Colleton County Fire-Rescue's Explorer Post (# 661) was organized in the Fall of 2007. Our post is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America and follows their strict guidelines. Explorers are ages 15 through 17 and are allowed to complete basic firefighting courses through the South Carolina Fire Academy and Emergency Medical Technician-Basic through South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. The purpose of the Explorer Program is to guide those interested in a fire-rescue career. |
