SHARON FIRE & RESCUE EXPLORER POST

“Training the teens of today, for the Fire and EMS Service of tomorrow”

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Sharon Fire & Rescue Explorer Post is to educate youth between the ages of fourteen and eighteen in the areas of fire and emergency medicine. It is also the goal of the post to help the youth grow as people and develop skills that will help them throughout the rest of their lives.
