Volunteer Public Educators (Pub Ed)
Sparky the Fire Dog and friends
Pub Ed members present public safety and fire prevention education and activities to schools and community groups. Pub Ed sponsors such programs as the AARP "55 & Alive" course to promote Senior Driver Safety; CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Team) designed to help out in our community before, during and after a disaster; and Blood Pressure Clinics. CPR Instructors provide CPR and First Aid classes to local citizens on a quarterly basis. Public Educators also manage the Life Jacket Lending Program in conjunction with the McKenzie River Guides Association.
The Pub Ed team along with Sparky the Fire Dog is constantly promoting citizen welfare, safety and health. New volunteer Pub Ed members are always welcome.
