About Explorers Fire Academy

The Fire Explorer Program is dedicated to inspiring and guiding the youth of our community while developing the next generation of firefighters and emergency medical professionals. Participants explore careers in firefighting and emergency medical services, gaining firsthand experience to help them decide if public safety is the right path for them. The program is open to high-school students ages 14–18 and classes take place in the evening, twice a month, throughout the school year.

Through these experiences, Explorers develop leadership, communication, and teamwork skills—all while learning in a professional and supportive environment.

Our goal is to provide a realistic introduction to fire department operations while promoting learning, responsibility, and personal growth.

Becoming a Fire Explorer means more than just learning about firefighting—it’s about building confidence, serving your community, and discovering your future. If you have any other questions, please email prevention@huttofire.gov
