PORT CHESTER — The next generation of village firefighters hasn’t graduated from high school yet, but they are already learning how to save lives as part of a youth program recognized Sunday as best in the state.

Established as a “farm system” to attract future first responders, teenage members of Explorer Post No. 700 provide support to firefighters responding to a variety of emergency-related calls. They also receive lessons in fire suppression, vehicle extrication and even represent the department at public events.

Their commitment to firefighting has earned them the distinction of youth group of the year from the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York, which represents the interests of the more than 92,000 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical personnel.
