[HFDlist] SAFE class

[Leah Francese-Wood]

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FROM LT. DAVE CHAPIN-

Hello: As the SAFE Coordinator, I am looking for 2 people who would be 
interested in assisting me teach the SAFE Program in preschools, 
elementary, middle and High School. There would also be work with the 
elderly through the Senior Center. I have had help in the past which was 
much appreciated, but as the town is growing....seems I can't do this 
task on my own. Those that are willing to teach will need to take the 
40-hour PUBLIC FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY EDUCATOR class. This class is listed 
on the DFS website. The class gives the basics on going into schools and 
teaching different learning styles.

As my schedule has become limited, I am looking for FFs that are 
comfortable going into the schools, teaching lessons taught in the past, 
and creating other lesson plans. Experience in this, makes it easier!

The Academy has 1 class listed so far this year. The class will be March 
21, 22, 28, 29 and April 4th. Class is from 8A to 4P in Billerica at the 
Middlesex Sherriffs Office. This class will be paid out of SAFE budget 
and includes travel to and from class.

If there are multiple FFs interested I can certainly put in the SAFE 
budget for next year, 2 more people. I may have to conduct an informal 
interview process if interest is high. This town is getting bigger and 
bigger and it's great to have a core group of people interested in 
teaching not only students, but the public about fire safety and 
prevention. Not to mention that as Firefighters, that's all of our jobs 
to do regardless. Thank you!  Dave.
