Joplin Fire Explorers
Young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20 are invited to become Fire Explorers with the Joplin Fire Explores Post #0618.
Learn first-hand how exciting the firefighters job is by working side-by-side with actual Joplin Firefighters. Following an introductory training program, Fire Explorers respond to real emergencies with firefighters and paramedics, and assist them by performing routine, supervised tasks. Fire Explorers assist with virtually all routine tasks in the community and around the fire station, including community relations, fire prevention, equipment and station maintenance, and training.
Fire Explorers wear a uniform, and are provided with helmets, turnouts, and other safety clothing. They are welcome members of the fire stations where they volunteer.
Becoming a Fire Explorer is an excellent way to develop qualities and gain experience that will be helpful in nearly any field of endeavor.

To become a Fire Explorer, candidates must be between 14 and 20 years of age, have parental consent (if younger than 18 years of age), complete the required introductory training, and must abide by the JFD's rules of conduct and department guidelines.
