Explorer Post #55

The Salinas Rural Fire District in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America established Explorer Post #55 in 1995. The purpose is to expose local youth to a positive program, while training for a career in the Fire Service. The goal is to provide each explorer with an opportunity to experience Fire District operations, adult leadership and encouragement to succeed in their education.

Explorer Post #55 has 12 positions for high school students ranging in ages from 14 to 19 years of age. The program operates under guidelines set forth under a Standard Operating Procedure approved by Fire Chief Steven Negro. All rules and regulations are approved by the Boy Scouts Of America.
