junior explorers/ junior firefighters

My department is wanting to start a formal junior firefighter or junior explorer program and I'm interested in reading about other departments programs and possibly obtaining a copy of the by-laws. If anyone could help me out on this so I can take pilot course or something of that nature back to out board and present I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone,
Nate

Hi Nathan,
My dept. is also looking at starting a junior/explorer program and even though we do not have our own set of bylaws for that subject. Someone from this site sent me a copy of theirs a few months back and I found them to be very helpful... Hope they help you too...

Comment by Nathan Smith on October 18, 2009 at 9:55pm: it's pretty much the same here but wv allows 16 and 17 year olds to take some of the classes and get an idea of what the fire service is going to be like. they arent allowed to run any calls with the exception of brush fires but thats solely the descretion of the fire chief.

Comment by Brandon Dove on October 18, 2009 at 9:51pm: Well im up here in Indiana but here nobody can get certified unless your 18......Which means nobody under 18 can run a call on any apparatus due out with lights and sirens.........
