Greene leaving fire district Farm classes for a chiefs job in Nevada (Continued from page I.) Resident Program, in which the department pays for the fire train- ing of college students who in turn provide shift coverage at a fraction of the cost of a full-time firefighter. The program currently has 12 stu- dents staffing the Collins Lake and Belfair fire stations. The department also developed a community 'outreach program that has since won three state awards and a national award for management excellence. That pro- gram, previously funded entirely through the firefighters' fund-rais- ing efforts, provided the communi- ty with free smoke detectors, home safety inspections, a Chaplain Re- sponse Program, phone auto-dial- ers for senior citizens, bike helmet giveaways and kid-oriented safety programs. Through a grant, the kid-safety programs, held first at the high school and later at the local Sum- merfest celebrations, went directly to the elementary schools this last year, training the youngsters in such things as escaping a smoke- filled room. "This year," beams Greene, "we were able to reach nearly every kid in the community with our messag- es about bike helmets, water safety, fire hazards and everything else." run at library (Continued from page 1.)
