PURPOSE
Fire Explorers are expected to attend meetings, training sessions and activities on a
regular basis.
APPLICATION
Meetings will be held every other Saturday, from 0800 to 1200 hours. The meetings
will typically be held at the Fresno Fire Department (FFD or Department) Training
South classroom at Fresno and E Street, behind Fire Station 3. It may be necessary
to meet elsewhere, and at different dates and times, to accommodate training or
specific activities.
Note: Additional meeting dates may be added or changed to meet the needs
of the FFD and the Explorer Post.
OPERATIONAL POLICY
Explorers will have all assigned personal protection equipment at each meeting and
available for inspection.
Explorers will complete absence requests prior to the start of each meeting if they are
not able to attend. Late arrivals will not be accepted in the meetings without prior
notice or reasonable excuse.
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE
Meetings begin at exactly 0800 hours. Explorers should arrive early to assist with the
preparations for the meeting. Explorers who miss meetings without notification will be
counseled by the Post Advisor. Three missed, unexcused meetings will require a
review by the Post Advisor and subject to dismissal. Any long term absences must
be approved by the Post Advisor.

Website. Explorers who are unable to access the form may also contact the Post
Advisor prior to the meeting to notify an absence.
