Well it!s that time of year thatwe remind everyone to be firesafe. Changing the batteriesin our smoke detectors, watch-ing for trip hazards in thehome, checking our heatingappliances for debris-dust-per-formance, making sure every-one knows how to get outduring an emergency andknowing CPR – being readyfor that emergency. Our de-partment strives to remind ourcommunity of the importanceto be ready for an emergency.We have started home inspec-tions; where we will go overyour home and point out thosethings that need attention.

At our Safety Carnival wewill have a puppet show for the

children showing them thatmatches are tools and nottoys; what to do if they hearthe smoke detector at home;and that firefighters will alwaysbe there when they need them- day or night.

Young or old, we all need toknow the basics of first aid,Cardio Pulmonary Resuscita-tion (hands free or not), whatto do when a fire starts, who tocall when there!s an emer-gency at home and when to letan adult know when some-thing is wrong.

Sparky says: “Don!t Play with Fire!”

I-40 & Horizon Blvd., Milan, NM

My father was a fireman.

He drove a big red truck

and when he’d go to work each day

he’d say “Mother, wish me luck.”

Then Dad would not come home again

‘til some time the next day.

But the thing that bothered me the most

was the things some folks would say,

“A fireman’s life is easy,

he eats and sleeps and plays,

and sometime’s he won’t fight a fire

for days and days and day’s”.

When I first heard these words

I was too young to understand

but I knew when people had trouble

Dad was there to lend a hand.

Then my father went to work one day

and he kissed us all goodbye

but little did we realize

that night we all would cry.

My father lost his life that night

when the floor gave way below

and I’d wondered why he’d risked his life

for someone he didn’t know.

But now I truly realize

the greatest gift a man can give

is to lay his life upon the line

so that someone else might live.

So as we go from day to day

and we pray to God above

say a prayer for your local Firemen.

He may save the ones you love.
