Inside Boulder - Fire Safety Month
A
With
a
terrible
fourmile
canyon
fire
of
last
month,
fresh
in
our
minds,
it
is
timely
that
October
is
National
Fire
Prevention
Month
with
us
today
to
talk
about
the
fire
safety
efforts
at
the
boulder
fire
department
does
is
sherry
Kenyon.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
today.
Sherry
you're,
welcome
done
thanks
for
having
me,
so,
among
other
things,
that
you
do
as
the
fire
safety
educator
for
boulder
fire
department.
You
teach
young
children
about
how
to
be
safe.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
firefighters
in
the
classroom
program?
Oh.
B
Sure
this
is
one
of
our
favorites,
so
every
October
in
honor
of
October
being
National
Fire,
Prevention
Month
our
firefighter
instructors,
who
are
on
the
education,
specialty
team
on
their
days
off
work
overtime
and
spend
a
whole
day
in
each
elementary
school
teaching.
All
the
first
second
and
third
grades,
there's
a
different
lesson
plan
for
each
one
that
builds
on
the
other.
So
first
graders
have
a
little
pink
piece
of
paper
and
they
choose
their
meeting
place.
B
Second
graders
or
learning
mapping
skills,
so
they
draw
their
home,
escape
plans
to
their
own
floor
plan
and
then
third
graders
are
in
charge
of
waking
up
their
older,
siblings
and
making
them
get
up
and
do
their
home
fire
drills
and
their
timing
them
and
the
boulder
teachers
have
helped
create
this
over
the
years.
It's
a
very
popular
program.
We
love
teaching
sure.
C
B
That's
that's
the
best
part,
because
we've
made
this
a
family
homework
each
one
of
these
grades,
so
the
children
take
the
homework
home
and
the
parents
have
to
do
it
with
them
and
sign
off
on
it
because
of
course,
I
was
trying
to
involve
the
adults.
There
are
the
people
who,
by
the
smoke,
alarms
make
sure
the
batteries
are
in
them
they're
in
charge
overall
of
home
safety.
So
children
can
learn
a
lot,
but
it's
really
the
parents
who
need
to
implement
it
so
the
feedback
we
get
our
things
like
uh-oh.
B
Is
a
couple
years
ago
we
had
quite
a
significant
apartment
fire
at
the
fairways
apartments.
Basically,
at
55th
and
rapaho,
there
were
two
families
there
whose
children
go
to
eisenhower
elementary.
They
had
done
their
family
safety
homeworks
and
reported
that
they
knew
exactly
what
to
do
when
they
heard
those
smoke
alarms
sounding
they
evacuated.
They
did
exactly
the
right
thing,
they'd
practiced
it
and
I'm
sure
it
helped
save
their
lives.
What.
B
Average
once
a
day
either
the
firefighters
on
the
engines
or
myself
are
teaching
once
a
day
in
Boulder.
So
we
do
an
awful
lot
of
that.
Quiet
safety
work,
it's
not
glamorous,
so
it's
not
necessarily
newsworthy
doesn't
make
the
headlines.
But
besides
the
schools,
we
do
a
lot
of
teaching
with
the
Cu
students,
both
on
campus
when
they're
freshmen
and
the
residence
halls,
so
they're
learning
when
they
move
off
campus
that
if
it
candles
a
hazard
in
the
residence
hall,
it's
also
a
hazard
in
their
first
apartment.
So
that's
been
very
successful.
B
We
do
a
lot
of
training,
even
with
landlords
and
property
managers,
so
when
they're
signing
up
those
students
for
their
first
leases
when
they're
19
years
old
they're
having
to
pay
attention
to
the
fire
safety
parts
of
living
on
their
own,
but
we
teach
also
in
a
lot
of
work,
places
and
businesses.
So
we
teach
how
to
use
fire
extinguishers,
how
to
do
their
evacuation
plans,
how
to
make
sure
that
people
in
their
workplace
understand
their
life
safety
systems.
How
do
those
sprinklers
work,
you
know?
Are
they
going
to
drown?
All
of
us?
B
You
know
how
does
all
of
that
happen,
because
if
you
can
teach
people
the
why
of
what
you're
asking
them
to
do,
then
they'll
do
it.
They
just
need
to
understand
it
and
when
we
teach
in
the
workplace
it
would
be
very
remiss
if
we
didn't
also
have
them
transfer
that
knowledge
to
home
fires
usually
happen
at
home.
It's
just
like
the
school's.
We
practice
fire
drills
every
month
and
it's
wonderful
and
the
children
are
not
afraid
and
they
know
what
to
do.
But
fires
don't
usually
happen
at
school.
B
C
B
Absolutely
is
that's
a
great
way
to
put
it
some
of
the
Cu.
Students
have
said
that
you're
teaching
us
life
skills,
not
just
fire
safety,
and
that's
really
true.
If
you
learn
it
at
some
age,
what's
important
and
how
to
get
out
and
have
two
ways
out
and
have
a
working
smoke
alarm,
because
it's
your
best
and
early
this
morning,
then
you
will
comply.
When
the
alarm
goes
off,
you
will
evacuate
and
our
seas.
Students
are
evacuating
almost
a
hundred
percent
one
hundred
percent
of
the
time
so
they're
learning
it.
That's.
