Why
do so many fire trucks go to a call?
Why does a
fire truck go to a car accident?
What kind
of training do volunteer firefighters have?
Are our township
volunteer fire companies prepared to handle my emergency?
Why does the
fire company show up sometimes when I call for an ambulance?
The
North Whitehall Township Citizens' Fire Academy is a program
that has been established to answer these questions and more.
One night a week for six weeks, your Township volunteers will
teach you how they do their job. For the first time, citizens
will be able to gain classroom and hands-on experience to
help them understand what being a volunteer firefighter is
all about.
The Academy
will be held Wednesday nights from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM for
six consecutive weeks. The first night will be October 8,
2008 at the North Whitehall Township Municipal building, 3256
Levans Road.
Topics
to be covered in the Academy include fire extinguishers, firefighter
personal protective equipment, CPR training, rescue and many
other aspects of emergency training.
To register
for the Academy, you must live or work in the Township. For
registration or information call Darlene at 610-799-3411.
