Another local Department now has Explorers and they have a raffle going on. Go support them.

Check out North Charleston Fire Department Explorer Post 406! They are raffling a fire helmet! All proceeds will go directly to the NCFD Explorer Post #406 to pay for training opportunities, equipment and activities.

The Boy Scouts of America's Exploring exists to teach important life and career skills to young people from all backgrounds through immersive career experiences and mentorship. These explorers will be equipped with character, leadership and life skills that can be used both today and in their future careers.

Monday night we went over radio communications. The group was split into 2 teams and they had to work together to build a Lego airplane set. The twist was, 1 team had the instructions and the other had the Lego pieces and the had to use the radios to communicate the steps. When everything was done, they worked well together and we had a fully assembled airplane.

This is a great opportunity for junior firefighters to become certified in their first firefighting course; while living at the firehouse for 2 weeks. It's been a great opportunity for many young people over the last couple of years. Spread the word so we can get more to sign up.

Last night the Explorers learned how to manage bleeding through the use of direct pressure and tourniquets. They also learned and discussed the concept of the DHS run, hide, fight active shooter preparedness program. While it is a sensitive subject, it's important for them to know what to do. (https://www.dhs.gov/active-shooter-preparedness)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aims to enhance preparedness through a ”whole community” approach by providing training, products, and resources to a broad range of stakeholders on issues such as active shooter awareness, incident response, and workplace violence.

We're proud of our group of young adults for their performance yesterday in Columbia. We spent the morning learning about the different classes the SC Fire Academy has and then spent the afternoon competing against other Junior/Explorer Posts from the State. Even though we did not bring home a trophy, this group of young adults showed up, did their best and enjoyed the day. We can't eat until next year to return.
