Danny Cox is a Petaluma teenager that was paralyzed in a swimming accident in 2010. Last year, his neighbor and Menlo Park Firefighter, Matt Menard, aided in organizing a Golf tournament which raised over $37,000 that sent Danny to Panama for stem-cell treatments.

MPFFA SAFETY TIP
Plan your escape in the event of a fire
In 2007, there were an estimated 362,500 reported home structure fires and 2,565 associated civilian deaths in the United States.
Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you as little as two minutes to escape safely once the alarm sounds. Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke alarms, and advance planning - a home fire escape plan that everyone in your family is familiar with and has practiced.
- Draw a home escape plan and discuss it with everyone in your household.
- Practice the plan night and day with everyone in your home twice a year.
- If you have second story bedrooms, consider buying escape ladders for theexterior bedroom windows.
