School Fire Drills - High Priority This Week

... Reporting From Off Scene

This week is going to be a busy week.  Schools are generally considered a fire safe place to be.  That however, doesn't mean that fire drills are not necessary.  I am a firm believer the first days of school are very critical for establishing procedures for school fire drills and the reasoning behind each procedure. And with that said, we have 5 rural Elementary Schools, 4 rural Junior High Schools and 2 rural High Schools in which both myself and FireGeezer will be on hand to provide assistance/support, recommendations, review fire safety legislation with school staff so that they know their responsibilities and obligations when it comes to managing fire safety at their school, answer their questions, etc., during these fire drills.

Each year, each  of these schools has on an average of 8-10 fire drills to ensure that the students become accustomed to safe, calm and orderly evacuation in case of an emergency. Once again, this year, we will be leaving each Elementary School with a 'Book Bundle' (valued at over $45) to be added to their school library.  Of course... the books are based on fire safety and awareness.

I remember being in school not too long ago, and I remember our fire drills.  I am happy to see a change, one major change is that our rural department has been asked to participate in these fire drills at least twice a year.

I would be curious to know if other departments participate in school fire drills too. For us, it's a great way to stay connected to our folks/kids in our rural communities!
