Exploring Post 31 members are committed to community service and
spent Saturday June 19th working on a couple of their projects. The
group began the morning by cleaning up the adopted one mile of
Stuebner Airline between Spring Cypress and FM 2920. The group
signed up for regular trash pick-up along this mile of roadway. They
have been providing this type of community service for a year now.
The group then held a food drive at Klein Station 33 to collect
non-perishable food to be donated to a local food pantry. The post
advisors treated
the
group to hot dogs, chips, drinks and cookies for their hard work.
Local residents and members of the fire department dropped off food
during the food drive. The group collected 400 lbs of food and boxed
it up for delivery to the food pantry.
The post was established in April 2003 with 4 members and currently
has 10 active members. Post members meet twice a month on the first
and last Monday of each month. If you are interested in finding out

Members of the KVFD Exploring Post 31
completed some recent hands on training covering the proper use of
fire extinguishers and rescue tools. Each member had the opportunity
to participate in a live fire burn after first attending training on
the proper use of fire extinguishers. Klein members demonstrated the
proper use of the rescue tools then allowed the post members to
operate the tools. Training classes are held at each of the post
meetings, the first and last Monday of each month. Up coming
training include Search and Rescue, Fire Streams and Hoses.
