Relay
For Life |
May 14-15, 2011 |

A First for Lake Stevens!
It was the first ever Relay for Life Lake Stevens at
the Lake Stevens High School track and over 1,200 people
participated!
Thank You for Participating
Thank you to Paramedic Shane Nelson for coordinating our

an on-duty crew on site, calls permitting, as well as various
off duty participants. A huge thank you to Veronica Mulligan
who set up a tent and stayed the entire night with her family!
Pictured above are Paramedics Eric Jones and Keith Terry. |
It’s an Overnight Event
At Relay for Life, teams of people camped out at our High
School track and took turns walking or running around the
track. Each team was asked to have a representative on the
track at all times during the event. The thought behind this is
that because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up
to 24 hours in length.
Working Together
Lake Stevens Fire received a Certificate of Appreciation for
working together with Relay for Life Lake Stevens. Pictured
above is Deputy Chief Larry Huff, Paramedic Keith Terry,

Talking
Fire Safety with Lions |
April 5, 2011 |
|
Fire Safety Presentation
How many times a year should we test our smoke detectors? Why
are fires far more dangerous today than they were 50 years ago?
Do you know two different ways out of each room in your house?
Those are just a few of the questions Lake Stevens Fire Public
Educator Alison Caton answered with her Fire Safety Presentation
at the local Lion’s Club meeting. |
Relevant Information for Everyone!
Many people know the basics of fire safety, however we still
need to educate our community on why we follow these
precautions. Understanding the mechanisms of fire and our fire
safety tools makes the message that much more practical for our
friends and neighbors. |

CERT Training |
Spring
2009 |
|
CERT Training
in the Classroom
Before Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members can
practice hands-on skills, they must first learn the basics from
classroom instruction. CERT members learn how to put out small
fires, perform basic medical operations, light search and rescue
and learn about disaster psychology.
Lifting Heavy Objects
Cribbing was used to lift heavy cement slabs so patients (in
this case, dummies) could be removed from underneath.
Medical Operations
A realistic touch was added with volunteer "victims" who
acted out different injuries. All of the CERT participants
passed the class and are ready to help their neighbors in the
event of a catastrophic event! |
Fire Safety
CERT Members learn how to operate a fire extinguisher and
practice putting out small fires.
Final Practical
CERT Members get to put their knowledge to the test during
the CERT final practical in which they practiced light search
and rescue at Station 83's Training Tower, put out small fires,
lifted heavy cement slabs using their cribbing skills and
practiced triaging patients. Lake Stevens Fire, Marysville Fire
District, Arlington Fire Department and North County Fire/EMS
joined efforts during the final, bringing CERT Members from all
over Snohomish County together.
Rescued from the Tower
CERT Members carry a patient out of the tower on a
backboard. The patient was taken to the triaging station and
tagged according to the severity of their injuries.

Practicing Water Safety
Kids were able to "fish" for prizes

proper water safety precautions. Kids should always wear
a personal floatation device while on the water and should
always have an adult present when swimming.

Kids took a shot at spinning the
safety wheel in hopes of winning a prize. Kids were asked
questions about bike and pedestrian safety, water safety, car
safety and fire safety. |
What a Catch!
Practicing water safety leads to great
rewards; the reward of staying safe and in this case, the reward
of winning prizes.
Helping Each Other Out
These two brothers collaborated their
answers with a little teamwork to make sure they gave the best
