Arvada Fire Department :
Citizens Fire Academy
A few years ago, I experienced one of the most memorable things in my
life when I took advantage of an opportunity to connect over the entire
Memorial weekend with my community by participating in the Arvada
Fire Protection District's annual Citizen's Fire Academy. I was able
to learn about fire and medical response in our community plus emergency
preparedness, water rescue, urban search and rescue, vehicle extrication
and more! Not only did we get a chance to sit through classes on
fire prevention, hazardous materials, proper use of fire extinguishers
and CPR - but also went 60-80' up on Truck 6 ladder which was super
cool. On the second day, we suited up in firefighter gear (including
oxygen tanks) and went inside a burning building in search of survivors
(mannequins). We were able to personally use vehicle extrication tools
like cutters and spreaders to literally pry donated vehicles apart to
safely remove passengers (that's me on the hood of the car). We were
taught how to properly hold fire hoses and knock down a raging fire and
more importantly, understand the various roles each firefighter plays
during a real call. It's all so carefully orchestrated and I gained an
even greater respect and appreciation of the men and women who serve our
community. The experience was a wonderful (life-changing) opportunity to
connect with my community, but it also created friendships among the
community and firefighters - the same guys who attend my annual 4th of
July parades. Most police and fire departments throughout the country
offer these community programs and I strongly encourage you to get
involved - you won't regret it! Enjoy my photos!
