The Glendale Fire and Police Departments will host it's third Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training beginning Tuesday March 2, 2010, at 6 P.M.  Classes will be held at the Glendale City Hall Auditorium, 424 N. Sappington Rd., Glendale, Missouri.

 The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

The CERT course consisits of 20 hours of training, two nights per week for two weeks, plus one Saturday morning practical exercise.  Classes are taught by Glendale Fire and Police Personnel who have received specialized training in the areas of disaster preparedness.

Classes will be held March 2, 4, 9, and 11 from 6-10 p.m.  The practical will be held March13 from 9 a.m. til 2 p.m.

 Each year, nearly 500 Americans die from carbon monoxide poisoning. (CO is produced by fuel-burning motor vehicles, appliances, and heating systems.) In addition, several thousand individuals are treated in emergency departments for CO poisoning. The risk of CO poisoning increases during the winter, as more people run furnaces and space heaters and use fireplaces. Deaths from CO poisoning also occur when people sit in an idling vehicle with the doors and windows closed. One CDC study found that motor-vehicle-related CO poisoning exposures increase during winter months and that death rates from CO poisoning in stationary motor vehicles are highest in states with colder average winter temperatures. During just two days in January 1996, 22 people in New York City died from CO poisoning because their exhaust pipes were packed with snow, and CO backed up into the vehicle.
