Thank you to our local partner, Henrico County Fire Station 5, for visiting with our friends in the Child Development Center. These heroes educated our friends on fire safety awareness, and shared how firefighters help the community. October is National Fire Safety Month.

This story is a powerful example of fire prevention messaging in action. The young girl’s quick thinking and response likely stemmed from awareness and understanding of what to do in an emergency. Stories like this highlight the critical importance of fire safety education—knowing the signs of danger, having a plan, and acting fast can save lives. We can use this moment to emphasize the value of teaching children and families about smoke alarms, escape routes, and emergency preparedness. This recognition isn’t just about honoring bravery; it’s a reminder that knowledge and readiness are key tools in preventing tragedies. #teachthemyoung #fireprevention

No one ever wants to be in this situation but knowing what to do IF you are and having a blueprint of action makes the idea a little less scary. The scenario based training our team provides is priceless and always focused on increased survivability & lethality wherever you are.
Earlier this month Raven Advisory had the pleasure of working with the staff of Richmond County Hospice at their office location in Rockingham, NC to equip them with how to handle a potential active shooter/intruder. This was a full-scale disaster drill involving Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, Richmond County Emergency Services, 911 Operators, Richmond County Health Department, Richmond County Rescue Squad, and Cordova Fire Rescue. The team at Raven Advisory LLC. provided the instruction and coordination of the education piece and scenario-based training. We equipped the staff with knowledge and a plan so that if something were to happen at their office they know what to do and have practiced drills for various situations. We hope that they never have to go through any of the scenarios we trained for in real life, but if they do they are more equipped to survive than they were before the in depth training. Active shooter trainings are just one of the capabilities Raven Advisory can bring to you at your location. Our goal is to help you learn the skills to survive. #skillstosurvive #activeshootertraining #scenariobasedtraining #skillstosurvive

Over the next year, Aurora911 will evolve and enhance NG911 capabilities, to richly support Aurora Fire Rescue, Aurora Colorado Police Department, and alternative response resources within our diverse and rapidly growing city. The role of 9-1-1 is quickly transforming into real time response, as we receive more real-time data, and fewer voice calls. It is truly in the best interest of all communities to support the empowerment of 9-1-1 within the emergency services ecosystem to quickly and efficiently intervene and prescribe the best field response(s) for every unique event. Cookie cutter solutions are obsolete, and so is the assumption that a 9-1-1 professional's role is limited to simply passing along information to the field. We are the nerve center of public safety! #NG911 #Aurora911
Working to bring together 911 stakeholders to support and advance our nations 911 personnel and systems. Focused on 911's role in Highway Safety.
The NG911 Guide for the Fire Service is one of the five Next Generation Guides for the public safety community. https://lnkd.in/eKG_bKg4

Reaching out to H&S professionals in my network in further education/colleges.... How do you conduct a register during an emergency evacuation in an efficient way? We are looking for a new and effective way to conduct this with a large amount of students and staff. #fire #emergency #bestpractice #college #furthereducation #healthandsafety

🚒⚡ Teamwork in Action! On Friday, November 22, Sunflower’s linemen and field personnel teamed up with Garden City Fire Department volunteers to train on emergency procedures following injury or illness. Our staff are trained to act quickly, calmly, and most importantly, to not become a second victim. This exercise simulates a lineman who made contact with a high-voltage power line or has had a medical issue and has been rendered unconscious. Firefighters showcased lifesaving first aid techniques and rescue protocols to ensure swift, effective responses. Why does this matter? 👉 Collaboration and regular training ensure everyone is ready to handle emergencies safely and effectively, protecting our crews and communities.
