Membership in Post 788 is limited to 15 members at a time. We accept new members once a year, usually in December. The application process works like this:

Applications accepted year round.

End of November/early December applicants are notified of time and place for a "First Nighter". During the "First Nighter" prospective members and their parents are invited to hear about the Post and ask any questions they may have. After the presentation period prospective members will be interviewed to assess their attitude, level of interest, background and general desire. Usually more people apply than there are positions available for, the interview is a tool to help us to pick new members.

Two-three weeks after the First Nighter letters are sent out to all applicants notifying them of their status and any other pertinent information.

January- Basic training for new Explorers begins.

To apply for membership in Post 788 it is necessary to fill out a paper application form available at Fire Deptartment Headquarters: 1333 NW Eastman Py Gresham or complete this online form.
