Advisor - Royer Pfersick - 533-9123

HISTORY: The Rush FD Explorer Post was started in 1975. We had 25 kids at that time. Oscar Dell was the first post advisor. Over the years the post has provide some excellent firefighters and EMTs.  Two are NYS Troopers, (Jon Faugh & Mike Burdett), one is a Dansville PD / Livingston Co. Sheriff officer and East Avon FD (Jeff Faugh),  one is an Odgen Police Officer (Rob Anderson), one is a Sgt. in the Avon PD & Asst. Chief at Clifton FD (Peter Henry) and the others are all firefighters where they live.  Several other explorers that moved from Rush are involved in other FDs or Ambulance Services. The present Fire Chief, (Dale Sweet) Asst. Fire Chief (Jim McNeil) and  both House Captains (Mike Terzo & Rob Anderson)  were explorers. We have male and female advisors and ALL have been trained by the BSA local council.

We are looking for new explorers - Boys and Girls between 14 and 21 years old. Learn first aid, CPR,  how to used an automatic defribrillator, fights fires and operate rescue  equipment like the "jaws of life". The only thing an explorer cannot do is go into a burning building. We provide the equipment and all the training. It not all work and no play, there are social functions and educational trips to places that the general public only hears about. They drill with the firefighters and also hold their own meetings and drills. They learn valuable emergency skills and procedures that may save YOUR life. Contact the advisor for more information.
