Fire Rescue Explorers Program

Sunrise Fire-Rescue has sponsored the Fire Explorer program since becoming a full-time paid department 40 years ago. The Fire Explorer program is a career development opportunity for young men and women, ages 14 to 18, who are interested in pursuing a career in the fire service. Explorers are required to attend weekly meetings throughout the school year, during which they are introduced to the basics of the Fire-Rescue, including CPR and first aid, firefighting techniques, hazardous material recognition, and an introduction to advanced life support.

Applications are accepted May through July, in order to be reviewed in time for each new session starting in August.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

For more information on CERT, please contact Miguel Ascarrunz at  mascarrunz@sunrisefl.gov.
