Training for you

The Hamilton Fire Department offers great training for the Businesses and Citizens of Hamilton.

Fire Explorer Program: This program, associated with the Boy Scouts of America, is geared for young men and women in the community who are 15 years of age or older. It provides opportunities for young people to develop leadership skills and work alongside career firefighters, volunteer firefighters, and fire prevention officers, assisting them with public education activities. Explorers typically meet at the fire station on Tuesday night following the regular fire drill, training and assisting with special assignments, such as open houses and community events. The program offers successful participants an opportunity for membership as a volunteer once they reach the age of 21. For additional information, call 205-921-2877 or click here for email contact
