🎃 with a message!

🎃Candles - Refrain from having an open flame. Use battery-operated candles or glow-sticks in your jack-o-lanterns.
🎃Costumes - Choose the right costume. Stay away from long or flowing fabric, and skip extraneous costume pieces.
🎃Decorations - Avoid flammable decorations including dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper that are highly flammable. Keep decorations away from open flames and other heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.
🎃Exits - Remember to keep all decorations away from doors so that they are not blocking any exits or escape routes.
Smoke alarms - Make sure all of your smoke alarms are working and up to date.
🎃Visibility - Provide flashlights to children or have them carry glow sticks as part of their costumes. Make sure if a child is wearing a mask that the eye holes are large enough to see out of them.

During October, the City of Fairfax Fire Department visited kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades at St. Leo the Great Catholic School, Daniel’s Run Elementary School, and Providence Elementary School to teach about fire safety.

Kindergartners and 1st graders get to watch a puppet show. Kindergarteners learn about Stop, Drop, and Roll, the difference between tools and toys, and to get low and go. 1st graders learn about calling 911 if they witness an emergency, and how fire can be good and bad.

2nd graders take a short field trip outside to our educational trailer and practice E.D.I.T.H., or Exit Drills In The Home. We reinforce what was taught in kindergarten and 1st grade and discuss having a meeting place outside.

3rd graders learn about hazards in the home and get to see some of the materials we have that caused previous fires in The City of Fairfax. City of Fairfax Government

During the City of Fairfax Fall Festival, the City of Fairfax Fire Department provided fire and life safety education to kids and adults on smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, and fire extinguishers. We discussed and answered a lot of great information and questions about fire safety.

At this event, we were able to debut our 911 edu+ simulator. This simulator allowed over 150 children to practice calling 911, speaking with a (simulated) dispatcher, and providing information about a fire or emergency scenario and their addresses. This event was a huge success and an excellent opportunity for all the participating children.

Special to the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department and the for staffing this event and working hard to make this debut a success.

First responders have enough to worry when they are on the front lines protecting all of us. But many are scared that they don’t have proper plans in place to protect themselves or their families if they should get sick.

The Legacy Elder Law Center can solve that problem. Effective immediately, and for a limited time, the Center is cutting the cost of its “Basics” and “Fundamentals” planning packages for these men and women who are keeping us safe.

They can get the planning they need done right and fast, working with our experienced, professional team in a safe, virtual environment without any face to face to meetings.

Please feel free to share this offer to your colleagues and friends to help them in these uncertain times.

Call us at 703-988-7975 or copy our email address [email protected] to get your planning done now.

Hi there. Does anybody have a point of contact (neighborhood team leads) for City of Fairfax CERT? I recently completed the basic training with Fairfax County (I work in the county and live in the city). Would like to connect with someone to see how I can contribute.
Hello!

My name is Brandan and I work with Life Line Screening. We provide preventative health screenings for seniors to see if they are at risk for heart attack and stroke. We have an event coming up in the community soon, and I was wondering if you could possibly share the event to your page to help spread the word, and let the community members know we will be coming in the community? Every Like, Tag, or Share could save a life. Thank you.
