Lake Carmel FD Explorers will be hosting their 2nd fundraiser at Applebee's in Brewster on Feb 20th from 4-9pm, they receive 10% off all bills that participate in program. All money raised will go towards new uniforms and training at Montour Falls. Last year they made over $500, thanks to all that helped.

just curious....how many members do they have and what are their capabilities or restrictions as explorers?...and they're under the Boy Scouts..correct?

[fitzjr11 17]

We currently have 19 members, who are under the boy scout explorers they do not respond to calls or do live burn training.

if there is a working fire in your village can the juniors assist then?

Why did Lake Carmel choose to go with an explorers program rather then a Junior Corps? Im just wondering what the deciding factors were.

The LCFD Explorer program started back in the 70's. Due to a strong membership the department never addressed the issue. We have over 120 members although more help is always welcome we don't seem to run into a major manpower problem were we would change the explorers status. From time to time they are called to the scene of an incident but it doesn't happen very often. Last year we had a large brush fire and they were called in to help out.
