomplish all of this while still in high school, by attending weekly meetings where we train and drill in firefighting operations and emergency medical services; all under the expertise of Boca Raton's Firefighter/Paramedics.  Our Fire Explorers also have the opportunity to participate in a ride-along program, in which they respond to emergency calls with our firefighter/paramedics. In addition, they also earn community service hours as we volunteer for various fire service activities as well as charity events throughout the community. 
 
The title "Fire Explorer" is earned, not given, and it is synonymous with hard work and professionalism. This organization teaches each Explorer discipline, self-reliance, responsibility, and brotherhood- all while preparing them for a career of service to their communities and their country. Anyone who has the privilege of earning that title will hold on to life lessons and apply them to anything that they choose to pursue, whether in the fire service, college, or other career opportunity.
