When Disaster Strikes Your Community

February 1, 2012 By Melanie Leave a Comment

Clark County Fire District 6 CERT Training

Who Can Help?

You can! Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services may not be able to meet the demand for these services. Factors such as number of victims, communication failures, and road blockages will prevent people from accessing emergency services they have come to expect at a moment’s notice through 911. People will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate life saving and life sustaining needs.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training is about readiness, people helping … [Continue reading...]

Scouts are Out Picking Up Christmas Trees

December 31, 2011 By Melanie Leave a Comment

Salmon Creek Christmas Tree Recycling.

While Christmas 2011 is over, I still haven’t had the heart to take down our Christmas Tree. It’s a live tree (well, it used to be) and the needles are drying out a bit, so most likely it will come down on January 2, 2012. That gives me a whole 5 days before the Cub Scouts will be out looking for Christmas Trees to pick up.

This year Cub Scout Pack 494 will be out picking up Christmas Trees on Saturday, January 7, 2012. If … [Continue reading...]
