Put some gear on Mr Mayor .. you kno the kid in you wants to. ( said in a joking way)

Thank you, Mayor McGehee for spending a little time with the team of guys who work 24/7x52+ to ensure that we are safe and can concentrate on our own daily tasks. Life is a lot easier if we don’t need to worry about safety and protection. But we also do need to instruct our citizenry that fire prevention is a community thing and everyone should practice safe methods when handling fire and electricity plus ensure that the circuitry is inspected at regular intervals of time. Prevention is much more desirable than having to apply emergency cures.

Must be nice. Well done.

Very great place to train best in the state!

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Today marks the 20 year anniversary of the tragic Seton Hall University Fire at Boland Hall that took the lives of three students. Two of the survivors, Alvaro Llanos and Shawn Simons have dedicated their lives to educating high school and college aged kids on fire safety by presenting their “After the Fire” program. Each year, Alvaro and Shawn make a visit to Columbia High School in Maplewood to present their program to the students that will be heading off to college the following year. Both Alvaro and Shawn sustained severe burns that night and share their story of their challenging recovery. Maplewood FMBA Local 25 would like to thank you for your dedication in educating students to prevent such tragedies. ... See MoreSee Less

That applies to anything that causes fires including kitchen tasks like cooking, playing with electrical wires, Christmas lights too. “ Definition of 'to play with fire' If you say that someone is playing with fire, you mean that they are doing something dangerous that may result in great harm for them and cause many problems. Those who even venture to think about mass layoffs are playing with fire.”

Thank you, Alvaro Llanos and Shawn Simons. You need to start at the beginning when God created Fire and Water. It is extremely important to teach the community, not just students, that anything that can cause Fire needs to handled responsibly. “Do not play with Fire” uses the word fire for a reason.

I also expect that we need something stronger than forcing high school students to go to an auditorium to listen about something that happened before they were born. It may be just something they have been requested to do and then ... school as usual.
