Point Roberts Volunteer Firefighters Fire Tactics Training

By equinox - Posted on 29 June 2009

View the Gallery - When I returned home from the mildly contentious garbage meeting with representatives of the county I had barely gotten in my door when fire trucks began making their way up my road. They whirled their sirens briefly and as I and the dogs ventured out to see what was the danger we saw a plume of smoke exiting the mobile home closest to my house. As the team began unfurling the hoses and stretching them all the way down the road to the hydrant near Gulf road, I finally gained the attention of one helmeted firefighter. "Just training" is all I needed to know to relax and enjoy the show.

Community Info: There will be an emergency exercise at the Bellingham Airport on September 24, 2011 for Community Emergency Response Team members who are willing to participate. This exercise involves many emergency departments in Bellingham and is a great way to participae and learn first hand the overall rescue process. For more information or to enroll, contact Andrew 945-1801.

September Tip: Remember, in any emergency or disaster, communication between family members is important and sometimes difficult. Experts suggest having an out-of-state relative or friend as a central point for all family members to connect with and leave messages. This will enable members to contact someone who is not affected by the emergency. Stay connected to stay safe.
