Fire Safety Trailer-VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The Lenexa Fire Department contacted us with the schedule for their Fire Safety Trailer visits at Lenexa-area elementary schools in honor of Fire Safety Month.  They apologized for the short notice, but the first visits begin next week so the need for volunteers is urgent.  If you want to sign up for a slot (or three), please respond to Ashley Sherard as soon as possible and she will keep the master schedule.

 

Many of you have volunteered before and know the drill. For those that haven't, we assist the firefighters as they take 3rd graders (fire safety) and 5th graders (severe weather) through the trailer in 30-minute slots. The firefighters do all the talking and crowd control; Rotarians simply support them from a little control room by answering faux 911 calls, operating the smoke machine, etc., and resetting "fire hazards" between classes. There isn't much for us to do for the severe weather presentations. Either the volunteer before you or the firefighters can show you what to do.
