   The Clayton County Fire & Emergency Services Explorer Post 701 strives to give young men and women the opportunity to explore career choices and learn about the fire and EMS services.
 
   We accomplish this by conducting weekly training sessions in which Explorers learn techniques used by firefighters.  The goal of the cadets of Post 701 is to earn the privilege of riding on a real emergency call. This is key to learning about the daily life of a firefighter.  Explorers who have earned ride-along privileges can respond to calls and assist at emergency scenes.

   It also benefits our department by allowing us to evaluate potential recruits that could be hired when they reach the age of 18. There have been over 20 Explorers hired into emergency services since exploring started in 1990.
