For persons age 14-17 interested in being part of the Ronkonkoma Fire department:
Interested in one day becoming a firefighter? Want to learn more about fire fighting and fire prevention, or are you interested in receiving a college scholarship? If so we offer a Junior firefighter program (explorers). The explorers meet on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:30. At these meetings they learn about fire, use actual firefighting equipment, and learn about the EMS program. They are taught by our own volunteer firemen and EMS. Explorers also March in parades, and help at fund raisers, and during fire prevention week. If you are interested in this program call or come down to the firehouse and ask to speak with Roy Plume, or Maria Stadler.
