TRAINING TO BE HELD AT THE ABBOTTSTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT

 

The Courage to Be Safe...So Everyone Goes Home
http://www.everyonegoeshome.org/

 
Developed in conjunction with the Life Safety Initiatives project by Chiefs Billy Goldfeder, (Loveland-Simms) John Salka, (FDNY) and Rich Anderson (Anderson Manning Media Group), the LODD prevention-reduction program entitled “The Courage to Be Safe… So Everyone Goes Home” outlines the history of the Life Safety Initiatives and examines Line of Duty Deaths both in Pennsylvania and nationally. A key part of the program is untold story of LODD survivors, revealing the pain and heartbreak the loss of a firefighter brings and illustrating that the consequences of an LODD are a family affair in every sense of the word.

Recognizing the need to do more to prevent line-of-duty deaths and injuries, the Foundation has launched a national initiative to bring prevention to the forefront.

The first major action was to sponsor a national gathering of fire and emergency services leaders. Organized by the Foundation, the Firefighter Life Safety Summit held in Tampa, Florida, in March 2004 produced 16 major initiatives that will give the fire service a blueprint for making changes.

The Foundation will play a major role in helping the U.S. Fire Administration meet its stated goal to reduce firefighter fatalities by 25% within 5 years, and by 50% within 10 years. The Foundation sees fire service adoption of the Summit's initiatives as a vital step in meeting this goal.

Duty and responsibility --
Make EVERY DAY a TRAINING DAY…. so that…
 EVERYONE GOES HOME!
