First Responder Day!
The Sun Chronical
Posted: Sunday, April 10, 2016 12:00 am
FIRST RESPONDER DAY (H 4161) - The House and Senate both approved a bill designating the day before Patriots Day as First Responder Day. Patriots Day falls annually on the third Monday of April. Further approval in each branch is needed before the bill goes to Gov. Charlie Baker. Supporters said this will honor these police officers, firefighters, EMTs and other first responders who save lives. They argued the day before Patriots' Day is an appropriate one because the Boston Marathon Bombing took place on Patriots' Day and first responders saved many lives on that day in 2013.

Panic Day
Date When Celebrated : Always March 9
Try to stay calm. Take a deep breath. For today is Panic Day. Can you handle today? Good, we were worried for a moment.
Hopefully, everything is going just swell in your life, and you have no need for this day. But, if problems and troubles are looming, try to hold off hitting the panic button until this day arrives.
Don't worry. Don't fret. and, above all, don't panic. However, if ever there was a day to panic, today is that day.
As you get through this unsettling day, you have another day to worry about.......International Panic Day.
Origin of "Panic Day": Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. Perhaps they were too rushed and paniced to record their creation.

It’s time to “spring ahead” and gain an hour of light
in the evening. The Greenwich Fire Department (GFD) reminds residents
that Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13. When setting clocks ahead one hour before going to bed on Saturday, March 12, remember to also change smoke alarm and carbon monoxide (CO) detector batteries.
It’s a habit that’s both simple and life-saving,” said Greenwich Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment & Retention Officer Brian M. Kelly. “Yet, so many people ignore their smoke and CO detectors. We urge everyone to not only change their batteries when they change their clocks but also set a reminder to test their alarms once every month.”
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms. And, in homes with working alarms that simply fail to operate, it is usually because of batteries were missing, disconnected, or dead. The GFD shares the following NFPA guidelines:
The Greenwich Fire Department is currently participating in Everyday Hero CT, a program dedicated to increasing the number of volunteer firefighters throughout the state. Eighty percent of all fire personnel in Connecticut are volunteers, and the majority of fire departments throughout the state are experiencing a volunteer shortage. Local fire departments need volunteers of all skill levels and abilities, people willing and able to respond to emergencies whenever called upon.
“The skills and experience gained as a volunteer firefighter are invaluable and have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of others,” says Chief Fred Dudek, Everyday Hero CT program manager. “Those who join their local fire departments sign up for one of the most rewarding opportunities they’ll ever have.”
About the Greenwich Fire Department
The mission of the Greenwich Fire Department (GFD) centers on the preservation of life and property in the Town of Greenwich against the ravages of fire. The GFD is a combination fire department consisting of 106 uniformed career and approximately 102 volunteer firefighters who work together to accomplish this mission. Responding to over 4,200 emergency calls annually, the men and women of the GFD are trained and equipped to handle a wide range of threats. This all-hazard approach prepares firefighters for many types of calls ranging from minor fire alarms to structure fires, motor vehicle accidents, and hazardous materials incidents. Fire apparatus consists of 14 Engines, three Ladders, Fire Patrol, and a Heavy Rescue. The Fire Department operates this equipment out of eight fire houses within Greenwich (and Banksville, New York). Anyone interested in learning more about the GFD should call 203-618-8877 or visit the Town of Greenwich website.

- Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button.
- Make sure everyone in the home understands the sound of the smoke alarm and knows how to respond.
- Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
- Replace the smoke alarm immediately if it doesn’t respond properly when tested.
- Smoke alarms with nonreplaceable (long-life) batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, a warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away.
- For smoke alarms with any other type of battery, replace batteries at least once a year. If the alarm chirps, replace only the battery.
