Fire Explorer program seeking recruits By Nicole Zappone The Citizen
The Northeast Fire Company in North Haven is home to the town's Fire Explorer program, which allows high school students to get a feel for what a career in emergency services looks like. Explorers are taught fire service history, and firefighter skills and safety. Also, they
take part in various drills, such as search and rescue and forcible entry. “Explorers regularly train on ropes and knots, PPE, SCBA, establishing a water supply, First Aid and more," the NHFD stated on social media. "The program reinforces being responsible and accountable for yourself, your team and lifesaving equipment.”
