Explorers
Granite Falls Fire Department offers an Explorer program through the Boy Scouts of America. The Explorer program offers a young adult between the ages of 14 and 18 the opportunity to train and learn about being a firefighter. This program is great for students that may have an interest in emergency services as a career. The Granite Falls Explorer program has been the cornerstone for many young adults achieving their goal of obtaining a career as a firefighter. Former participants in the Explorer program have gone on to become Fire Chiefs at three fire departments, a Captain at the Charlotte Fire Department, and fire professionals at several local fire departments.
If you are interested in becoming an Explorer please stop by the station to pick up an application.
