Will Use Smoke Trailer - AREA FIREFIGHTERS TO DEMONSTRATE SAFE HOME
EVACUATION AT HCC
Three area fire departments will use a “smoke trailer” tomorrow
(Wednesday, Nov. 6) to demonstrate safe home evacuation practices to
students ranging from pre-school to high school age. Students from the
college’s Early Childhood Laboratory School will be among those
attending. The trailer can be filled with an artificial smoke-like substance
to give people the opportunity to practice evacuation under lifelike
conditions. The Westport Fire Department, Bridgeport Fire Department,
Stratford Fire Department and the Stratford Professional Firefighters
Association are providing equipment, personnel and financial support.
The program is being coordinated by HCC student Elizabeth Tibbals of
Stratford as part of her volunteer efforts with special needs students
at Bridgeport’s Harding High School. The demonstrations will begin
at 9:30 a.m. at the college, which is located at 900 Lafayette Blvd
in Bridgeport, less than 150 yards off I-95 ( right off Exit 27) and
Rte 8 (left off Exit 1). The event will be held rain or shine.
