KeynoteDonna Forgy — We Work Way Too Hard as InstructorsAt the end of an 8-hour or even 4-hour class room day are you physically and emotionally drained? Did you spend most of the day lecturing and spitting slides out to keep your audience engaged? Did you notice that the participants were just warm bodies taking up a seat? Research supports that most learning occurs in group exercises. There are methods that increase both the quality and quantity of student involvement. Not to mention the fact that there is a direct correlating between “fun” and “learning”. There are some easily understood common sense techniques that will engage even the “dead beat” students.

General SessionRobert Crandall — Partnering to Improve Safety for People With I/DDPeople with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are at increased risk of injury and death in residential fires. Experts from the fire service and disabilities agencies worked together to develop the “Safe at Home” program, which looks at both environmental factors and safety skills to improve the safety of people with I/DD who live independently. Together, they built a replicable model that has shown success in helping people with I/DD know what to do to prevent fires and how to escape them safely. This presentation will introduce the program design and content, describe its successes and challenges, and outline the steps you can take to identify partners and bring “Safe at Home” to your community.

Breakout SessionsSherrie Guerrero – Life’s Not a Game, Saving One Can Be!Learning fire and injury prevention through games is fun and interactive way to engage kids to learn. I’ve created TV show games for the past 10 years for our 3rd grade program for Fire Prevention Month, the games are based on the State of Colorado curriculum. Here are some of the games I’ve created, Deal or No Deal, Fire Safety Bingo, Are you Smarter than a Firefighter, Firefighter Feud, The Price is Life, Westminster Fire Brain Drain… and so on. The games can be created on a low budget with one Public Educator.

Molly Clifford – Play safe! Be safe! For Young ChildrenThis workshop will review the surprising frequency of young children’s misuse of fire, present sound strategies to educate and motivate children and families to change their behavior toward fire and fire safety, and encourage the adoption well regarded safety practices. All participants will receive a play safe! be safe! kit at no cost for use in their outreach efforts. The workshop will cover how best to use the kit and the on-line activities at www.playsafebesafe.com and information on how communities can obtain additional materials.

Becky Booker – Home Safety: A Journey to the UK and Beyond For AnswersThis is one person’s journey in the fire service to make an impact on fires in the US. No longer can we accept the number of fire deaths of residents and firefighters without considering changing the direction of some of our priorities. Come on a quest that starts with 20 years of experience doing fire prevention in the homes and follow along to England to find the secrets of their amazing success in turning the numbers of fires around in their country. You will be given all the tools to create a home safety survey. Then watch things change!

Neal Zipser – Drawing a line in the Sand on Home Fire FatalitiesThe presentation examines the home fire fatalities issue nationally and in New York state and the problem of non-working smoke alarms. We look at why alarms fails, what can be done to increase the number of working alarms, where they should be installed and the latest alarm technologies, including 10-year sealed batteries and wireless interconnected alarms. Presentation moves fast and includes several videos.

Monica Colby/Tim Behlings – Fire Science and Our Messaging: Are We Keeping Up?We know that fire moves faster in a building than ever before due to our furnishings but do you know what is really happening during a fire? Given the speed of fire and smoke, are our messages about escaping a fire still relevant? How do we prevent all fires and is that possible through education alone? The placement of home smoke alarms has changed, do you know where they can be placed on the ceiling? Discuss these concerns, fire flow, and smoke production and take today’s scientific understanding of fire and hold our common fire safety messages up for examination. Students will leave with a better understanding of how fire prevention education and engineering work hand in hand to mitigate the impact of fire.

Patty Couture – Be the Change of Fire Prevention…Think Outside the BoxThink outside the traditional box of Fire Prevention. Let’s explore a new approach to how we present and who we present to. Doing the traditional teaching to our school age children is still essential, but there are many more groups that need to be reached. Our senior citizens need more information now that many are living alone. Home health agencies, college students and the general public are other target audiences.

Whitehall Fire Department – Junior Fire AcademyThis all-day specialty camp is designed for children entering 4th through 8th grade, and is taught by Whitehall Volunteer Fire Company firefighters, state certified fire instructors and EMT’s in topics such as: Fire cause and Prevention, Fire Safety, Firefighting equipment and its usage, CPR and First Aid, Importance of Teamwork, Physical fitness and Marching just to name a few.The Junior Firefighter Academy, often referred to as fire camp, is offered Monday through Friday the first week of August and will conclude with a formal graduation ceremony on the following Saturday. Classes begin at 9am and will end at 3pm each day. Fire camp focuses on development of the four core character values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. As a Junior Firefighter, each child will hold an important role in the Fire Safety of their families, school and fellow classmates. the fire camp was created as a new approach to our Fire Prevention Education program.
