Fire Prevention Week focuses on creating home escape routes With Fire Prevention Week 2012 scheduled for Oct. 7-13, State Fire Marshal Randy Cole urges Missourians to remember the importance of having at least two escape routes for your family to safely exit your home in case of an emergency. “It is important that families plan and prepare for the unpredictably and dangers associated with fires,” State Fire Marshal Cole said. “Fires can spread rapidly, blocking planned escape routes. This makes it essential to have at least two quick escapes routes planned in advance from different rooms throughout your home. Having an alternate route in case another route becomes blocked can save lives.” Fire Prevention Week is recognized annually by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and fire departments and safety agencies across the country. This year’s campaign, “Have 2 Ways Out,” encourages everyone to plan multiple fire escape routes for their families. According to NFPA, in 2010 there were an estimated 369,500 reported home structure fires across the U.S., resulting in 2,640 civilian deaths. An NFPA survey also revealed that only 23 percent of American households have actually developed and practiced a fire evacuation plan. Fire Marshal Cole suggests developing a home escape plan as soon as a family moves into a new residence; regularly practicing the plan and explaining it to children; and revising the plan as the children grow up. Cole adds that having a working smoke detector is essential to en-
suring your family is alerted in case of a fire. “Working smoke detectors increase your chance of survival by 50 percent, and are something every household should have.” For more than 85 years, fire departments have observed Fire
Prevention Week, making it the longest running public health and safety observance on record. For more information on “Have 2 Ways Out,” visit www.firepreventionweek.org.

Perry Christian Academy staff, students gather “At the Pole” Perry Christian Academy staff and students joined millions of others on Wednesday, Sept. 26 to acknowledge the See You at the Pole rally. The event was held to lift up friends, families, teachers, schools, and the nation to God. This event began in 1990 in Burleson, Texas, after a small group of teenagers attended a discipleship weekend class and when it was over they felt compelled to pray for several local schools. These teens gathered around the flag poles at each school and prayed. Word soon spread and other youth began the annual practice. This year, the theme was “Awaken” and the Scripture was based on Ephesians 3:14-21. Nathan Welch, PCA eighth grade student, read the scripture verses, the students sang “I Will Call Upon the Lord”, and many students prayed. PCA is blessed to be able
to teach our students the Christian heritage of our country and have
Bible classes, chapel services and teacher led prayer.
