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

| “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”
