110 floors. Every step climbed in remembrance, respect, and honor for the heroes of 9/11. Their legacy lives on.

Firefighter Smith, Paramedic Hand, Firefighter Bango, and Firefighter Hughes led a very meaningful meeting.

🚒 This past Thursday our Explorers kicked things off with a vigorous PT session led by LT Waldrup and FF Bango 💪🔥. Afterwards, we dove into pumper operations training led by FF Hughes, AEMT Hand, and LT Waldrup. We were excited to have 5 students join us—we hope they continue to come back and eventually become members of Post 700!

We're open to all 14-17 year old students! We meet every Thursday. DM us if you're interested in becoming a member of Post 700!

On Thursday Explorers had the opportunity to speak with Airlife and SWAT. Post 700 extends their gratitude to Coweta County Sheriff's Office (Georgia) and Air Methods Airlife 4 Newnan for your time and knowledge!!

Explorers meet every Thursday from 5:30-8:00. We are open to 14-17 year old boys and girls to join! Contact us for more information.

Honoring a remarkable woman whose heart and generosity knew no bounds. Her unwavering dedication to our community and support of the Explorers will never be forgotten. Her legacy lives on in the young lives she touched and the future she helped shape. Rest in peace, and thank you for everything. We love you Mrs. Norma

AEMT Michela Hand, FF Dawson Hughes, and Explorer Lt Abby Wright recently visited Mrs. Kemps class at the Central Education Center and taught her First Responder Classes along with her Healthcare Calsses about the Explorers Program along with its benefits. Post 700 even had 6 visitors from her class our next meeting!

Change of Command

At the beginning of the year, Coweta County Explorer Post 700 endured a change of command. Command was formally passed from Lieutenant Daniel Barr and Firefighter Mathew Marchbank to Firefighter Dawson Hughes and Firefighter Creighton Smith. After many years of exceptional leadership and guidance, Lieutenant Barr and Firefighter Marchbank have laid a solid foundation for the Post’s success. We are excited to see how the program will continue to grow and thrive under the new leadership. Congratulations gentlemen, this is well deserved.

As the weather gets cooler, Post 700 gets the joy of more fierce PT in gear!

Thursday Explorers trained on patient drags and carries along with Firefighter rescue drags and carries! A very important skill used daily!

The Explorers had an amazing opportunity to get their CPR Certifications. Paramedic Pickett, Paramedic East, AEMT Hand, and FF Hughes led an amazing course and gave Post 700 skills and knowledge that can be used for years to come.
