Champaign County Fire Chief’s Association Explorers Post 31

Come out and see Bondville Fire at the Touch a Truck at Lincoln Trail elementary school, and ask this guy about becoming an Explorer.
14-17 year of age are allowed to join.

Come check out our new page- like and follow us as we move into 2025.
And if you have a child in the Champaign area that is looking for a challenging career after high school tell them to come talk to us about Firefighting and EMS.
After January of 2025 this page will go away.

Another great day of Explorers hands on training. Basic extracation was today’s topic.
Special thanks to Greg Fisher, Greg Bradley and Trae King and the Savoy Fire Department

Happy Birthday Advisor Trae King

Congratulations to one of our senior members of the post.

UPDATE: Chad, Cole's dad, asked when SJO last had a State Proficiency Winner. I did some digging this afternoon. Unless the state archives are incorrect, the last SJO winner was Mike Miller in 1984, and he was only the fourth winner (and that includes SJO, Ogden, and St. Joseph)! 😳 FFA members, let's not wait another 40 years for the next State Proficiency winner!

WINNER WINNER!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Cole is the 2023-2024 STATE WINNER in the area of Ag Mechanics Repair & Maintenance Placement for his job at Shaff Implements! He will represent SJO, Section 17, District 4, and the State of Illinois at the NATIONAL level!

WAY TO GO COLE!!!!
