After delivering classes in Region-5 and Region-3 last month, I’ll finally make it back to Region-4…in Kentucky!
The September intel training didn’t happen. Maybe I’ll have to reschedule that for December.
As usual, the bulk of the month will be spent in Region-5.
I’ll be heading down to the State of Ohio PIO Symposium this Friday. Will I see you there?
It is National Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12, 2013).
To help you remember, feel free to include the picture below to push your messages of fire safety and fire prevention.
No one likes a disaster – Heh heh (I do enjoy when celebrities help push national initiatives).
4 easy steps to guide the general public this week:
1. Learn more about the smoke detectors, specifically the differences between ionization and photoelectric (from @OhioFire @OhioFireAcademy).
2. Make a family plan and upon evacuation, have a central meeting place to account for all family members.
3. Build an emergency kit that will help everyone during a disaster or emergency.
4. Interact and get involved within your community and push safety efforts with all public safety professionals.
Thanks to Tanya Ferraro for the inspiration for today’s post.

October 6th – 12th is National Fire Prevention Week! Did you know there are many different brands of smoke alarms available on the market, but they fall under two basic types: ionization and photoelectric. It cannot be stated definitively that one is better than the other in every fire situation that could arise in a residence. Because both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms are better at detecting distinctly different, yet potentially fatal fires, and because no one can predict what type of fire might start in a home, most firefighters recommend that every residence and place where people sleep be equipped with:
In addition to the basic types of alarms, there are alarms made to meet the needs of people with hearing disabilities. These alarms may use strobe lights that flash and/or vibrate to assist in alerting those who are unable to hear standard smoke alarms when they sound. Make sure you place them in strategic locations throughout the house. 
Step-1: Get an Ionization AND photoelectric smoke alarm or dual sensor smoke alarm. Step-2: Get it before this happens…
