Explorer Post 100:

 

            In February of 2007, the Alexandria Fire District Explorer Post was established.  The program follows the “Learning for Life” through the Boy Scouts of America.  The purpose of this program is to get young kids involved in the fire service and when these Explorers attain the age of 18, they can become regular volunteer members of the Fire District.  The Explorers train on Wednesday evenings and are permitted to train with the regular members on Monday evening.  They do have limitations to what they are permitted to do training wise and are well supervised by the Fire District Advisor.  The Advisor from the Fire District is Lt. Seitz.  In 2009 the Explorers participated in multiple fire firefighter competitions to include the Kentucky FF Association Regional and State Olympics.  At the NKFA regional competition, Team 1 finished in first place and Team 2 finished in 3rd place.  In August Team 1 attended the State Firefighter Convention to defend their State Olympic Explorer Title. Unfortunately, Team 1 finished 2nd, and Team 2 finished 3rd in the competition. We are still very proud of our Explorers and look forward to them competing for many years to come. 

             Current Explorer members are Captain Danny Hildebrand, Lt. Travis Rauch, Lt. Brittany Wagner, Lt. D.J. Rogers, Safety Officer Justin Britton, Kurt, Bach, Josh Cummins, Eric Fleckinger, Matt Glenn, Elijah Meyer, Shaquana McGovern, Chris Pratt, Megan Rauch, Chris Schack, Josh Seitz, Kourtney Smith, and Courtney Turrene.  The Explorers continue to have a monthly “Youth Dance” held at the Community Center and Fire Station.  They continue their fund raising event with the address signs and assisted with the Santa on the Fire Truck and needy families at Christmas time. The Explorer program has been a great success and remains a very active part of the Fire District.
