Happy Saint Patricks everyone
Please be safe🍀💚
Here’s a little history behind this day and its relevance to the fire profession.
This holiday celebrated internationally, it began as a religious celebration in the seventeenth century to commemorate the life of Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Known as the "Feast Day", it always took place on the anniversary of his death on March 17th 461 AD. ��In the US, there are strong ties between the Irish and the fire service community. Back in the infancy of this great country, there was an incredible influx of Irish immigrants, and jobs were nearly non existent. Store owners would have signs on their window that read "NINA" meaning 'No Irish Need Apply". The only jobs available to Irish and many other immigrants were the most dangerous jobs like Police and Firefighters. It wasn't uncommon to have several firefighter's die at a fire in those days and carrying on with the tradition of the Irish, the bagpipes were played at the funeral services, hence why the bagpipes or the Pipes and Drums, are known as the music or heart beat representing the fire service.

Are you prepared for the next storm season?
Will you know how to act in the event of a disaster and/or emergency?
When the next storm, disaster, or emergency event occurs, will you know what to do to survive?
Come join us and Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service - TEEX and Emergency Services Training Institute for this training right here in Naples.
The "When Disaster Strikes: Prepare, Act, Survive" course is designed to teach and encourage civilians impacted by a disaster to prepare, take preservation actions and perform, as appropriate, light search and rescue response to aid their family and other community members in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster or a human-made incident. In disaster situations civilians may find themselves taking care of themselves, their family, and neighbors for an extended period after an incident occurs before professional emergency responders arrive. This course provides them with the knowledge to "Prepare, Act, Survive".
