Fire safety training

As a manager of the library and the given the history of fires at this facility in Summer 2008 and January 2009; I think the training was needed at our branch and all the staff benefited by the hands-on training and presentation about the fire extinguisher and a tour of the exit points and furnance rooms on the facility. We are know keeping the emergency and furnance room keys seperate from the ususal bunch of keys. Hilary, Linda, Margaret and Ching attended the 60 minute training on Feb 23, 9-10 am. The training was conducted by Jerry and his team (Greg, Ryan and Pete) from the Swift Current Fire Department.

The fire training session was very helpful in reviewing where all the fire extinguishers are stored and their applications as to the sort of fire we might experience. Emergency procedures were covered in the presentation as well as practical hands-on practice with the alarm system. It was a good safety session for me.

It was good to learn how to tell if your fire extinguisher will work for the type of fire you have. We learned how there are three parts that make a fire: fuel, heat, and oxygen. Without one of these the fire will die. Also we learned PASS: how to use the fire extinguisher (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep).
