BRUSH FIRE SEASON 2008, are you prepared?

Heading north for the summer? Don't forget to prepare your southern home

By Gerald Campbell

 

Many of our neighbors are part-time residents, and who can blame them?  They escape the cold winter and the heat of summer.  They also escape most of hurricane season, but not hurricane hazards to their property.  

 

Planning and preparation are critical to protecting your property, as well as your neighbors. The high winds of a hurricane create damaging missiles out of any loose items, and these "missiles" do not respect property lines.  MORE INFO...

 

YOUTH DAY AT BONITA SPRINGS FIRE-RESCUE

Bonita Springs Fire-Rescue held their first Youth Day for students in the community on Saturday, April 12. Participating students were taught the everyday activities of life as a firefighter, how to become a firefighter, and what is expected of them. They were also taught the physical and educational requirements of a firefighter. The program is intended for students between the ages of 13-18. Firefighters educated the group on the background of the fire department in Bonita Springs. In addition, individual firefighters spoke to the students about their own experiences with the fire service and what they’ve done to achieve their careers. Students worked together as a group and individually as they assisted the firefighters with their morning chores and daily activities.

Students were able to watch and participate in training activities that were scheduled as firefighters narrated the events. Students then participated in an obstacle course that instructed them on what is required to be hired as a firefighter. At the conclusion of the day students received a certificate of completion and a certificate for volunteer hours to submit for graduation.  more info...
