FIRE DEPARTMENTBrookings Fire Department The Importance of Fire Education
The Brookings Fire Department, along with the rest of America's fire departments, is improving response time's everyday. But for all of that our fire death rate is worse than in Western Europe or Asia. So what's the problem here? The answer can be summed up in one word: EDUCATION. We teach, every year during Fire Prevention month in October, how important knowing these steps for survival are and still lives are lost. So out of concern for your safety, we would like to join you at any time to teach these lifesaving measures to your group. Fire safety is a life and death matter, and it's something people need to act on. We will be glad to come to your class, civic group, church or business to talk to you. Where your life or the lives of others are at stake, it's a crime just to do nothing. Remember that you're in charge. Help us save lives, TODAY! Learn More About Fire Safety The goal of our profession is to SAVE LIVES. We are ready and willing to educate you on how to stay alive when an emergency occurs. We train hard and educate ourselves because your life depends on it. But what happens before the Brookings Fire Department gets there? Do you know what to do? Your life also depends on you knowing how to survive when an emergency occurs. Let us speak to your group or family about ways to keep everyone safe. Whether it is acquainting youngsters with firefighters and stop, drop and roll or teaching the adults how to react in an emergency, we will help. We will also be happy to let you tour our station and see what we do everyday! |
