I agree, We should also train with them for normal house fires for crowd control etc.
Attention all CERT, we should show our support for the community and make a parade in honor of emergency preparedeness and have it in September. We need a grand marshall, maybe Derek? And we need someone to be the manager to make this go on without a need for CERT people to respond.
Do not forget to put your lights on Tuesday for National Night Out.
Note: New CERT Refresher 7PM THIS WEDNESDAY at the Fire Acadamy. Don't register; just show up, ready to learn advanced rescue scenarios.
You'll be also be moving large pieces of concrete from one place to another, using cribbing, simple machines and problem solving skills.
