We're looking forward to debriefing on the Explorer competition from Governors Fire Prevention Day at our MN-FEA meeting tonight at 7pm. As we prepare for the meeting, it was great to look at some of the pictures Public Safety Photographer took of the great things the Explorers did this year. Roseville Fire Department - Minnesota Fire Explorers demonstrated vehicle extrication, several posts had Explorers with impressive gear donning times, and teams worked together to accomplish difficult tasks. Nice work all!

Spring Lake Park OEC in collaboration with Northern Star Exploring is offering a technical rescue camp from July 30-August 2 at Fridley Fire Station 1.

The four-day event features a multitude of topics, exercises and training including ropes, webbing, harnesses and hardware; lowering systems; rescue knots, anchors and rigging; patient evacuation skills and scenarios; mechanical advantage systems; steep angle systems; a rescue team challenge and more. To maintain a four-to-one Explorer to Instructor ratio, enrollment is limited to twelve Explorers.

The camp is only $25. Register soon - the deadline has been extended but we expect the spots to fill quickly.
