Salutations from Puddin
 FAFLSE     November always brings to mind expressions of gratitude.  We are so blessed to be working with some of the finest men and women around the state.  Those who are in the fire service are simply the best.  They care about those around them.  They care about their communities and the safety of perfect strangers.  For the most part we have good jobs with good benefits and great people to work with every single day.  Add to that the fact that we can know we go to work each day and make a difference in someone's life.  Where else could we have such intrinsic value?
     I challenge each of you to actually tell someone you work with that you are grateful for the experience and that you are lucky to have them in your life. 
     Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Enjoy your family and tell someone you admire what a difference they have made to you.

1,600 Visitors Attend Open House & Wellness Program in Delray Beach
Delray 
 
       The City of Delray Beach Fire-Rescue hosted a Fire Station Open House Health and Wellness Event on September 20, 2008 at Station #5.  It is estimated that over 1,600 residents attended this three hour event.  Over this past year, Delray Fire-Rescue reached over 2700 people with potentially life saving free health screenings, life-safety, and injury prevention messages.
 
            Understanding that approximately 84% of The City of Delray Beach Fire-Rescue emergency responses are for medical calls, the department is taking a proactive approach to preventative health education in the community.  As part of our Health and Wellness initiative, events are held every quarter at one of the six fire stations on a rotating basis. This program allows for the City's Fire-Rescue Department to impact each community directly by providing free preventative health and wellness education and screenings for children, adults and visitors.
           
            For more information on this program, contact Lt. Trisha Dunkelmann @ 561-243-7456.
