    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (June 11, 2014) – The Sedona Fire District is better prepared to fulfill its mission of service to the community, following a two week training offered by the U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire Academy. Sedona Fire District Fire Inspector Kevin Sullivan was selected to attend two back-to-back courses offered at the NFA campus in Emmitsburg, MD.

    20140611_firedeptThe first course, Managing Effective Fire Prevention Programs, provides students with the tools and skills necessary to establish priorities and strategies for fire prevention programs and services. Inspector Sullivan received intensive training on how to build Sedona Fire District’s Community Risk Management Division and strengthen its risk-reduction efforts.

    During the second course, Demonstrating Your Fire Prevention Program’s Worth, Inspector Sullivan and other fire prevention colleagues from around the nation, developed the tools and skills to effectively evaluate fire prevention programs and services. The course provides methods to improve and account for evaluation actions to ensure that the organization’s mission is met.

    “We are proud to support Fire Inspector Sullivan in his efforts to better protect our community,” said Fire Marshal Gary Johnson. “The National Fire Academy provides unparalleled continuing education and we look forward to implementing this training into our Community Risk Management Division’s activities.” 

    The National Fire Academy was created as a result of the landmark document America Burning and the subsequent passage of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974. It is estimated that, since 1975, over 1,400,000 students have received training through a variety of course delivery methods. The American public has greatly benefited from the training and education programs provided by USFA and NFA. Countless lives have been saved and property losses prevented as a direct result of this training and education. For more information, visit http://www.usfa.fema.gov/nfa/.

    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.
