On this Day in the Life we feature the South Metro Fire Rescue Explorers.
Through the program, explorers get the opportunity to learn how to use most of the equipment used in fire fighting and learn about the demands of the career. Some of the things they learn include, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), ropes and knots, hose management and water supply, how to safely carry, place, and climb ladders, basic emergency management training and live fire training. Explorers may also ride along with SMFR crews.

Video captured and produced by high school film intern Davin Hendee

Fire Explorer from the City of Chula Vista here, it's super awesome to see how another departments program does stuff differently from throwing PPE's and SCBA to even just the model Air Paks used.

I myself was a Fire Explorer when I was in high school. One of the 6 original members. 3 of us had relatives in emergency services while growing up so we joined. I was the first to graduate out but chose not go into the profession full bore but maintained friendships and relationships as I had known some of the department members my whole life so we became more family. Now years later, I became a Fire Photographer in my area and am currently serving 3 departments in my county plus have access to assist 2 more when called. Great job Explorers and South Metro!!

what were the step to be a Fire Explore

@jessesprecher3257 Год назад

I wish there was a program like this for people that got out of high school. I’m 23 and have been looking for a program like this

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Год назад

Most Explorer programs have an age cap at 21, but you could research volunteer firefighter opportunities near you.

Explorer form Montevallo Fire here, that’s one sick program you guys got! We actually had our weekend this last February at the fire college. I can’t imagine what it’s like with your facilities!

@QemeH Год назад

They already got the signature firefighter hip-shake :D Before I was one myself I always thought it was kinda cute - then I did it myself for 12 years - and now I tease the FD boys with it when I'm sitting in my truck on medical standby :D

As an explorer from a different state to we also have project days we learn a lot of great thing’s

@seanhennessy3739 Год назад

Really great video. I started out as a Police Explorer in AZ. I loved it and it prepared me for the job that I loved and where I retired as a K9 Supervisor. I’m encouraging my son and daughter to join either the police or fire explorer program in my area. Once again, what a great video.

Amazin program. In Victoria, Australia, we have a similar program for kids from the age of 13 to 16 they can learn the basic before they join the organization, Did the program before joining currently 19 and be in the service for about 6 years

@LakesRegionEmergencyPhoto Год назад

This looks like an awesome program for the young folks in SMFRs district. Keeps em busy and they will learn a lot!

Mad do I wish I had this option. Although in high school I wanted to be a computer guy in the FBI lol. Now I am half way through my paramedic school and I’m doing the academy after. I’ll never stop saying how this job truly is a blessing. Would have never thought I’d have done the things I have. Go after it!

This is incredible I’m a firefighter explorer with the Evanston fire department in Illinois and this is literally what I’ve done for a while now and I still get chills

@johnm4579 4 месяца назад

Nice video guys, I'm a volunteer FF for forty years on LI- NY and started training our explorers in 1980's and years later it's still going strong. Some of explorers stay to become firefighters and emt's or medic's and others go off to college. But overall we do get some who stay involved for the long haul and few of them have gone on to be chief's in the dept. and others went to FDNY. It's a good program to get young people involved with the community and helping others. good job, well done !

Oh much of our rescue I watch all your videos of you actually tell me a lot about firefighters I like a emergency vehicle I like paramedics police cars and firetrucks. I love all your videos your actions by me to be a firefighter when I grow up so thank you for giving us a amazing videos.

This looks so entertaining I can’t wait to graduate high school in a few years looking forward to being a firefighter!

Love to see a department that supports the explorer program and volunteer opportunities. There's tension between full-timers and the vollies where I am, and it definitely impacted our explorer program

Such a neat way for youth who are thinging of a fire service career to get involved. I would love to see a day in a staff chief or chief of department or assistant chief vieo eventually.

@heathersherer7086 Год назад

love this need for more fire explorer videos maybe explorer ride along vids?

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Год назад

Thanks! If we can find an Engine with enough seating for the firefighters, an explorer and the PIO, we would definitely like to tell that story!

@joshuaboggs1058 Год назад

Great video! Much respect to those explorers and the staff training them! So cool! It makes me want to move back to Colorado just to see this and South Metro in action!

@anthonybarber869 Год назад

Around the states they have junior programs i started when I was 14 seen lots of fire while under 18 in PA i know junior firefighters can take the basic pa fire skills aka mods and be qualified for exterior firefighting ops. The explorer program is nice tho I think the paid departments around here should do it

@carson1795 Год назад

They easily got the biggest explorer budget out there

@Jaydogb300 Год назад

What happens to the cadets after they are done with the explore program

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Год назад

Many Explorers will choose to apply for firefighter positions at South Metro once they're 18-years old. Others will pursue firefighting or medical careers elsewhere, and some will decided that this career isn't what they want to do in life.

@TrentonSkinner-tc6xk 2 месяца назад

I’m a fire explorer in Dayton Ohio and I’m probably the youngest one in that program I’m 14

@phoenixnichols8694 Год назад

does any one know what that “hose” is that connects to the truck is called/for?

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Год назад

The hose inside the fire station garage connects the vehicle exhaust pipe to a ventilation system that vacuums fumes out of the building. It helps keep the air inside the station cleaner and safer.

@rickimidnight6872 Год назад

I have a question why do the wiggle every time the air tank beeps I think it is the air tank and is there a fire explarer progam in AZ

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Год назад

The air tank beeps because it doesn't sense motion. That safety feature ensures that other firefighters will hear an alarm and react to an injured or unconscious firefighter. The motion sensors are located along the lower back waist strap and wiggling will deactivate the pre-alarm. After 30 seconds the alarm will peak at full volume and must be manually shut off using button clicks on the shoulder strap.

@walleyworld4362 Год назад

Does this course Certify you as well? I took my Fire 1 and 2 at a community college that is paired with the actual fire department so we got the full training and certifications. But as I read and am assuming I read this right, this is a highschool class so do they certify you with this course?

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Год назад

The Explorers don't receive a firefighting certification, but their training is based on IFSTA skills so it's great fire academy prep.

@walleyworld4362 Год назад

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thats still really good training, I wish my highschool had a program like that. Good luck to all of them and you!
