On October 15, 2011 the Youth Fire Safety Training
Facility was Re-dedicated
The re-dedication of the Youth Fire Safety Training Facility was held on Saturday, October 15. The Youth Training Center has been totally renovated since May, 2010, when the plan was presented to CFA Class 13 by Committee Chairman Dave Adanich. Citizen Fire Academy students of Class 13 stepped up to provide the major parts to the renovation. Other GCFAAA Alumni members pitched in to complete the new look and additional safety aspects to the facility. A few additional safety items are on the punch out list and will be completed soon. A special addition to the "little house" was the generous donation of murals in the 3 rooms. Michelle Black of "A Color Affair" provided original artwork that helps the children understand what room they are in. The kitchen, living room and bedroom areas are clearly defined and add another level of safety discussion to the program.
A dedication plaque in memory of Tommy Vort who passed away in January, 2011, will be installed in the “kitchen area” adjacent to the front door of the
Public Safety Fall Festival at Coolray Field
On Saturday October 1, Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services, Gwinnett County Police and Safe Kids Gwinnett sponsored the 2nd annual Public Safety Fall Festival at Coolray Field. The family friendly event featured over 75 safety focused agencies such as Touch-A-Truck, charity car show, moon walks, rock climbing walls, scavenger hunt and the highlight of the day was the Fire versus Police “Battle of the Badges softball game. Many thanks to all the volunteers and GCFAAA Alumni members for there time spent helping out in many of the booths.
"Your Time Counts" and Ambassador Programs One of our 2011 commitments is to visit every Station and every Shift to share information about the Gwinnett Citizen Fire Academy Alumni Association, our 2010 accomplishments, our 2011 plans and accomplishments and gather ideas from the Fire Fighters. The information to be covered at your visit is provided to you. It doesn't get any easier than this! We have received and implemented several great ideas from the Fire Fighters. If you are interested in getting involved with the Ambassador Program, contact Judy! The "Your Time Counts" Program awarded every CFAAA Member that volunteered at least 8 hours in October including at least 2 hours at the Public Safety Event or the Rededication of the Youth Fire Safety Training Facility. Approximately 20 Members qualified for this award.
