> We have been working on a very comprehensive smoke alarm program since
last
> February. The program is called "Saving Lives At The Sound".  We are
working
> on this in conjunction with the Grand Rapids Fire Department, Grand Rapids
> Public Schools, Kent County Health Department, Spectrum Health, Rescue 1,
> and other area organizations.
>
> The program involves the distribution of smoke alarms and installation if
> requested. Fire safety literature will also be handed out. We will be
doing
> our first distribution in the SECA neighborhood on Saturday, November 20
and
> are asking if the RACES group would be interested in providing
> communications. We will be knocking on 1,800 doors in the neighborhood in
> teams of 3 equipped with installation tools. The distribution will take
> approximately 3 hours. Krispy Kreme is providing dougnuts and Pizza Hut is
> providing lunch afterwards. We are beginning the training session at 8:30
in
> the morning at a local church and expect a hugh media turnout. We hoped to
> be finished by 1:00, with lunch to follow.
>
> Communicaton with each team would be critical for progress reports,
> logistics, additional needed supplies (like more smoke alarms and
> doughnuts), and security. We will have Red Cross vehicles there and
possible
> vehicles from the FD. The school system alone has 100 volunteers signed up
> to help.
>
> It will be an incredible community effort and very visible. We could use
20
> hams with a base set up at the neighborhood association office.
