Here’s a peek at its content:
- Emergency management is essential in keeping our community safe and minimizing the damage caused by natural and man-made disasters. The primary element in emergency management is prevention: putting into place plans and procedures to help respond quickly and effectively to any emergency. Learn how RFD's new division, led by Assistant Director Satwana Hurdle, focuses on this work.
- Hear from Chief Herbert Griffin, who answers the question, "What impacts has the global supply chain struggle had on the fire industry?”

They power cell phones, iPads, computers, e-bikes, scooters, toys, and even cars. But if these batteries are not used correctly or if they are damaged, a fire or even an explosion can occur. Learn how you can stay safe.
