  	<category>Fire Prevention</category>
 <link>http://www.mapleshadefiredept.com/news/fullstory/newsid/154772</link>

Enhance the personal and organizational accountability for health and safety throughout the fire service. 
Focus greater attention on the integration of risk management with incident management at all levels, including strategic, tactical, and planning responsibilities. 
All firefighters must be empowered to stop unsafe practices. 
Develop and implement national standards for training, qualifications, and certification (including regular recertification) that are equally applicable to all firefighters based on the duties they are expected to perform. 
Develop and implement national medical and physical fitness standards that are equally applicable to all firefighters, based on the duties they are expected to perform. 
Create a national research agenda and data collection system that relates to the initiatives. 
Utilize available technology wherever it can produce higher levels of health and safety. 
Thoroughly investigate all firefighter fatalities, injuries, and near misses. 
Grant programs should support the implementation of safe practices and/or mandate safe practices as an eligibility requirement. 
National standards for emergency response policies and procedures should be developed and championed. 
National protocols for response to violent incidents should be developed and championed. 
Firefighters and their families must have access to counseling and psychological support. 
Public education must receive more resources and be championed as a critical fire and life safety program. 
Advocacy must be strengthened for the enforcement of codes and the installation of home fire sprinklers. 
Safety must be a primary consideration in the design of apparatus and equipment. ...]]>

 <![CDATA[10 Fire Safety Rules for Kids&nbsp;


&nbsp;
1.) Don't play with matches and lighters. If you see matches or a lighter where you can reach them, don't touch them. Go tell a grown up right away.
&nbsp;
2.) Ask your parents to install smoke detectors on every floor and in the sleeping areas of your home. Smoke detectors can save lives. Ask your parents to show you where each one is located.
3.) Remind your parents to test your smoke detectors every month. Make sure everyone in your family is familiar with its piercing sound. Teach them that this sound means danger, and they must escape quickly.
4.) When your parents change the time on your clocks for Daylight Savings, ask them to change your smoke alarm batteries. Give it fresh batteries and your smoke alarm will stay awake and watch for fire while you are sleeping.
5.) In case of fire: DON'T HIDE, GO OUTSIDE! Fires are scary, but you should NEVER hide in closets or under beds when there is a fire.
6.) To escape during a fire; Fall &amp;amp; Crawl. It is easier to breath in a fire if you stay low while getting out.Use the back of your hand to test if a door is hot before you open it. If it is hot, try to use another way out.
7.) If your clothes are on fire; Stop, Drop, and Roll until the fire is out. Shout for help, but don't run. Running makes fire burn faster.
8.) Have an escape plan and practice it with your family. Find two ways out of every room in case one way is blocked by fire or smoke. Practice escaping by both routes to be sure windows are not stuck and screens can be taken out quickly.
9.) Choose a meeting place outside, such as a big tree or the end of the driveway, so you will know that everyone has gotten out safely. NEVER go back into a burning building for any reason. If someone is missing, tell the firefighters. They have the clothing and equipment to safely rescue people.
10.) Know your local emergency number. Put stickers and magnets with emergency numbers on your refridgerator and every telephone in the house. If there is a fire at your house, choose one family member to leave your meeting place and call the fire department from a neighbors phone.
