HFPD Teaches Practical Use of Science to Conner
Lt. Tony Crouch taught a day in Mr. Hall's Science class at
Conner Middle School to show students how we at the fire
department apply what they are learning in the classroom to real
life. Discussed in the class were subjects like the
properties and state of water and Newton's Third Law. Math
formulas we use to figure nozzle reaction, rated GPM for nozzle
size, and friction loss were also shown to the students.
The end of the class was spent with some hands-on evolutions
letting the kids hold the hose line and spray some water to
apply the third law of motion that "for every action, there is
an equal and opposite reaction." The class was developed
by Lt. Ellis to help the department get more involved with the
schools. This is the second year that we have taught the
classes. Lt. Crouch is teaching a total of 10 different
classes this year.

Honors Local Business, Employees for Saving Life
On Tuesday October 30, 2007 employees at ZF Boge Elastmetall
located on Aviation Blvd. were honored with a "Partners In Life"
award for saving a co-workers life. One of the workers at
this business recently suffered a heart attack at work and went
into full arrest. Workers at the business immediately began
CPR and placed an AED on the patient saving his life. The
outcome would have been a lot different if these coworkers had not
began these life saving procedures immediately. This
incident highlights the effect that quick initiation of CPR and
AED can have on a sudden cardiac arrest patient, of which 95
percent die before reaching the hospital. Congratulations to
the employees at ZF Boge Elastmetall for this life saving action.

Truck Drivers Recognized at Board Meeting
At the October Hebron Fire District Board Meeting two local delivery
drivers were recognized for their help in extinguishing grass fires
in the district. Michael Ginn, a UPS driver, noticed a grass
fire on West Horizon next to a house and quickly extinguished it.
David Bailey, a Schwan's Foods driver noticed a grass fire burning
the entire back yard and close to a house on Hilliard Drive, and

able to extinguish the fires before the fire departments arrival
saving damage to either of the houses. Thanks to these two
drivers for their assistance.
