Send us a textOctober 6-12, 2024, is Fire Prevention Week.  Since we have many firefighters in our family who are constantly reminding us of what we need to be on top of regarding fire safety in our rental properties, we thought we would do a shorty episode to go over fire safety tips.In this episode, we are focusing on who is responsible for what tasks.  So, we are discussing all the fire safety responsibilities that the landlord must take care of and then jumping over to the other side and discussing what the tenants must handle.And newsflash, even if the tenant has some responsibility in making sure your rentals remain safe, it is up to you to manage that they are following through and doing those tasks. We are also including what landlords need to do to mitigate the risks of tenants not following through.  As this episode runs much shorter than our usual episodes, I hope you can make the time check this important episode out.LINKS

This is yet a reminder as it falls on the start of national fire prevention week, make sure your smoke alarms are up to date and working! You never know when you are going to need to escape!

Todds department held an Open House, so he breaks down what they did with the public and we discuss some of the key things to keep in mind for prevention and safety. We go on to discuss up coming training which will see us doing Driver Training as well as Search techniques. WHO WE ARE As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

Our conversation today with Stacy McFarland, Executive Director for the Greater Shenandoah Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross was FULL of information. Stacy educated us on several different programs and services offered by her organization and explained her chapter's coverage area: Washington County, MD, the five counties in the Eastern Panhandle of WV, and all of the top of Virginia including Shenandoah, Page, Warren, and Clarke Counties plus the City of Winchester. We talked about being "Red Cross Ready" for any situation whether it impacts your home and family or your workplace and business. She gave details for their Ready Rating program and explained that any business with ten or more employees is required by OSHA to have an emergency preparedness plan in place. You can find templates and checklists for those here: https://www.readyrating.org/ Stacy also reminded us that checklists and apps are also available on their website to help you be prepared for a short or long-term emergency.  This week kicks off Fire Prevention Week (October 8-14, 2023) so Stacy also reminded us that they still have free smoke detectors for area residents. You can call 844-216-8286 and they will come to your home and install several smoke alarms to make sure that your home is properly sounded in case of a fire.  Stacy also gave an update on the critical need for blood donations. In August they were 35,000 donations short of simply maintaining their blood supply. She explained why blood donations are important, educated us on the treatment of Sickle Cell Disease, and encouraged everyone in our black and brown communities to consider a blood donation. We discussed how blood drives work and the number of volunteers needed to make them successful. In addition to "on location" blood drives, the Greater Shenandoah Valley chapter hosts a blood drive at their location (561 Fortress Drive, Winchester, VA) every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Before we wrapped our conversation, we talked a bit about the value of volunteers from helping with intake and cookie distribution at blood drives, to being boots on the ground in disaster situations. Stacy also encouraged community members to consider serving on her board. Ideally, she would like to have representatives from each of our localities. As a board member, you would basically be a Red Cross ambassador. Stacy explained that duties include speaking to groups (And their circle of influence) about the Red Cross, the importance of blood donations, and why is critical to have Red Cross in our community. If you're interested and would like to talk more with Stacy about it, send her an email. You can find a WEALTH of information on their website: https://www.redcross.org/

Hello everybody!! Hope you are all doing well! It FINALLY feels like fall-weather is here. Man, do we have an episode for you all! Not only does our pal and sponsor Dr. Andy Vantreese fill-in for Colton, but with Fire Prevention Week coming up the Listen Local crew felt it was the perfect time to bring on Pequot Fire Chief Mike Schwankl and Nisswa Fire Chief Shawn Bailey.Both talk about everything from events coming up - including open houses at the Nisswa Fire Department next Tuesday Oct. 10th and Pequot Fire Department on Wednesday the 11th - to fire prevention, the importance of checking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly, and how both cities are looking to hire firefighters. On that note of Nisswa and Pequot needing firefighters, both Chiefs make their pitch to Jacob on why he should join their department. While one of them offers the cover of the firefighters calendar and a brand new ladder truck, the other offers being right next door to his favorite spots Main Street Ale House and Ye olde Pickle Factory. So, as you can imagine, Jacob is eating up this recruitment process... In all seriousness though, if you have ever thought of joining a fire department, stop by or reach out to your local fire chief. Like Pequot and Nisswa, many are looking to hire more firefighters. Thank you so much to Chiefs Bailey and Schwankl, and we highly encourage our Listen Local listeners to stop by the open houses next week!

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast presented by Powers Electrical Solutions. Today is Wednesday, October 4th and I'm Keith Ippolito.   In preparation for Fire Prevention Week, Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services is emphasizing the importance of preventing cooking fires. This year's campaign theme is "Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention." Cooking is a leading cause of home fires and injuries in the U.S., often due to unattended cooking. To reduce the risk of cooking fires, they advise to Keep a close eye on your cooking, Turn pot handles away from the stove's edge and have a lid ready to smother grease fires, and Maintain a "kid- and pet-free zone" around the stove or grill. The department is also hosting events to promote fire safety. For more news about our community, visit tribuneledgernews.com.

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of October 2 and October 9, 2023. SOUNDS - ~5 sec – Fire engine siren and horn. In this episode, we feature several mystery sounds to revisit the topic of a national safety campaign held every October.  Have a listen for about 25 seconds and see if you can guess the dangerous phenomenon that sparks this campaign. SOUNDS - ~26 sec – Smoke alarm, fire alarm announcement, fire hydrant pressure test.  The fire alarm announcement was as follows: “Attention! Attention!  A fire emergency has been reported in the building.  Please walk to the nearest exit and evacuate the building.  Do not use the elevator.” If you guessed fire, you're right!  You heard a home smoke alarm, a fire-emergency announcement, and a fire-hydrant pressure test.  All are aspects of the constant and complicated challenge of preventing fires or protecting people, property, wildlife, and the environment when fires do occur. Fire safety by individuals, families, businesses, and communities is the focus of Fire Prevention Week, which in 2023 runs October 8-14; the observance always includes October 9, the date when the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 did most of its damage.  Fire Prevention Week has been sponsored annually since 1922 by the National Fire Protection Association, or NFPA.  NFPA sets a central theme for each year, and this year it's cooking safety.  According to U.S. Fire Administration data from 2012 through 2021, cooking is by far the leading single cause of residential building fires; for example, in 2021 there were an estimated 353,300 residential building fires in the United States, with 170,000 of those due to cooking, about twice the combined number due to building heating, electrical malfunctions, and miscellaneous other causes. NFPA provides many educational items, and one of the learning tools for this year is a “Cooking Safety Tip Sheet.”  Here are some fire-prevention points from that sheet. * Be alert while cooking, and avoid using a stove after consuming alcohol or if you're sleepy; * While frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food, stay in the kitchen, and turn off the stove if leaving the kitchen even for a short time; * While simmering, baking, or roasting food, stay in the residence, check the food regularly, and use a timer to remind you that food's cooking. * Keep flammable items—such as oven mitts, wooden utensils, towels, and food packaging—away from the stove top.  And* Have a “kid-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. Two additional recommendations from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management are the following. * Wear short, close-fitting, or tightly rolled sleeves while cooking.  And * Keep outdoor grills at least 10 feet away from siding and railings, and out from under building eaves and tree branches. The NFPA tip sheet and other educational resources are available online at nfpa.org; resources particularly for teachers, families, and children are available online at sparkyschoolhouse.org.

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT FIRE SAFETY The following information is quoted from the National Fire Prevention Association, “Public Education/Cooking,” online at https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Fire-causes-and-risks/Top-fire-causes/Cooking. What you should know about home cooking safety *Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don't use the stove or stovetop. *Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, boiling, or broiling food. *If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the kitchen while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. *Keep anything that can catch fire—oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains—away from your stove top. If you have a cooking fire *Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire. *Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave. *If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out and you have a clear way out. *Keep a lid nearby when you're cooking to smother small grease fires.  Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stovetop.  Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled. *For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. Safety considerations for cooking with oil *Always stay in the kitchen when frying on the stove top. *Keep an eye on what you fry.  If you see wisps of smoke or the oil smells, immediately turn off the burner and/or carefully remove the pan from the burner.  Smoke is a danger sign that the oil is too hot. *Heat the oil slowly to the temperature you need for frying or sautéing. *Add food gently to the pot or pan so the oil does not splatter. *Always cook with a lid beside your pan.  If you have a fire, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner.  Do not remove the cover because the fire could start again.  Let the pan cool for a long time. Never throw water on the fire. *If the fire does not go out or you don't feel comfortable sliding a lid over the pan, get everyone out of your home.  Call the fire department from outside.
