The week of April 8-14, Fire Explorers from the Menlo Park Fire Protection District, attended the California Fire Explorer Academy.
Each day of the fire academy consisted of 10 hours of physical training in different fire service trainings.
The California Fire Explorer Academy is a week-long, intense physical and mental fire explorer academy. Fire Explorers from across the states of California and Nevada come together and participate in this annual fire academy. This year’s fire academy was #45 and hosted 153 fire explorers from 31 fire departments.
This year’s academy covered:
• Auto Extrication
• Firefighter Skills
