STORY AND PHOTO BY KAITLIN CARNEY

It would not be easy to pickjust one person that repre-sents the spirit and nature of

volunteerism in Sullivan County.After all, the area is almost com-pletely supported by voluntaryemergency services. However,there is one man who epitomizesthe Sullivan County volunteer:Eldred resident Charles “Chuck”Myers.

Myers was born and raised inEldred. From his home (a 110-year-old house on the hill ofRoute 55 overlooking Eldred)you can see the location wherehe was born in 1926. Now the siteof Peck’s Market, it was once theMyers family home.

Chuck graduated from EldredCentral School and entered theArmy serving in World War II.Myers served in the EuropeanTheater (France, Germany, andAustria) until the war’s end in

1945, and stayed an extra year aspart of the occupation troops. Hereturned home and after twoweeks back on American soil,married his high school sweet-heart, Ruth. They would be mar-ried for 67½ years before Chucklost his beloved Ruth to anextended illness.

After being discharged fromthe Army, Myers became a mem-ber of the Sylvan-Libla AmericanLegion Post 1363, organized in1946. Members would meet andbrainstorm about how to build apost home. They thought theycould fund the post with a bar,but at the time the Town of High-land already had 32 other bar-rooms.

Two members suggested theyknew where to get a second handambulance, and on October 1,1948 the American Legion Vol-unteer Ambulance Corps wasborn. The members, who all hadfirst aid training from their timein the service, went on their first

call on November 8, 1948 in a1936 Packard ambulance with adonated first aid kit from a drug-store in Middletown and somehome-made splints.

“It just progressed from there.We garaged our ambulance atfirst at the Eldred Central School.I had one of two sets of keysbecause I lived the closest,”Chuck remembered.

The Legion worked with theYulan Volunteer Fire Depart-ment (where Chuck also volun-teered) in 1951 to collect dona-tions to build an addition on theTown Hall in Eldred where a

Epitomizing the emergency servicesNearing 66 yearsof dedicated volunteering

Chuck Myers holds the favorite of his over 1600 strong ambu-lance collection. The commissioned model is an exact replica ofthe American Legion Volunteer Ambulance Corps’ very firstambulance, a 1936 Packard. Chuck shares his collection for dis-play at Bon Secours Hospital and the Town Hall in Eldred on arotating basis. Some of his models date back to World War II,others are more sentimental and many are whimsical.

small fire truck and ambulance werekept.

“Our Packard served us for quite afew years, until 1965, when we pur-chased our first brand new ambu-lance, a 1965 Cadillac. We could fitfour stretchers in there, and now hadoxygen supplied by our LadiesAuxiliary.”

The Legion would continue to growto serve the community, workingagain with the Yulan Fire Departmentand a grant from the town to build atwo-bay garage at the Town Hall thatheld both ambulances and a firetruck. They would expand their fleetto now include a box-type ambu-lance that would just fit in the newgarage with their Cadillac rig andYulan’s fire truck.

And Chuck Myers was there for allof it. A life member of both theVolunteer Ambulance Service andthe Yulan Fire Department, Chuckstill holds volunteerism in a very highregard.

He worked for 33 years for theSullivan County Department ofPublic Works (DPW) while Ruth

worked as the secretary atthe Eldred Central School.They had one son, Robert,and traveled the country(seeing every state, and allbut two Canadianprovinces). But he alwaysmade time for theAmbulance Corps, Legion,and Fire Depart ment.

“I am semi-retired now.When my wife wasn’t well,I stayed home with herand didn’t go on a lot ofcalls unless I had somehelp here,” Chuck said.“Now, I seldom go on calls.I can’t lift as much, and Ionly go during the day. The averageambulance call, with paperwork andcleanup, takes about two hours. MyEMT certification expires in Octoberand I won’t renew it this time.”

At 88, Myers looks back on his yearsof service with a great sense of joy.

“My fondest memory is the culmi-nation of all of our years of work inbuilding the Ambulance building on2.5 acres of donated land on CollinsRoad in 2000,” he said. “Before that, itwas when we were able to, with the

help and generosityof the community,buy our first brandnew ambulance in1965.”

Myers has seen thevolunteer servicechange as well: theirfirst ambulance cost$875 in 1948; a newrig today runs about$175,000.

The AmericanLegion Post owns theambulances and thebuilding, and con-tinues to serve thecommunity with a

corps of dedicated volunteer drivers,EMTS, and members.

With all of that help, Chuck Myers isable to enjoy his semi-retirement. Hecontinues to add to his collection ofover 1,600 miniature ambulances,sharing the collection at Bon Secourshospital (he rotates it monthly) andthe Town Hall in Eldred. He contin-ues to serve as treasurer of both theLegion and the Ambulance Corps.

“I will probably pass that job ontoo,” he said, “...one day.”

STORY AND PHOTO BY ELI RUIZ

HARRIS — With extensive renovations, cru-cial new hires, equally crucial new equip-ment and aggressive growth over the lastthree years, Catskill Regional Medical Center(CRMC) has leveraged various state and fed-eral grants in positioning itself to be “a hospi-

tal that truly reflects the needs of the commu-nity as a whole in Sullivan County,” accordingto Emergency Services Clinical DirectorWendy Brown.

Last year the hospital opened a newly reno-vated mental health unit and just a few weeksago officially opened its brand new privatepractice primary care center. Currently thewest wing of the hospital’s second floor isundergoing a complete renovation, and asBrown puts it, “They’re actually goingthrough the entire hospital and upgradingthe entirety of it.”

But possibly the most extensive growth atCRMC has taken place in arguably its mostimportant unit: The Emergency Department(ED).

Since renovations began in earnest in 2011,the ED at Catskill Regional has nearly dou-bled in size from 14 to 26 beds, and throughthe procurement of new, crucial, lifesavingequipment, the unit has been able to expandits offerings as well.

Through this expansion of services the EDhas been able to drastically cut down on thepercentage of patients shipped out to otherfacilities, an achievement that will drasticallycut down the amount of time it takes for apatient to receive the care they may need.

Grants beef up its life-saving mission

Catskill Regional Medical Center Emergency Depart-ment (ED) Director, Dr. Carlos Holden, stands with “Dr.Polly.” The Polycon Real Presence Practitioner Cart 800was purchased, along with a laundry list of other cru-cial ED equipment, through a New York State HEAL 15grant the hospital picked up in February. The grant,valued at $350,000, went entirely to the emergencydepartment at Catskill Regional.

Catskill Regional Medical Center Emergency Department:

CONTINUED ON PAGE 8E


“I see around 2,000 patients amonth, on average,” offered EDDirector, Dr. Carlos Holden. “I’d haveto say our transfer rate is about threepercent usually. We take care ofalmost everything.”

And through a recent New YorkState Healthcare Efficiency andAffordability Law (HEAL) 15 grant,the hospital is further looking toenhance emergency patient carethrough an initiative to become adesignated New York StateDepartment of Health Stroke Center.

As a designated Stroke Center,CRMC will maintain an expert“Stroke Team” comprised of highlytrained physicians, nurses and tech-nicians with the ability to treat strokepatients quickly and effectivelythrough the use of the latest medi-cines, techniques and equipment tominimize brain damage.

In fact, the grant has allowed theemergency department to purchase$350,000 in much-needed, cutting-edge equipment. These include newbariatric ED stretchers that can weigh

the patient, Life Pack20 cardiac monitors,Pro Pack transportmonitors, a new sup-ply room stocking sys-tem, a MUSE EKGmachine, an Omnisingle dose dispensingsystem, 8 Stryker“Prime TC” nestingwheel chairs with IVpole, an oxygen tank,digital cameras andmuch more.

And possibly themost advanced, cru-cial piece of equip-ment the ED hasrecently obtained is itsPolycon Real PresencePractitioner Cart 8000,for its Stroke Program;a sort of doc-on-wheels affectionate-ly dubbed “Dr. Polly.” Dr. Polly allowsfor real-time consultations betweenpatients and off-site specialists.

Similarly, and through a partner-ship with Lehigh Valley (PA) Hospital,the ED has implemented a systemcalled “Teleburn.”

One of the very fewservices the ED atCatskill Regional doesnot offer is burn care,but as Brown ex -plained, “We now havean arrangement withLehigh Valley Hospital,which is a designatedBurn Center. The flightfrom here to LehighValley is comparable toflying to Westchester[Medical Center], andeven Albany, so ifsomebody comes inand they have a burn,what they’ve [LehighValley Hospital] foundis that many timespeople are transferredthere unnecessarily

when they could have stayed here, orthey’re not transferred when theyshould have been. In an effort to getpatients to the appropriate level ofcare, we now have a mechanism verysimilar to Polycon which will allow itto simply take a picture of a burn,send it to the specialists at Lehigh

Valley, and they say do this or do that.This goes a long way toward ensuringthese patients get the appropriatelevel of care.”

The ED’s new MUSE EKG (electro-cardiogram) machines are part of thehospital’s STEMI Program. STEMI,which stands for ST-ElevationMyocardial Infarction, is the mostdangerous type of heart attack,involving a sudden blockage of one ofthe three coronary arteries that sup-ply blood to the heart. Without blood,the heart muscle will die.

The STEMI Program drasticallyreduces the diagnosis and treatmenttimes of cardiac patients, specificallythose suffering from this deadly typeof heart attack, by allowing the hos-pital to react faster, prepare for thepatient’s arrival and cut down on thetime from the initial 911 call to thepatient entering the catheterizationlab. “It really helps expedite EKGs tomeet our goals and get patientscatheterized when they need to becatheterized,” said Brown.

With drug use rates in the area offthe charts, and a litany of issuesplagueing Sullivan County’s most

widely used drug rehab, TheRecovery Center, the emergencydepartment at CRMC is even gettinginvolved in chemical and substanceabuse.

“Still another thing that we’re doingfrom an ED standpoint… now thatwe have a good physical plan andsupplies and all of that, we’re doing alot of community outreach in rela-tion to substance abuse,” explainedDr. Holden, adding, “We’ve seen somuch substance abuse coming intothe ED… drug overdoses and such,so Wendy [Brown] and I are partici-pating in the Sullivan County RuralHealth Network Drug Task Force todevelop some training for doctorsand in the schools.”

As for the future, Brown affirms, “Ithink the ED right now is pretty set-tled as far as where it stands. I thinkwe’re very pleased with the levelwe’re at right now and the progresswe’ve made. Think about it, threeyears ago I was not interested in thishospital (Brown was hired inSeptember of 2012). Now I’m justextremely proud to be a part of theteam.”

Crystal Run Urgent CareYour best option for extended-hour care

Life is unpredictable and we allknow the importance of beingable to see a doctor when you

need one. Unfortunately, for many,aches, pains, cuts, bruises and othermedical issues do not always cooper-ate with busy personal scheduleswhich can make seeing your PrimaryCare physician challenging. AtCrystal Run Healthcare, we offersame-day primary care appoint-ments, but sometimes issues comeup after hours. The solution: CrystalRun Urgent Care.

Crystal Run Urgent Care providespatients with walk-in, extended-hourmedical care with licensed providers.While not an emergency departmentlike that of a hospital, Urgent Caredoes provide options when you needmedical attention outside normal office hours – with no appointment

needed – and at a much more afford-able price than that of a hospitalemergency room. “Urgent Care is notintended for someone who is having

chest pain and suspects they are hav-ing a heart attack,” urges MargaretCoughlin, MD, a Family Medicinephysician at Crystal Run Urgent Care.“In that situation it is better to call911 and get yourself to an emergencyroom. Urgent Care is more for indi-viduals that have experienced minoremergencies and injuries that arenon-life threatening but still cannotwait for their next doctor’s appoint-ment.”

She added, “We see lots of patientswith cold and flu-related symptomslike sore throats, coughs, headachesand stomach aches in the wintermonths, as well as people who slipand fall on ice and have mechanicalinjuries such as a sprain or strain. Asthe weather warms up, we see moreinjuries from outdoor activities likeinsect bites, allergic reactions, burnsas well as cuts and bruises.”

NOT ALL URGENT CARE IS CREATED EQUAL

Many Urgent Cares are staffedalmost exclusively with physicianassistants and nurse practitioners.What sets Crystal Run Urgent Careapart from other such Urgent Cares isthat it is staffed with trainedEmergency Medicine and Family

Medicine physicians at all times, inaddition to certified nurse practition-ers and physician assistants.

In fact, having a physician availableon site at all times is one of the manycriteria that Crystal Run has met inorder to be the only private practiceUrgent Care in the region to be bothaccredited by the Joint Commissionand a Certified Urgent Care Center asdesignated by the Urgent CareAssociation of America.

In addition, Crystal Run UrgentCare is directly connected to CrystalRun Healthcare’s premier multi-spe-cialty group medical practice, whichgives you access to world-class physi-cians in dozens of specialties, plusfast, accurate lab work and diagnosticimaging right on site.

For Charlie Mills, it’s all about the volunteering

Once, when structure fires weremore common, firefightersentered burning, smoky inte-

riors without the benefit of breathingequipment.

Those were the days when firemenrode unbuckled in the back of thefiretrucks, or stood on half-coveredplatforms at the back of the cab.

And those were the days when,equipped with insulated “linemen”gloves and bolt cutters, firefighterswould occasionally need to cutdowned live electric wires in thecourse of saving a life or making ascene safer. The gloves had to be test-ed periodically for their insulatingproperties.

That’s all part of a familiar past forCharlie Mills of the Callicoon FireDepartment, now in his 61st year ofvolunteer service. The longest serv-ing member in the department hasseen and experienced much (includ-ing the live wire cutting). He held theposition of chief for five years (justdon’t ask him which decade; that’sovertaxing his memory).

But it is the present and future thatworry him.

There are many factors that haveled to the decline of volunteerismamong the wider society as a whole,but the firefighting ranks have beenespecially hit hard.

Many people have to hold downtwo jobs, or endure long commutesto work. There are more activities,more entertainment choices, and (forfamily men) more things their chil-dren are involved with that demandparental engagement.

It leaves little time or energy for vol-unteering – especially a demandingcalling where one can be summonedat all hours and go through muchinconvenience and, yes, even risk lifeand limb.

“People wanted to [join] in thosedays,” Mills said. “There were nocomputers and [other distractions]and we spent a lot of time outdoors.”

As fellow longtime firefighter FrankHahn Jr. put it, “The fire departmentwas the center of the community.”

“Your social life centered aroundthe firehouse,” Mills agreed.

For those who choose to join fire-

matics these days, the trainingrequirements have become moredemanding (even burdensome, insome opinions), though the endresult is a well-trained firefighterversed in all aspects of the science.

A LIFE IN FIREMATICS“I got roped into fighting brushfires

before I even joined the department,”Mills said, and one early experiencecould have ended badly. He and fel-low draftee Richard Adamsapproached a smoke-filled field,searching for the fire. They were eachweighed down with a “backpack”five-gallon water tanker and rake.Mills noted that withstanding suchmeager resources, they were oftensufficient to stop a brush fire in itstrack. Anyway, they were suddenlyconfronted with the flames, and theneophytes had to rush up anembankment, jettisoning the waterto make it to safety.

When he joined in 1954, the sameyear he opened his dealership, the1935 Ward LaFrance was the depart-ment’s mainstay, along with a recent-ly purchased Ford. The Ward is nowthe department’s antique, showcasedat parades.

“It wasn’t noted for its good brakes,”Mills smiled, relating a memory of ahairy ride down a steep decline inTyler Hill (PA) and through a narrowunderpass in Cochecton.

Besides Mills, four other employeesin his dealership were departmentmembers in the early years. When thesiren blared, all five sprang for thedoors.

“We never received one complaintbecause of work not done on carsbecause we had to be at a fire,” Millssaid. “Can you imagine that happen-ing today?”

This was decades before theSullivan County Emergency ServicesTraining Facility and its “burnhouse.” One learned a lot on the job.Mills fondly recalled the NortheastPennsylvania Firemen’s Association’straining weekends, with their hands-on learning.

The rules and regulations werefewer – and less stringently enforced.

“If the chief knew you didn’t want toclimb a big ladder, he didn’t makeyou do it,” Mills noted. “There was nostigma involved.”

As part of their training, firemenhad to climb a 40-foot extension lad-der held straight up by four or five

men, and then climb back down theother side. Some lost their nerve andhad to stop, but again, it did not ren-der them unfit for duty. It just meanttheir limitations were known.

QUALITY AND QUANTITY OFRESPONSES/INCIDENTS

Thanks to changes in building con-struction and things like outdoorburn bans and fewer deadly autoaccidents and even fewer operatingtrains, the number of what can becalled “dramatic” or “spectacular”incidents has dropped over the years.Firefighters now find themselvesresponding to medical calls and car-bon monoxide alarm activations andsuch.

It was different in Mills’ first fewdecades of service.

The Erie Railroad trains that trav-eled the river valley kept the wheelball bearings protected with oiledcotton balls. Occasionally, whenbearings failed and heat build up, aflaming cotton ball would shoot outand start a fire on the brush lining theright of way.

Derailments were also more com-mon in decades past. Callicoon onceresponded to a wreck up in LongEddy to assist the Long Eddy andHankins departments. An auto carri-er, with 10 or 12 vehicles, was lying onits side. To eliminate a potential firehazard, Charlie was tasked withopening the gas caps on the cars anddrain the gas. The toxic liquid, agitat-ed by the motion and under pressure,literally shot out into the ground.There was no DEC around then tomake sure the gas went intoapproved containers.

Mills related that he saw a railroadworker using an acetylene torchnearby. It did not make him feel safe.

Though these wrecks were nolaughing matter, Mills chuckled at amemory of a Heinz brand pickle car-rier or two which derailed; soon,thousands of pickles were seen mak-ing their way down the DelawareRiver.

Sometime this year, there’ll come aday when Mills will not respond tothe fire signal (called a “tone” in fire-matics’ parlance); he plans to formal-

ly retire from the fraternity of fire-fighters.

It’s been about 10 years since Millswas last certified as an interior fire-fighter. The biggest fire he was everinvolved with was the 2006 conflagra-tion at the Villa Roma Resort Hotel.He spent many hours on hose duty.

These days he’ll do anything whenhe answers a call – direct traffic at ascene, hook up hoses, drive thetrucks.

One recent afternoon Mills stood inthe firehouse, a stone’s throw fromthe old Callicoon Hospital where hewas born and where his father, Dr.George Mills, practiced. It is also nearthe home he shares with wife Grace.The firehouse once housed hisChevrolet dealership, and the fire dis-trict bought and upgraded the struc-ture last decade, moving from itsdecades-old home on Upper Main St.just down the hill.

Mills, 81, walked past the gleamingchrome and bright yellow colors andcomplicated dials and controls of theCallicoon Fire Department’s latesttruck, a 2013 KME pumper/tanker.

It is the only vehicle in the three-bay

building he is not trained to drive –though in a pinch, he could do it.

The apparatus cost the departmentabout $460,000. Mills mentioned thatnearby Jeffersonville had just ordereda $480,000 truck.

“That’s a lot of pancakes,” he chuck-led, referring to the classic and popu-lar fundraiser among departments.

THINKING OF THE FUTUREMills has faith that people will con-

tinue to answer the call of volunteer-

ing. The idea of going to paid profes-

sional firefighters – “Sitting here atthe firehouse, putting in their three12-hour shifts,” as he puts it – seemsimpractical and costly in our ruralareas. The tax base would not supportit.

Mills looked at the Sullivan WestSchool District, with its 11 fire dis-tricts serving the widespread area. Hetalked of the desirability of organiz-ing a “future firefighters” club in theschool, perhaps putting membersthrough computer-based trainingsimilar to what firefighter coursesoffer.

If that kind of activity spurs volun-teerism and enthusiasm for firemat-ics, then the idea will be worth imple-menting, he noted.

Mills is proud and comfortable withhis past and the contributions he andhis generation have made to theemergency services.

But he wants to make sure that anew generations will find, as he did,rewards and satisfaction in the civicresponsibilities of protecting life andproperty.

STORY BY DAN HUST

CALLICOON CENTER — Ron Jones’tale is as chilling as it is all-too-com-mon.

“I had a heart attack sitting righthere,” he said at his kitchen table inCallicoon Center.

What’s not common is the fact thathe survived flatlining – twice.

“Out of all the cardiac-related callsof this type that I’ve done in the past36 years, he’s my only save,” soberlyexplained Sue Bodenstein, one of theEMTs on the Jeffersonville First AidCorps who helped save Ron’s life.

That’s not an insult to her capabili-ties – that’s just a cold, hard fact in aworld where many heart attacks don’tstrike inside a hospital.

But on September 19, 2013, a seriesof people all did the right thing at theright time, and boy, is Ron grateful.

“There are no ‘rotten apples’ in thisbunch!” he affirmed.

Start with Ron’s good friend, John

Groh. He happened to be at Ron’shome that day.

“I’m standing here in the kitchenwith his wife, and he said, ‘I don’t feelquite right,’ ” John recalled.

Ron promptly collapsed in front ofthem both.

Neither John nor Anne Marie knewwhat was happening – except thatRon wasn’t breathing.

They dialed 911, and the dispatcherinstructed John to begin chest com-pressions.

Meanwhile, the Callicoon CenterFire Department and the Jeffer -sonville First Aid Corps were calledout, and the firefighters – who hap-pened to be at the firehouse – arrivedwithin minutes.

Fireman Gary Brockner took overchest compressions from John untilthe ambulance pulled in the drive-way, followed by the State Police.

“John was instrumental, and thefiremen were phenomenal,” acknow -ledged Sue, who was part of the team

that checked Ron’s pulse (or lackthereof), gave him medication andapplied the repeated shocks of adefibrillator.

Ron was rushed to Catskill RegionalMedical Center’s Grover M. HermannDivision in Callicoon, then to theSeelig Division in Harris, where hewas semi-conscious but incoherent.

“I don’t remember a thing,” he said.That includes even visits from

friends and family the entire threeweeks he spent in the hospital, thelast two of which were at OrangeRegional Medical Center’s new facili-ty in Middletown.

“That place is outstanding,” hemarvelled.

Just as outstanding is the fact that at70 years old, Ron is alive and wellpost-heart attack.

He’s got diabetes and now wears animplanted defibrillator (automatical-ly responding to heart abnormali-ties), but he’s not complaining.

“I feel a hell of a lot better now thanI did before,” he affirmed.

In fact, had it not been for all thetests and treatments, Ron’s doctorsmight not have discovered he hadthree cancerous spots on the outsideof his lungs, which were successfully

treated with radiation.“I was a heavy smoker and had to

stop,” he explained. “I haven’t had acigarette since the day of the heartattack. I figure, how many chances doyou get?”

With the crew of locals who standready to assist at any time, day ornight, Ron may have more chancesthan he thinks.

“If John wasn’t here, I wouldn’t behere, and it goes right down the line,”he said of all who came to his rescue.

For his part, John’s glad to leave it tothe professionals.

“I personally don’t think I could dothat every day,” he remarked. “Godbless all the volunteers.”

“So many people ... should give realconsideration to joining one of theseorganizations,” urges Ron, “becausethey need volunteers.”

Without them, critical responsetimes grow longer, the sense of com-munity dissipates, and valued localinstitutions may disappear entirely.

Consider giving time or money toyour local emergency responsegroups. After all, one day they may beheading your way.

“Everyone gets a shot at gettingsick,” promises Ron.

Prepared for the worst: If your home catches fireThe numbers are staggering.

According to the National FireProtection Association (NFPA)

in 2012, the last year for which statis-tics are available, there were an esti-mated 365,000 reported home struc-ture fires and 2,380 associated civiliandeaths in the United States.

The NFPA website (www.nfpa.org)has a downloadable escape plan gridwhich it touts as “a great way to getchildren involved in fire safety in anon-threatening way.” (See sidebar,“Making a home fire escape plan”)

IF THE ALARM SOUNDS:1. React as soon as you hear your

smoke alarm go off. If you see fire, tryto exit your home as safely as possible.Do not try to grab your phone, valu-ables, or your other important posses-sions. Your only concern should begetting yourself and your family mem-bers out safely. You may only have afew seconds to escape safely, so ignore

all secondary concerns that havenothing to do with staying alive.

2. If you see smoke under a door,then you cannot go out that door,because smoke is toxic and fire is sureto follow. Before opening a door, putthe back of your hand up to the doorto make sure it doesn't feel hot. If thedoor feels cool, then open it slowlyand pass through it. If the door is hotor there's smoke under it and thereare no other doors to pass through,you will have to try to escape througha window.

3. Protect yourself from smokeinhalation. Get low to the floor andcrouch or crawl on your hands andknees to evade the smoke. Thoughyou may think that running is faster,encourage your family members tocrouch or crawl, too. Smoke inhala-tion causes people to become disori-ented and can even render a personunconscious. Knowing this, youshould cover your nose and mouth if

you have to walk by or through aheavily smoke-filled room.

4. Stop, drop, and roll if your clothescatch fire. Rolling around will smoth-er the fire quickly. Cover your facewith your hands as you're rolling toprotect yourself.

5. If you can't escape your homeand are waiting for help, you can stilltake some measures to ward off thesmoke and stay safe. Close your doorand cover all vents and cracks aroundit with cloth or tape to keep the smokeout for as long as you can.

6. If you are trapped in your secondstory room in the event of a fire, dowhat you can to get yourself to an areawhere people will be able to hear youor see you. You can take a sheet orsomething else – white preferably –and hang it out the window to signifythat you need help when the firstresponders get there. Be sure to closethe window – leaving it open drawsthe fire towards the fresh oxygen.

7. If you really must get out of a sec-ond-story window, look for a ledgeand always face the building struc-ture when exiting a window on anupper floor. From a second story, ifyou have to hang, you might get clos-er to the ground and you could poten-tially let go and fall to safety.

The truth of the matter is that youare probably a lot safer staying putand trying to compartmentalize byclosing doors between you and thefire, prevent the smoke from cominginto the room, and putting somethingover your nose and mouth to filter theair and hoping for the best.Source: Wikihow

1. Draw a map of your home. Show alldoors and windows.

2. Visit each room. Find two ways out.Check to make sure the escape routes areclear.

3. All windows and doors should openeasily. You should be able to use them toget outside.

4. Make sure your home has smokealarms. Push the test button to make sureeach alarm is working. Install smokealarms in every sleeping room, outsideeach sleeping area and on every level ofthe home.

5. Pick a meeting place outside. Itshould be in front of your home. Everyonewill meet at the meeting place. Make sureto mark the location of the meeting placeon your escape plan.

6. Make sure your house or buildingnumber can be seen from the street toensure that responding emergency per-sonnel can find your home.

7. Talk about your plan with everyone inyour home. Make sure everyone under-stands it.

8. If there are infants, older adults, orfamily members with mobility limitations,make sure that someone is assigned toassist them in the fire drill and in theevent of an emergency. Assign a backup

person too, in case the designee is nothome during the emergency.

9. Tell guests or visitors to your homeabout your family’s fire escape plan. Whenstaying overnight at other people’shomes, ask about their escape plan. Ifthey don’t have a plan in place, offer tohelp them make one. This is especiallyimportant when children are permitted toattend “sleepovers” at friends’ homes.See NFPA’s “Sleepover fire safety for kids”fact sheet.

10. Allow children to master fire escapeplanning and practice before holding afire drill at night when they are sleeping.The objective is to practice, not to fright-en, so telling children there will be a drillbefore they go to bed can be as effectiveas a surprise drill.

11. It’s important to determine duringthe drill whether children and others canreadily waken to the sound of the smokealarm. If they fail to awaken, make surethat someone is assigned to wake themup as part of the drill and in a real emer-gency situation.

12. Practice your home fire escape plantwice a year, making the drill as realisticas possible.
