Triage Simulator
| |
 Review Your Triage Skills
Each one of us needs skills refresher from time to time. Some of you may be interested in practicing or learning more on your own.
We've been able to provide a link to a Triage Skills Simulator. The simulator will walk you through an accident scene and utilizing the principles of "Start where you stand" you will be able to read the victim information and tag them.
Practice using the simulator and improve your skills today!

Pound of Pasta Challenge
| |
 Help feed Anaheim Motel Kids
Watch the video about Bruno's efforts: http://bit.ly/dNRv9N
Bruno Serato, owner and chef of the Anaheim White House, has been feeding Anaheim's poorest children healthy meals each day at the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim. As a result of the economy, it has been harder for Bruno to fund feeding the kids as he now feeds more families for free than meals he sells at his restaurant.
The Anaheim Fire Department has begun a campaign, led by firefighters from Station 3, to support Bruno in his efforts. Your challenge: bring a pound of pasta (box or bag) every meeting! Get your friends and neighbors to help you out and bring their pasta too!
So far our volunteers have contributed over 90 pounds of pasta (540 servings).
