NORTH PALM BEACH CHILD SAFETY
T he North Palm Beach Police Department would like to invite
parents of children ages birth to six years old to attend a child
safety program. The event will be held at 560 US Highway 1 on
April 3, 2012 at 10:00 am at the Police Department.
This program will address home safety, babysitting, caregiver fatigue,
and resources available to parents. Children are welcome to attend
with their parents to be fingerprinted and photographed as well as
enjoy refreshments. Contact Sgt. Dallesandro at 841-3300 or
adallesandro@village-npb.org to reserve your seat.
F ire experts recommend at least one Fire
Extinguisher for every level of your house.
They come in various sizes; you’ll need
to choose the size that’s right for you based
on your family situation and who you think
is most likely to be using it. The five pound
model is probably the most popular. Extin-
guishers also come with designations of A,
B, C, or all three. The letter refers to what
type of fire they’re best at putting out. “A” re-
fers to ordinary materials such as paper or
wood. “B” refers to highly combustible materi-
als such as cooking oil. “C” refers to electrical
fires. If the extinguisher has all three letters, it’s
good for putting out any kind of fire. The letters
A and B will also have a number along with
them, and the higher the number, the better the
extinguisher is at putting out that type of fire.
Extinguishers are actually easy to use, but until
you’ve seen it done it may remain a foreign
concept to you. When you purchase a new
extinguisher, it should come with a manual
explaining its operation. Be sure and read that
thoroughly. But just in case, here are the
basics of using a fire extinguisher. At the top,
near the valve, is a safety pin with a round piece
attached to it. Grab hold of the round part of the
pin, and pull the pin out. Then point the nozzle
where the flames are coming from, not at the
flames themselves. You want to shut the fire
down at its source. Make sure you’re at least six
feet away from the flames. Then squeeze the
trigger, which releases the actual chemicals, and
move the extinguisher back and forth in a
sweeping motion to get good coverage, while
keeping it upright. That’s all there is to it.
