CHAIN SAW SAFETY
NEW **  The Fire Prevention Week, Open House was a hit.  A Free Bean Dinner was prepared by the CERT team.  There where about 75 members of the community, both adult and children who toured the fire house, and received information on fire safety.
 
What can we do to top this next year?  Maybe a Chili cook-off.

 NEW ** The CERT team now has a chain saw and power generator.   Safety equipment, helmets with hearing and face protection, kevlar chaps, gloves and repair items have been purchased.  Training in chain saw use and safety is being scheduled.  This training will include training on the care and maintenance of the saw, proper techniques for use, and hands on training cutting up debris.

 

 

We are looking for a vehicle for doing "REHAB".  What we need is a truck, such as the medic or the HAZMAT truck.  A vehicle with lots of compartments to store equipment and supplies.  We have been told the old Medic we had our eye on is pretty well worn out. 

 

CERT now has a trailer  and our next step is to get it fully equiped

and ready to respond. 

 

The list of equipment includes items both large and small, expensive and inexpensive, from

axes to wrenches.  We need power generators, lights, shovels, rakes, buckets, mops,

power saws, chain saws, ladders, and much more.  See our page "CERT Trailer Equipment List".
