Mike Brown, of FEMA, called for the original "stand down" on 21 Jun3, 2005
to consider each individual firefighter's safety and health issues...in a
first time National Stand Down
Day. Brown is quoted as saying: "Too many firefighters are being injured
or killed in the line of duty and when they return to the firehouse. So many
of these deaths could have been prevented by firefighters learning about
health and safety, training in health and safety and applying healthy and safe
practices whether on the fireground, at the fire station or when they go
home."
When: June 20-26, 2010
What: Our Volunteer Fire department
will participate in suspending all non-emergency activity. The
Departments will concentrate completely on
firefighter safety. The theme for the 2010 Stand Down is
"Emergency Vehicle Safety". Our Department will observe this day be
reviewing our EVDT skills/knowledge.
Where: Across the Nation and at Fort Blackmore VFD
Why: To show support for our paid and career brothers who put their lives on the line everyday. To foster a good attitude toward fire fighter safety; we will also bring our thoughts and prayers in-line with all the unacceptable LODDs and injuries.
Who: Fire Departments and Firefighters
