PUBLIC EDUCATION
The fire department offers CPR and First Aid Classes each month at the fire station. The students pay $30/person for CPR and $40/person for CPR/First Aid. We attempt to schedule at least 6 persons per class to offset the costs for staff and materials. Last year 10 classes trained 62 persons in these life saving skills. FF/P Chris Wulfeck heads up this valuable program.

All Scheduled classes are Lay Rescuer Classes and are held in the Fire Department Training Room.
The fire department assisted the Army Reserve
478 Engineering Battalion with their family day. We wanted the
day to be educational but fun. Tug -O-War challenges for the
kids and adults were a huge success. The kids
performed the team relay race in firefighter gear and provided
much amusement. The final event for the kids
was to use a fire stream to knock a softball off of a cone. Everyone
enjoyed the day.
The Campbell County Safety House is a full size
mobile trailer used to give hands on training to students
and adults on home safety and escape. The students initially
tour the trailer and are given instructions on various
safety messages in an environment familiar to the students. The
instruction is hands on and very interactive.
While the spaces are small the rooms are realistic and furnished
as they would be in a home. Lessons include
safety in the kitchen around the stove, microwave cooking, kitchen
appliance safety, fireplace, safe candle
practices, the sound of alarm and means of escape. The highlight
of this tool is the ability to fill the area with
simulated smoke and have the occupants practice crawl low to
an exit and escape as we have discussed. This
provides the ultimate in learning experience. This equipment
owned by the Campbell County Firefighters
Educational Association trained approximately 500 persons in
Ft Thomas in 2009. The CCFEA provides all
maintenance and insurance for this mobile training aid. All departments
are asked to do is fuel the truck and
clean the house on return. This is an excellent cooperative project
among all fire departments and the Campbell
County Fiscal Court.
