Security camera footage from earlier this year in Poland. Let's keep it safe out there! Yes, we have all done it by stacking the folded hose on itself but there is another way... Thank you to artist Peter Vacchina who left this Mosaic of hope that he created in front of the station. The note attached stated "I would like to leave this 'Mosaic of Hope' here, in your honor, as attribute to what all of you are doing for us during this pandemic. I am placing mosaics in locations around our community as a reminder We Are All in This 2GTHR.”
The Mosaic will remain where he left it throughout this crisis. Once again, thank you Mr. Vacchina. The Slow Mo Guys from Planet Slow Mo feature one of the worst fireground occurrences, the backdraft. Unlike the Hollywood versions you may have seen in the movies, what is really scary here is the complete lack of any tell-tale signs. Looking for something to do with the kids being home for the next 5 1/2 weeks?..(yes until May 4th now)….over the next couple of weeks the Alerts are going to be reaching out to our biggest fans and help them learn some very important fire safety tips during this time of instant homeschooling!....Adults are welcome to be a kid also...everybody needs an escape plan!
Our first challenge that we are putting out to everybody is to freshen up on your home fire escape plan....grab some paper, pens, pencils or crayons and draw out your house showing bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, doors, windows and the all important meeting place. Sketch in your "escape' route and then practice your plan!....remember to take those pictures of them drawing and carrying out that plan....and post them on our Facebook page...we can not wait to see those minds working and learning!... In the spirit of supporting those that always support us, all entries that are posted will be put into a random drawing to receive a $25 gift card to AJ's Trailside Pub - they are still open and doing take-out. We have a stack of gift cards to random Adams restaurants and businesses that we purchased after recently winning the Cardboard Box Carnival at Bousquet Mountain in Pittsfield and felt compelled to give back to the community….Drawing to be held this Friday at 4pm. A couple of ideas are shown below.... |
