At a brief Tuesday night meeting, members of Camden City Council were treated to a presentation by the Camden Fire Department’s (CFD) Explorer Post 911. CFD Chief John Bowers said the young people who are part of the Explorer post are an “important part of our department; we struggle with our numbers in the area of recruitment and retention and part of our process to try to solve those problems is to get young people introduced to the fire service early to whet their appetites. Some will love it but move on to other things, but some will stay and make it their career.”
