Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter


Good morning, here is the News:


Team Meeting—Wednesday, 10 April, 6:00—7:00pm, at the Senior Center.  We're back to our 6:00 start.  Subject will be Fire Suppression and electrical/gas safety.  We'll have a discussion on the chemistry and safety of fire, as well as some practical stuff about electricity and the various gases in common use in our area.  We should be able to get the practice extinguishers normally used with the BullEx training system, so we can all get some practice on our approach/suppression/withdraw techniques.  We usually try to end on time, but count on this one running a bit later if we need to in order for everyone to get a chance with the extinguishers.   Also, we will probably be outside for much of the meeting, please dress appropriately and prepare to get a little bit wet (the practice extinguishers use compressed water).We haven't exactly told the Senior Center what we are doing yet, hopefully it's not an issue, but we'll find out next week.


St. Patrick's Day Parade—The parade/breakfast is this Saturday.  If you want to go, and need the details, shoot Steve a note TODAY.


That's all for this week.  Happy St. Patrick's Day, stay safe.
