Well, our 2023-2024 season is officially over and, in the books, as it wrapped up this past Friday at the Minnesota State Fair Governors Fire Prevention Day.
Our group of Explorers competed against other Explorer posts from around the state in an all-day firefighter skills competition. We want to thank our Explorers for their hard work training all summer for this big event, as well as the dedication from our Advisors to help train and mentor them along the way. Thank you for representing Spring Lake Park, Blaine, Mounds View Fire Dept. and our community, and know we are pound of your efforts. Parents, we thank you as well for your assistance getting them to and from trainings, community events, and meetings all year long.
We are excited to announce that we had three of our Explorers make it to the big stage as finalists for the individual PPE Gear Donning event at the days end. Explorer Adam took home third place, congratulations Adam!
As if Friday's State Fair day wasn't enough, crews Sunday were invited to join the Explorer post from the City of Oak Grove to participate in a vehicle prop fire simulator. We want to thank the Oak Grove Fire Explorers for the invitation as these trainings do not happen very often.
While our season just ended, our new 2024-2025 season begins next month already! If you know anyone who may be interested in joining out post, please mark your calendars for our Open House informational session held at our Fire Station 3 in Blaine on Sunday September 15th, 2024.
Look for our advertising flyer coming out soon on all our social media platforms and our website, www.sbmfire.org
