Good morning, here is the News:
Team Meeting— Tomorrow Night. Wednesday, 10
October, 6:00—7:00pm (expect this one to run a little over). We will meet
at our rally point. Please bring a camp or folding chair of some sort
if you have one. Our rally point is in Mira Mesa Community Park, on
New Salem just East of Camino Ruiz. more or less between Fire Station 38 and
the Rec Center. We will talk briefly about the meaning of "rally
point" and how we will use that place in the event of a catastrophe.
Then we will work through the newly introduced FEMA course on Firefighter
Rehabilitation. This is the sort of thing some of us might get involved
with in a wildfire situation, so I want to walk through the basics and discuss
how we might establish a rehab station on the fly if we had to, or work with an
already existing station.
Here is a link to the Participant's Manual. It
is NOT required that you read this before showing up, I kicked it in just in
case somebody is interested.
DSW Card—If you believe that you have qualified for
your first DSW card, or you need to renew, please contact me immediately.
Deadline for September submissions is this Friday, and I won't be able to do a
lot for you past this Thursday, so consider NOW to be the last minute. If
you are still fairly new to our organization and you really don't understand
the whole DSW thing, PLEASE drop me a note. You only have one year after
your graduation to qualify, and any one of us can tell you that goes by
fast. You cannot be a member of CERT without qualifying for DSW.
It's really not that hard. Let's talk.
All for this week, please join me in hoping that the heat is
gone for the year. We could really use to dodge this bullet.
Questions, comments, you know how to find me.
-Steve
