<\/a>MMA Boy Scouts<\/b> completed Part- 1 of the Fire Safety Merit Badge at the weekly meeting.\u00a0 Harlingen Fire Department Battalion Chief Mr. Darrell Loftus authorized officers Lt. Eric Mayberry, Lt. Bill Adair, and fire-fighters Robert Jones and Juan Gonzalez the opportunity to treat our boys scouts to an exciting introductory assembly, along with follow-on instruction and training the next few weeks. This beginning session included classroom work followed by hands-on familiarization with the workings of a fire truck and associated fire-fighting and rescue equipment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Photos show Boy Scouts practicing the techniques of stop, drop, roll, & cool in the event of clothing catching fire. They also learned about the most frequent causes of fire burn injuries, burn prevention, fire chemistry & physics, the importance of fire related vapors, and the products of combustion. The officers concluded the indoor segment with an important lesson covering proper home fire safety.<\/p>\n The boy scouts then assembled at the fire truck outside, where the officers expertly explained the many workings of a fire truck, to include hose connection and couplings, controls, jaws-of-life demonstration, oxygen equipment, individual fire-fighter protective gear, etc. This was a VERY interesting and instructional meeting to say the least! Our Scouts came-away with a new appreciation of fire safety and fire-fighting. We look forward to a fire station visit next week.<\/p>\n Check out all the Boy Scouts Fire Safety Photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n Troop 22 actively seeks donations or other assistance to maintain a quality program.
