A
A
B
A
firefighter
was
something
that
I
always
wanted
to
do.
I
grew
up
in
a
small
town
where
we
had
a
great
volunteer
fire
department
and
I
did
not
know
that
there
was
actually
a
career
for
firefighting.
I
thought
that
I
would
go
to
iowa
state
get
my
engineering
degree
and
I
would
be
a
volunteer
firefighter
well.
B
My
second
year
of
college
I
learned
that
you
could
actually
be
a
career
firefighter
I
learned
that
from
a
couple
Ames
firefighters
that
I
happen
to
run
into
and
and
so
then
I
went
through
the
recruit,
Academy
and
started
pursuing
my
degree
in
fire
science
and
end
up
getting
hired
on
themes.
Fire
department
well.
A
B
A
Whenever
you're
in
a
new
place
and
I
always
think
about
this,
whenever
I
stayed
a
hotel,
it's
your
new
you're
new
to
the
environment,
you
don't
know
where
the
exits
are.
You
don't
know
where
the
safe
places
are.
What
are
some
of
the
things
you
recommend?
Students
do
who
may
be
living
in
a
place?
They
haven't
lived
before
absolutely.
B
That's
one
of
the
things
we
want
people
to
be
aware
of
is
what
we
call
Edith
it's
actually
eat
us
is
an
acronym
stands
for
exit
drills
in
the
home,
and
this
is
suddenly,
when
you
remember
from
when
we
were
younger.
We
ask
a
lot
of
students
to
go
home
and
practice
actually
drills
with
their
families,
so
they
know
two
ways
out
of
the
home,
and
this
really
applies
for
college
students,
unfortunately
we're
creatures
of
habit.
B
So
when
we
go
into
our
apartment,
complex
or
into
our
home,
we
always
go
the
same
way,
and
we
we
forget
that
our
building
has
two
ways
out:
it
could
be
through
a
window.
It
could
be
a
down
the
hall
down
another
set
of
stairs,
but
what
we
really
encourage
college
students
to
do
when
they
get
into
their
new
new
residents,
whether
it's
even
the
dorms
that
they
try
to
figure
out.
B
What
are
a
couple
ways
I
can
get
out
of
this
building,
for
example,
if
you're
on
the
third
or
fourth
floor
of
a
building,
the
window
is
not
an
option
for
you
need
to
make
sure
that
you
have
a
second
way
out.
Perhaps
down
the
hallway
at
a
second
set
of
egress
stairs,
so
we
encourage
students
to
make
sure
they
know
two
ways
out
and
actually
go
ahead
and
practice
that
drill
in
the
dorms
they'll
actually
do
fire
drills.
They
do
to
a
year.
We
encourage
them
during
that
time
to
take
a
different
route.
A
B
When
you
need
to
get
creative
and
start
thinking,
do
I
need
to
have
some
type
of
ladder
that
I
can
throw
out
the
window.
What
are
my
options
and
and
that's
something?
That's
fire
department-
we're
happy
to
help
out
if,
if
people
have
any
questions
or
need
help
planning
the
exit
drills
in
the
homes,
we're
just
a
phone
call
away
and
we're
happy
to
offer
any
advisory
and
come
out
to
your
home
and
help
do
a
safety
inspection
with
you
and
identify
those
two
ways
out
so.
B
I'm
sure
my
neighbors
kind
of
get
a
kick
when
they
see
me
practicing
with
my
kids
at
home,
getting
out
the
window
and
just
doing
a
fire
drill
and
going
over
to
the
neighbor's
mailbox
and
practicing
those
things.
But
those
are
things
that
are
very
important
if
we
can
practice
those
and
drill
those
in
even
as
adults
as
college
students.
B
A
As
we
talk
about
moving
into
a
new
place,
one
of
the
things
that
I
always
remember
to
do
when
I
moved
to
new
places
check
those
smoke
detectors,
because
you
really
don't
know
how
the
person
before
you
left
them.
What
kind
of
condition
they're
in
and
testing
smoke
detectors
is,
this
could
have
wrapped
up
into
sort
of
the
whole
home
safety
idea.
Absolutely.
B
Smoke,
detector
save
lives,
smoke,
alarms,
dia,
they
make
a
difference.
They
can
actually
cut
your
risk
of
dying
in
a
home
fire
by
half,
which
is
huge
just
having
a
working
smoke
detector.
We
encourage
anyone
with
a
smoke
detector
to
check
them
monthly.
We
want
also
when
it
comes
to
placement
of
smoke
detectors.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
one
in
every
sleeping
quarter.
We
want
to
have
them
outside
the
sleeping
rooms
and
we
also
want
to
have
one
on
every
floor
of
the
home.
B
A
A
little
bit
more
than
in
the
past,
I'd
always
heard
every
level
the
house,
including
the
basement
and
now
I
I,
don't
know
if
it's
new
but
I've
just
read
more
about
that
is
really
enough.
A
lot
of
fires
happen
overnight
when
you
might
be
sleeping.
Having
those
detectors
closer
to
the
sleeping
rooms
makes
a
difference.
Yeah.
B
Absolutely
what
we're
found
and
finding
out
on
the
national
state
and
even
local
level
is
that
a
quarter
of
all
fires,
home
fires
that
are
reported
actually
start
in
the
bedroom
so
having
a
smoke
detector
in
your
bedroom
Liske.
This
year's
fire
prevention
theme
is
actually
hear
the
beep
where
you
sleep,
and
so
that's
that's
the
the
national
level
they're
really
honing
in
on
making
sure
that
people
in
the
bedrooms
can
actually
hear
a
fire.
This
the
smoke
alarm
go
off,
so
they
can
get
out
quickly.
Well,.
A
B
In
fact,
half
of
all
home
fires
occur
between
11pm
and
seven
a.m.
in
the
morning,
which
that's
a
substantial
amount.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
a
critical
time
when
you
don't
have
the
response
time
that
you
would
normally
do
during
the
data
to
see
a
visible
fire.
You
you're
counting
on
that
smoke
alarm
to
wake
you
up
to.
Let
you
know
that
you
have
a
problem.
Well,.
A
B
I
remember
as
a
little
apprehensive
cooking
the
first
time
I
was
on
my
own,
but
luckily
I
didn't
have
any
fires
and
problems
with
that.
But
one
thing
we
remind
everybody
is
that
your
stove
is
not
part
of
your
counter
space.
Don't
when
you
get
home,
set
your
groceries
on
it
or
use
it
to
set
boxes,
treat
it
as
though
it's
hot
all
the
time,
even
with
little
kids.
A
B
Especially
with
the
grease
fire,
when
you
throw
the
water
onto
a
grease
fire
on
a
stovetop
grease
fire,
what
you're
doing
is
actually
displacing
that
grease,
that
is,
on
fire
and
you're,
causing
that
fire
to
spread.
So
what
we
encourage
people
to
do
is
if
they
have
a
container
of
baking,
soda
or
flour,
or
something
that
they
can
smother
the
fire,
even
just
something
as
simple
as
putting
the
lid
back
on
the
fire
will
help
cause
the
fire
to
die
down.
You
can
turn
the
fire
off
and
prevent
it
from
spreading.
Well.
B
Something
so
simple,
as
even
just
unplugging
a
device
can
make
the
difference
in
a
fire
and
cooking
fires
are
actually
the
leading
cause
of
reported
home
fire
injuries
for
people,
so
they're
they're,
very
dangerous.
One
thing
too:
when
it
comes
to
cooking,
is
we
want
people
to
be
attentive
when
they're
cooking?
We
don't
want
them
to
leave
the
room.
Go,
take
a
nap,
so
a
couple
good
ways
that
we
offer
up.
That
will
help
you
remember
that
you
are
cooking
to
set
a
timer.
B
Obviously,
if
you
have
pizza
in
the
oven,
I
set
a
timer,
so
you
have
an
audio
alarm
that
goes
off
to
let
you
know
that
when
that
pizza
is
done,
will
also
encourage
people.
If
you
forget
that
you're
cooking
are
you
pizza?
A
couple
times
is
to
go
ahead
and
grab
something
as
simple
as
a
cooking
spoon
and
then
carry
that
around
with
you
that
we
have
a
visual
reminder
in
your
hand
of
okay.
B
I
was
cooking,
I
need
to
go
back
and
check
on
that,
but
most
of
all,
we
want
people
to
stay
in
the
room
when
you're
cooking
watch.
What
you're
doing
it's
not
time
to
run
to
your
neighbor's
house
or
to
take
a
nap
so
really
pay
attention
that
will
help
cut
down
on
the
opportunity
for
a
cooking
fire
to
develop.
A
B
We
encourage
everybody
to
have
a
fire
extinguisher,
that's
that's
accessible.
You
can
get
them
in
any
local
retail
place.
They
have
them
available.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
what
type
to
get,
we
just
recommend
anything
that
you
can
get
over.
The
counter
is
going
to
be
sufficient
for
a
cooking
fire.
So
just
yeah
and.
B
I'm
glad
you
asked
that
question.
Actually
the
leading
cause
of
fire
deaths
in
the
u.s.
home
fire
reported
fire
deaths
in
the
u.s.
is
improperly
discarded
smoking
materials.
So
if
you
are
a
smoker
or
you
have
smoking
material,
we
want
to
ensure
that
you're
putting
it
out
under
water
before
you
discard
it.
What.
B
A
B
So
fire
prevention
is
a
year-round
process.
We
want
everyone
to
practice
fire
safety
all
the
time,
but
during
the
week
of
October.
Fourth,
through
the
10th
this
year,
it's
actually
recognized
as
national
National,
Fire,
Prevention
Week,
and
this
year's
model,
like
I
said,
is
hear
the
beep,
where
you
sleep,
and
this
year,
we're
actually
hosting
our
third
annual
open
house.
It's
going
to
be
on
Saturday
October
10th
from
nine
to
noon,
and
that's
going
to
be
at
fire
station
number
one
which
is
at
1300
burnett
avenue.
B
We're
actually
have
a
hose
there
for
the
kids,
so
I
can
practice
spraying
water,
and
this
year
we've
had
a
little
twist
we're
actually
going
to
have
some
of
the
the
kids
go
through
some
different
stop
drop
and
roll
some
different
fire
safety
skills
and
that's
going
to
allow
them
to
put
their
name
into
a
drawing
that
we're
going
to
have
where
we're
going
to
be
giving
away
some
smoke
detectors
and
some
fire
extinguishers
so
an
opportunity
for
a
child
to
win,
get
something
safe
for
their
home.
When
it
comes
to
fire
safety,
well,.
A
B
I'm
lucky
in
the
fact
that
I
get
to
work,
the
fire
department
I
get
to
see
all
that
stuff
every
day
and
occasionally
get
to
get
it
out
and
help
the
guys
on
calls
and
we're
so
much
more
than
a
fire
department
to
we
get
called
for
everything
and
anything,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
different
tools
that
I
think
the
public
likes
to
see
stuff
from
elevator
rescues
to
EMS
supplies.
To
just
a
chainsaw
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
different
tools
that
people
like
to
see
and
ask
questions
about.
B
A
If
you
want
more
information
on
that
fire
station
open
house,
it
is
Saturday
October
10th
and
you
can
get
more
information
on
our
website
at
city
of
ames
org.
Also,
some
things
to
think
about,
as
we
get
into
month
of
September,
don't
forget
that
there
will
be
replacement
tree
planting
going
on
on
saturday
September
26,
that
is
a
collaborative
project
between
the
city
of
Ames
and
the
Ames
foundation.
You
can
volunteer
to
help
plant
a
tree
by
going
