Safety Volunteers: Thanks for riding this bronco with us. We were able to get back up, dust off our chaps, and hop back into the saddle. We have another certified trainer for the CPR/First Aid training! We will be reverting to the original timeline as listed below. Please reach out if you have any questions.
WHO: MEATS, Rangers, and Sanctuary volunteers who have not already had training this year. DATE: Saturday September 16th TIME: 10am-5pm 09:30 AM - Earliest arrival 10:00 AM - CPR and Morning Department Training 11:30 AM - Afternoon Participants can begin arriving 12:00 PM - Snack Break 12:30 PM - Radio Training and ICS Drill 2:30 PM - Snack Break 3:00 PM - Afternoon Department Training 5:00 PM - Go Home! (Our host has requested that we be out asap after 5 as they have another event shortly after) REGISTER HERE IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO TEST FOR COVID-19 SATURDAY MORNING. The last thing we want is to have the entire safety team down with Covid for burn, and we have immunocompromised volunteers joining us on Saturday. #CivicResponsibility and whatnot. LOCATION: 7700 Swan Park Dr, Denton TX 76210 Corner lot, plenty of parking, but carpool if you can. We are in an HOA but we've had no noise or neighbor complaints so far, let's keep it that way. 3 dogs live here, a gentle giant and 2 old Chihuahuas. Please don't bring any more pets. There is a bathroom downstairs and upstairs. If you are bringing a service animal please let me know so we can expect their presence with you. VIRTUAL TRAINING will be simulcast for Sanctuary. If you can’t attend, ON-LAND TRAINING will be done on Friday. Rangers from 1-5 pm, Fire from 5-6 pm, Sanctuary from 6-8 pm, Meats from 8-10 pm. Please reach out to your Lead to see about additional virtual training opportunities. Note: Please complete your independent ICS training prior to the Expo if you are not previously certified. If this training is not completed by burn you will have to be reassigned Roles that require FEMA Training - ICS 100: Shift Supervisors and MHA Roles that must ALSO have FEMA Training - ICS 200: Leads and Duty Chiefs and MHA You know the drill - it's a burner event, so bring along everything you need, but at the very least bring a folding chair or a comfy floor cushion, your water, and anything else you know you will be wanting. We will be feeding you. Update 9/15: We found replacement instructors - please see latest blog post here: http://www.ntxb.org/blog/new-moar-safety-extravaganza-updates Unfortunately our MEATS lead has just tested Covid positive, a risk inherent in her healthcare profession. We appreciate everything Miera has put into prepping the Safety Extravaganza so far.
The bad news for y'all is that Miera is our current CPR/First Aid/AED trainer. This means that WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER CPR/BLS/AED TRAINING THIS SATURDAY (9/16) AT THE SAFETY EXTRAVAGANZA. Gritt, MEATS assistant lead will be training department protocols for MEATS. If you have been considering learning the fine art of Rangering or developing your skill in active listening, Rangers and Sanctuary will be offering their full training sessions. This may be a good cross training opportunity for prospective MEATS volunteers who would like to broaden their skillset. Please consider coming out this Saturday even if you can't get your certification at this event. Watch here on NTXB.org for updates about future CPR/BLS/AED training opportunities. Much appreciation as always for keeping Myschievia safe! |
