    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (October 25, 2016) – The American Red Cross partnered with Sedona Verde Valley Firefighters Charities and Sedona Fire District on a Home Fire Preparedness Campaign.  Teaming up with Sunset Village 65 smoke alarms were installed and 25 batteries were replaced in 41 residences. With each visit volunteers asked to test or install smoke alarms. If pre-existing smoke alarms needs batteries, they were replaced; or if there are no smoke alarms, if they are inoperable, or too old, up to 3 smoke alarms were installed in residences that needed them.

    During the installation, one volunteer educates the resident on how to maintain the alarm and on home fire prevention. Each install took about 20 minutes. Each team of 3 can cover 50 homes in a 3 hour period. The American Red Cross provides all of the batteries and alarms. Sedona Verde Valley Firefighters Charities and Sedona Fire District volunteers assisted with the installation and education.

    “Do you know if your smoke alarm will work when you need it? Time and again, I’ve seen the life-saving impact smoke alarms can have in a home fire, but I’ve also seen the tragedy that can result when smoke alarms aren’t working properly,” says SFD Fire Marshal Gary Johnson. “That’s why we’re partnered with Sedona Verde Valley Firefighters Charities and Sedona Fire District on a Home Fire Preparedness Campaign.”

    According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) data: Despite the federal requirements for factory-installed smoke alarms and the fact that eight out of ten manufactured homes and seven out of ten manufactured home fires now involve post-HUD-Standard units (based on 2007-2011 data), 51 percent of fires in manufactured homes were reported as having no smoke alarms present. This suggests a problem with detection devices being removed by occupants.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
