Good morning, here is the news:
Continuing Education—Both sessions of the hose
loading class are still open:
The time has now been set at 10am—12pm, Sunday 16 September
and Sunday, 30 September. Both sessions will be held at NTC. There
is some physical activity involved with this one. Basically we will be
learning how to properly re-pack the hose on a fire engine. Normally the
pumper's Crew would do this, during a wildfire disaster we may be called on to
take on this task while the crew rests. It's a simple but vital job that
helps to keep our firefighting assets focused on fighting the fires.
And now let's hear from Captain Obvious; it's hot out.
It's been hot for awhile. Despite the moisture, this kind of heat leads
to very dry brush that has not burned off for over 5 years, and quite a bit of
it longer than that. Let's all hope we dodge this issue one more
time. If we don't. we need to be ready to help. That's what we
do. I'll look forward to seeing you there.
Street Fair—Thanks to all who have signed up for a
shift. We can always use more, so if your schedule has firmed up and you
can put some time in drop me a note. I hope to have a plan in place by
the end of the week, and I should be able to assign specific time slots and
publish a working demo calendar. One of the things we'll do differently
this year is prominently feature our demo schedule in front of the booth,
probably on a white board so we can change it if we need to. This will
encourage people to come back to us for a demo. Not exactly a new
gimmick, but a really good one. Here is the detail again:
Mira Mesa Street Fair
Date: 15 September 2012
Time: 10am—5pm
Location: Camino Ruiz between Mira Mesa Blvd. and New Salem
We are usually very close to New Salem on the East side of
the Street. We've got some skills practice scheduled in wound care and
rescue cribbing. We'll be showing the Public how to load a patient in a
litter, and how to properly size and wear a dust mask. We will also be
working with the Mira Mesa High School Air Force ROTC, a great group of highly
motivated young people. If you find at the last minute that you can put
in some time with us, but you aren't on our schedule, that's OK, let me know
when you can work any time before the event, we'll slot you in someplace.
We're going to have a great time folks. See you there!
That's all for this week. Questions, comments, you
know how to find me.
-Steve
