On May 18, 2002 at Coney Island in Cincinnati, Ohio the Tri-State Fire Exploring Committee and the Dan Beard Council of the Boy Scouts of America sponsored their annual Fire Explorer Competition.

This was part of the Dan Beard Council's Family Jamboree.

Numerous Posts attended and competed in skills that ranged from First Aid, to cribbing a car to ventilation. The number of Explorers present was impressive and Post 706's Advisors were fortunate enough to judge the Obstacle Course.
