Cold Spring Fire Department Donates Equipment

 

In this story you will hear about a volunteer project that the Cold Spring Fire Department recently took part in. Due to United States regulations on the safety of old fire equipment, Cold Spring and many other fire departments must dispose of perfectly good equipment. A Minnesota volunteer chapter stopped in just last week to pick up some of the old equipment and eventually ship it off to a fire department in Chili that is in desperate need of it. 

A 7 Minute Fire Prevention Update That Could Save Your Life

This is Fire Prevention Week across the country and in the "Land of ROCORI" the fire departments will be visiting Elementary Schools and promoting FIRE SAFETY in the home.

Wednesday night, October 7th, the Cold Spring Fire Department will be driving around town @ 6 PM as a reminder to families to practice their home fire drill and family escape plan. Then there will be an open house down at the Fire Department located in City Hall in Cold Spring.

Alcohol + Prom = "Death On The Road" for TEENS

Did you know that more teenagers die on prom night than on any other day of the year?  With ROCORI holding their prom on April 18, 2009, we all should take a moment out of our day to watch this powerful presentation.

In this story DigElog ROCORI takes a trip back in time almost two years ago as we captured a presentation given by the Cold Spring Police Department and Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD). Even though the story is two years old, its relevance cannot be denied.

Here's a first hand look at how car, truck and SUV roll overs relate to life or death based on the simple principle of buckling your seat belt. This is a must watch for anyone who drives or rides in a vehicle.  No one ever plans to have an accident and this video will convince you as to the value of buckling your seat belt before you head out of the driveway.

The Cold Spring Fire Department held its annual Open House and Fire Prevention Education Day on Tuesday, October 11, 2005. 

Much of the day local firefighters spent educating elementary students on fire safety and a tour of the fire trucks. Students were also encouraged to color a drawing of a fire truck and bring it to the fire hall that evening for prizes and a special drawing.

In the evening, the entire department boarded all of their trucks and vehicles for a tour of the town looking for kids who practiced fire safety at home that night.

Fire prevention is about the three "P's". Plan, Prevent and Practice.
