Pittsford Fire Department Explorer Post 595

The Pittsford Fire Department Explorer Post 595 offers youth in our community hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn what it takes to be a volunteer or full-time firefighter. Explorers receive fire service training under supervision of trained firefighters, designed to give participants experience, discipline, and knowledge – not only to foster an interest in firefighting as a possible career choice, but to give them leadership experience and self-confidence that can be applied to any future career field.

Fire Explorers will:

  • Have fun and exciting hands-on career experiences
  • Improve their critical thinking and gain self-confidence
  • Learn important leadership skills
  • Have access to community service opportunities
  • Develop and expand a social network
  • Be presented with college & career readiness preparation & scholarship opportunities
