The Explorer Program provides opportunities for high school aged individuals (15-21) who are interested in learning/exploring different careers. Clackamas Fire District #1 believes that Exploring is a first and crucial step in beginning the journey to becoming a professional firefighter. Clackamas Fire District #1 is committed to providing our Explorers with the most realistic experience possible. The Explorer program is designed and will function similar to a Fire Science/Fire Academy, and will focus on the following areas: Application/Interview Process, Basic Firefighter Skills, Academic Requirements, Advancement Process, Resume Building, Public Relations, Emergency Response and Crew Dynamics/Interaction.
