Keynote Donna Forgy We Work Way Too Hard as Instructors At the end of an 8-hour or even 4-hour class room day are you physically and emotionally drained? Did you spend most of the day lecturing and spitting slides out to keep your audience engaged? Did you notice that the participants were just warm bodies taking up a seat? Research supports that most learning occurs in group exercises. There are methods that increase both the quality and quantity of student involvement. Not to mention the fact that there is a direct correlating between fun and learning. There are some easily understood common sense techniques that will engage even the dead beat students. General Session Robert Crandall Partnering to Improve Safety for People With I/DD People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are at increased risk of injury and death in residential fires. Experts from the fire service and disabilities agencies worked together to develop the Safe at Home program, which looks at both environmental factors and safety skills to improve the safety of people with I/DD who live independently. Together, they built a replicable model that has shown success in helping people with I/DD know what to do to prevent fires and how to escape them safely. This presentation will introduce the program design and content, describe its successes and challenges, and outline the steps you can take to identify partners and bring Safe at Home to your community. out Sessions Sherrie Guerrero Life s Not a Game, Saving One Can Be! Learning fire and injury prevention through games is fun and interactive way to engage kids to learn. I ve created TV show games for the past 10 years for our 3rd grade program for Fire Prevention Month, the games are based on the State of Colorado curriculum. Here are some of the games I ve created, Deal or No Deal, Fire Safety Bingo, Are you Smarter than a Firefighter, Firefighter Feud, The Price is Life, Westminster Fire Brain Drain and so on. The games can be created on a low budget with one Public Educator. Molly Play safe! Be safe! For Young Children This workshop will review the surprising frequency of young children s misuse of fire, present sound strategies to educate and motivate children and families to change their behavior toward fire and fire safety, and encourage the adoption well regarded safety practices. All participants will receive a play safe! be safe! kit at no cost for use in their outreach efforts. The workshop will cover how best to use the kit and the on-line activities at www.playsafebesafe.com and information on how communities can obtain additional materials. Jack Durjan Art of Illusion with Fire and Life Safety Presentations This class is for the beginner magician and for the expert magician. Any person who wants to bring the humor into the classroom this is an easy way to do it. Learn the secrets of the art and enjoy the smiles and request for more programs. The student will learn 5 /7 very easy basic tricks and illusions with easy to use props. Classroom participation is required to help with the learning of the art. The only tools required will be self-motivated imagination, a sense of humor, and the will to teach and have fun while saving lives of the public. The prop making portion of the class is very easy to follow as well. Once the secrets are known it s now up to the student to create the best delivery and perfect it for their use. Resource information will be handed out for follow up when the student returns home.
Becky Booker Home Safety: A Journey to the UK and Beyond For Answers This is one person s journey in the fire service to make an impact on fires in the US. No longer can we accept the number of fire deaths of residents and firefighters without considering changing the direction of some of our priorities. Come on a quest that starts with 20 years of experience doing fire prevention in the homes and follow along to England to find the secrets of their amazing success in turning the numbers of fires around in their country. You will be given all the tools to create a home safety survey. Then watch things change! Neal Zipser Sand on Home Fire Fatalities The presentation examines the home fire fatalities issue nationally and in New York state and the problem of non-working smoke alarms. We look at why alarms fails, what can be done to increase the number of working alarms, where they should be installed and the latest alarm technologies, including 10-year sealed batteries and wireless interconnected alarms. Presentation moves fast and includes several videos. Fire Science and Our Keeping Up? We know that fire moves faster in a building than ever before due to our furnishings but do you know what is really happening during a fire? Given the speed of fire and smoke, are our messages about escaping a fire still relevant? How do we prevent all fires and is that possible through education alone? The placement of home smoke alarms has changed, do you know where they can be placed on the ceiling? Discuss these concerns, fire flow, and smoke production and take today s scientific understanding of fire and hold our common fire safety messages up for examination. Students will leave with a better understanding of how fire prevention education and engineering work hand in hand to mitigate the impact of fire. Patty Couture Prevention Think Outside the Box Think outside the traditional box of Fire Prevention. Let s explore a new approach to how we present and who we present to. Doing the traditional teaching to our school age children is still essential, but there are many more groups that need to be reached. Our senior citizens need more information now that many are living alone. Home health agencies, college students and the general public are other target audiences.
