SUPPORT THE GLENDALE FIRE FOUNDATION

Adopt-A-Fire-Station

The Adopt-A-Fire-Station Program was created to improve the working and living conditions for firefighters for all 9 GFD fire stations.  These stations are not only a workplace but also members’ second home. Everyday household items like washers, dryers, ice machines, coffee makers, kitchen faucets, refrigerators, etc. are used around the clock.  When one of these items breaks due to the heavy usage, a replacement is not covered by the city’s budget.  Donate to your local fire station or get involved today.

Save Lives and Make a Difference

AED Defibrillators

An AED or Automated External Defibrillator is a portable device capable of checking a heart rhythm, and if necessary, delivering an electric shock to the heart to restore it back to a normal rhythm. An AED’s main function is to treat and reverse Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). SCA or Sudden cardiac Arrest is a life threatening condition where the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When SCA occurs, vital organs and the brain stop receiving blood flow which can quickly lead to ischemia or death of tissue due to lack of oxygen. If not treated within minutes SCA can cause death as each minute that a person is in cardiac arrest; there is a 10% reduction in survival rate.

 

An AED can quickly recognize a rhythm in cardiac arrest and shock a person back into a normal heart rhythm, ultimately increasing their chance of survival. Studies show that cardiac arrest survival rates are drastically lower when an AED is not used, with as much as 95% of people with SCA dying from it, most within minutes. Rapid treatment of SCA with an AED can be the difference in saving a life. Most AED’s will be found in large occupancy areas where there are a large number of people such as: Shopping malls, businesses, airports, fitness centers, casinos, sports venues, hotels, convention centers, and schools.

 

Because AED’s are easy to use portable devices, they allow for nonmedical personnel to take them to the person in need and quickly establish the need to deliver a shock and restore blood flow to the heart. AED’s are easy to use as they use voice prompts, lights, and text messages to tell the rescuer what steps to take. In conjunction with a rapid use of 9-1-1 activation, along with prompt delivery of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), an AED can be another vital tool used to improve survival from cardiac arrest.

Preparing Our Community for Emergencies

Disaster Preparation

A vital part of the emergency preparedness program is the help of the public by becoming involved in Glendale’s CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) program. This program allows members of the community the opportunity to have emergency personnel train them basic response skills during a disaster, through participation in annual exercises, activities, and classroom training. CERT strives to teach community members how to prepare themselves and their families for emergencies. Donations to the Emergency Preparedness program will greatly benefit the emergency preparedness program by providing funding for the CERT program for equipment and resources so community members can continuously train for disaster scenarios and be better prepared to protect their loved ones and communities until first responders arrive in an emergency situation.

Protecting Our Community through Education

Fire Safety Programs

Fire Safety Programs are programs developed to increase public outreach through activities and presentations to help keep communities safe from fire and other hazards. These programs consist of identifying fire safety risks relevant to the communities, and through Public Service Announcements (PSA) or updates, providing safety tips and recommendations to promote public health and safety. With consideration of all age groups, Fire Safety Programs are designed to allow for education in a variety of formats whether it be for children, adults, seniors, as well as community members with special needs. These programs are an important part of public information in that they allow the Fire Department to reach out and keep the public informed on fire safety, creating an open dialogue between the Fire Department and the public.

 

Because these programs are intended to provide the public safety tips to protect themselves and their loved ones, donations to help support these programs will allow the Fire Foundation to support the Glendale Fire department in putting the “Community First.”
