Tonight (November 2, 2014) is daylight savings time. We are to change our clocks back 1 hour. This also means we have to change the batteries in the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This should be done no matter what! Working smoke detectors are proven to save lives!
Here are some facts and tips from the American Red Cross website.
Members participated in training with our new airbag systems. Reps from Paratech rescue equipment came to South Wall and provided 3 hours of hands on training on hi pressure and low pressure air cushions. This equipment replaced old airbags that were past their expiration date. They are in service on our Heavy Rescue truck and are part of our Structural Collapse and Vehicle Extrication equipment.
