PCFD members showed the Explorer members how to use a hoseline properly and the tools that are used at a fire scene.
The Explorer program provides youth from the community a chance to learn about the role of the volunteer firefighter and provides them training on firefighting skills and techniques. The program is experiencing a resurgance in the Port Chester Fire Department.
