The Charlotte Fire Department Explorer Post will host its 39th annual open house at the Charlotte Police and Fire Department Training Academy on Saturday, September 25, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Its primary purpose is to provide fire service career awareness to young men and women ages 10-20 years of age. Nearly 700 kids and young adults have enjoyed the memorable experience of learning what it takes to become a firefighter. This hands-on experience is accomplished through a program that utilizes classroom lectures, practical applications, and opportunities to ride along with fire crews. Our program seeks to instill in each Explorer member the importance of being a good team member, a responsible citizen, and striving to be the best that they can be.
