Explorers Visit the Fire International Expo in Dallas

On March 31st 2007, Explorer Post 401 headed to Dallas for an intense day of fun, learning, and competition. The Post, which is sponsored by TCESD#2, made its second showing at the annual Dallas Games. The event features 8 different obstacles that explorers must complete for time against some 150 other youths from across Texas. The post sent 9 members and they performed very well placing 3rd in both the SCBA relay and physical ability events. Explorers train year round for the event and their hard work paid off again this year. I want to thank the advisors and TCESD#2 admin staff for making the experience happen. The post is for high school age youth and meets twice a month, for more information check out www.Pflugervillefire.com or contact nperkins@pflugervillefire.com .
Fire Service Exploring is a worksite-based program for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21 years of age. Fire Service Explorer posts help youth gain insight into a variety of programs that offer hands-on career activities. For young men and women who are interested in careers in the field of fire service, Exploring offers experiential learning with lots of fun-filled, hands-on activities that promote the growth and development of adolescent youth. Explorer Post 401, sponsored by the Pflugerville Fire Department, is located on the corner of Pecan and Railroad Street in downtown Pflugerville. Meetings are on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 p.m. Come on down and see what Exploring has to offer.

Pflugerville Fire Department Explorer Post 401 at Dallas Games
“On April 8th the Pflugerville Fire Department Explorer Post 401 headed to Dallas for the annual Dallas Games. It is a statewide event that brings explorer posts from all across the state to meet and compete in several fire fighting events. There were 22 fire departments represented and over 100 participants. This was the first time that the Pflugerville Post attended, but they performed like seasoned competitors. The competition was fierce, but the team of five from Pflugerville brought their "A" game and landed a 2nd place finish in the Search and Rescue and a 3rd place finish in the individual Written Exam. This was quite an accomplishment since this was the first time the post participated in the event and they had a much smaller team than the rest of the competition. Special thanks goes out to Adam Tabor, Warren Langston, Pat and Charlene Moore for helping prepare the explorers for the event. The post also wants to thank Chief Moellenberg for his support especially for this event. As the explorer post advisor I also want to say how proud I am of the post for putting in the work and giving their all at the event. I look forward to next year” Captain Nick Perkins TCESD#2, Pflugervillefire Department Station 1, "C" Shift
