Colorado AF Reservists, C-130s join hurricane disaster relief efforts 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Two C-130 Hercules aircraft and 18 Reserve Citizen Airmen assigned to the 302nd Airlift Wing are providing airlift in support of disaster relief and humanitarian assistance operations in the eastern Caribbean areas. Since their departure from Peterson Air Force Base, Sept. 23, the Reservists have flown airlift missions transporting cargo and supplies in support of the movement of Joint Task Force Leeward Islands’ (JTF-LI) base of operations from Puerto Rico to three Caribbean locations in the wake of Hurricane Maria. JTF-LI is the U.S. military task force supporting U.S. foreign disaster relief to St. Martin and Dominica. The relocation was necessary due to the impact of Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico and the need to have supporting U.S. forces closer to St. Martin and Dominica. JTF-LI had been primarily operating out of Muñiz Air National Guard Base in San Juan. The move includes about 300 military personnel, eight helicopters, and four C-130 Hercules aircraft. Joint Task Force — Leeward Islands is a United States military organization composed of Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen. As U.S. Southern Command’s primary response capability, JTF-LI provides unique disaster relief capabilities, including command and control, humanitarian assessment, water production, engineering, and aviation heavy lift. “Our Reservists have made a quick turn to make the shift from aerial firefighting missions in California to disaster relief support,” said Col. James DeVere, commander of the 302nd Airlift Wing. The call to support hurricane relief efforts came one week after the 302nd AW ended its support of Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System missions in California. MAFFS-equipped C-130s from the Peterson-based reserve wing spent seven weeks supporting the U.S. Forest Service fire suppression efforts on more than 20 wildland fires in California.

18TH SPACE CONTROL SQUADRON
Honoring Staff Sgt. Bieren’s memory
Keeping watch up above
By Steve Kotecki 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On a cold, rainy morning Airmen from the 21st Security Forces Squadron and the 4th Space Control Squadron, known as the “Warhawks,” gathered to honor the passing of Staff Sgt. Austin Bieren on the 6th month anniversary of his death by doing what Bieren loved, working out. At the Capt. David Lyon Memorial Park, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 28, 2017, about 50 Airmen performed a workout of the day inspired by Bieren. The work out consisted of squats while holding See Memory page 6

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — While the everyday activities of life continue down below, what is taking place overhead doesn’t usually warrant a thought. The 18th Space Control Squadron located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, is a geographically separated unit of the 21st Space Wing, Peterson AFB, Colorado. The squadron provides situational awareness on thousands of items filling the skies while life moves along for those on Earth’s surface. “We have crews of eight people,” said 1st

Narrow the scope, improve the force ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. — Our collective failure to lead boldly and teach others to do the same has led us towards the end of our runway.
Lt. Col. Nelson Rouleau 12th Airborne Command and Control Squadron
Airmen are watching
Young military leaders vicariously learn the easiest path to promotion is through conservative decisions, and a single mistake may cost a career. In light of these realities, too many noncommissioned officers and company-grade officers are frightened to fail. For far too long NCOs and CGOs witnessed those who’ve swerved slightly off their path, risk careerending consequences. The flight path to success is clear: no mistakes. The easiest way to avoid a misstep is to bypass high-risk decisions and to avoid unpredictable outcomes. Unsurprisingly, much like a football game, in a fourth down and one-yard to gain situation, the proverbial Air Force playbook has only one strategy, punt the football. Sadly, we routinely punt on fourth-andone regardless of field position. We punt from our own 20-yard line or our opponent’s 10-yard line. Can you imagine the embar-
rassment and the force-shaping board that awaits the Airman who misses a 27-yard field goal? I can. The Air Force’s playbook lacks risk. As a result, the playbook has been stripped of any real value. It’s electronically tossed through the bureaucratic chain of command until it lay absent of ideas that dare to challenge the status quo. The book is written not to lose. Williamson Murray correctly pointed out that, “The problem lies in the fact that these so-called strategic documents are the products of bureaucratic processes that aim to remove every contentious issue.” Going even further in his analysis of these type of documents, Murray posited that they’re “written by large groups of the
unimaginative; they are passed up the chain of command to insure that there is nothing daring or controversial that might upset the conventional wisdom with its comfortable assumptions about the future.”
Time to rewrite strategies
Our strategy is designed not to win, but to avoid failure. There is a difference. The entire playbook should be discarded and started anew. It’s time to rewrite bold new strategies that are driven not by fear of failure, but by a tenacious will-to-win. On fourth-and-one, encourage every Airman, fast or slow, tall or short, great hands or stone hands, to go deep and look for the ball in the end zone. Demand your quarterback throw the ball deep. The focus of this commentary is to ask every squadron commander to author and approve new and audacious fourth-and-one options. It examines how adding the long ball to the fourth and short playbook inspires trust and confidence in Airmen, and it asserts that the bold play on fourth down values failure as a learning opportunity. Having the audacity to plan and execute
Action Line The 21st Space Wing maintains a commander's action line, a direct link to the 21st Space Wing commander. The wing commander encourages its use. Concerns should be addressed at the lowest possible level in the chain of command and elevated as necessary.
a 50-yard throw on fourth and one instills confidence and demonstrates the value of calculated risk. Most importantly, Airmen will recognize genuine trust and will understand the end state is to win. When trust and intent are unmistakably established, Airmen will Fly, Fight, and Win. To be sure, the intrepid play may not execute exactly as planned. Don’t worry. With trust and intent, instead of running a post route, Airmen may read the defense at the line of scrimmage and have the conviction to take a risk and run a fly pattern. Leadership expert, Simon Sinek recognized that trust is, “Critical for humans because when trusts exists, we dare to take risks, experiment and explore because we know that somebody is watching our back”. In essence, Sinek was describing our organic wingman culture.
Trust is paramount
As squadron commanders, our highest obligation is to be that wingman. Trust and confidence is paramount to winning, as is the willingness to fail and learn. See Improve page 4

ACTION CHAPLAIN:
Boulware’s pulpit puts him with people he serves By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — He climbs the tallest towers to clean solar panels. He cooks and serves Airmen at the dining facility. He fuels jets on the flight line. And in the middle of it all he ministers to the spiritual needs of his fellow Airmen. He is Action Chaplain! To best fulfill his mission, Chaplain (Capt.) John Boulware, 21st Space Wing chaplain, spends his days alongside the folks he is compelled to serve. Building relationships and trust is what will make the biggest difference, he says. “Chaplains are a visible sign of the Holy,” Boulware said. “We are to be a spiritual presence.” In fact, he calls his role as chaplain a “ministry of presence.” When Boulware is regularly alongside Airmen who are on the job, relationships are built and strengthened. They learn to value him and, eventually, trust him. “When trust is gained (Airmen) will tell me about their lives and seek spiritual guidance,” said Boulware. “When we build trust we can tell them how to alleviate stress and how they can become the leaders they are supposed to be. By being a ministry of presence it allows (Airmen) to ask questions about their own spirituality.” The Chaplains Corps has a tactical mission plan like other groups. The plan involves being attached to units and creating ministry within them, devising fellowship opportunities said Boulware. The chaplaincy advises leadership, offers confidential counseling and provides accommodation for spiritual growth, whatever an individual’s background. Developing that all important trust is a two way street. See Chaplain page 8

Improve From page 2 Throwing long on a fourth down recognizes failure as a teachable moment and establishes a command culture that values learning. Airmen will not fly every mission perfectly; Airmen will not catch every ball. Undoubtedly, we disappoint from timeto-time. If we don’t practice throwing the long ball in peacetime, we will never have the confidence to throw it in wartime. This lesson is not new. Red Flag was created for this very reason. The first 10 missions at Red Flag are designed to replicate the first 10 combat missions. Playing it safe in Nevada’s desert is easy, and low risk. Those same safe choices may not be possible or feasible in combat. If an Airman is encouraged to make calculated risks during peacetime, he or she will be confident to execute decisions when danger is imminent. Fear of failure should not drive decision-making. Failure
in the Nevada desert, during peacetime, is a teachable moment. We should encourage these moments. Changing our playbook is not easy. We will be challenged by those entrenched with the idea of punting. Worse, if we call a deep throw on fourth-and-one, and are unsuccessful, our command may be in jeopardy. It’s a price worth paying. Find comfort that Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell was challenged when he questioned the establishment, too. Remember, Mitchell publicly questioned the Navy’s role as America’s first line of defense. Secretary of War, Newton Baker, did not believe an aircraft could sink a battleship and requested a front row seat. In fact, Baker declared, “That idea is so damned nonsensical and impossible that I’m willing to stand on the bridge of a battleship while that nitwit tries to hit it from the air.” To the consternation of the Navy and many others, Mitchell’s publicity stunt worked. His bombers sank the German battleship Ostfriesland in July 1921. Mitchell didn’t punt on fourth down, in spite of the forces that were actively encouraging him
to do so. We shouldn’t, and our Airmen shouldn’t either. Throw the ball.
A better runway for those who follow
During an assumption of command, no one reaches for their squadron’s flag because they seek to continue the status qou antebellum. We grab that flag with pride and an intent to lead boldly. We grab it with visions of grandeur. We seized the guidon to pour a better runway for those who follow. That starts by leading. On fourth-andone, tell your Airmen to go deep. After you score, instead of attempting the simple and easy extra point, go for two. Why? Because we’re Airmen, and risking all for victory is in our soul. The Air Force exclusively breeds air-minded thinkers to provide solutions to national security problems. This is the way it has always been. Truly, the behavior is in our DNA. We are the service that superciliously sings, “We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force.” It’s time to unapologetically live in fame. Your Airmen deserve it. The nation requires it.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH:
Will you stand up? By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, designed to increase awareness and understanding of a topic not often brought into the open. This year is the 30th year the campaign has taken place. “It’s important that we recognize this month because it’s an issue that keeps growing in our society,” said Shirley Crow, 21st Medical Group, domestic violence victim advocate at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. “Not that it’s new, but it is very hidden and (kept) behind closed doors.” DVAM got its start in 1981, evolving from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s Day of Unity for the purpose of connecting advocates across the nation who were doing similar work attempting to end violence against women and children. The day grew into a week of activities taking place at the national, state and local levels. According to information from the NCADV some common themes developed as awareness efforts advanced. Three prevalent themes emerged: mourning those who died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end violence. The initial DVAM was held October, 1987 and the first national domestic violence hotline was established that year. On September 14, 2016, 38 of 45 identified domestic violence programs in Colorado participated in the National Census of Domestic Violence Services. During the 24-hour snapshot participating agencies in the state reported: • 919 victims were served. • 476 victims took refuge in emergency shelters or transitional housing. • 443 adults and children received non-residential assistance and services. • 338 hotline calls were answered. • 253 requests for services went unmet due to lack of resources. Nearly 70 percent were for housing. “Hopefully the campaign reaches people so they know there is help,” said Kisa Corcoran, 21st MDG domestic violence victim advocate. “We hope to destigmatize domestic violence over time. After victims are safe, it allows the survivors to talk about it and people to know they are not alone.” “We want people to understand domestic violence more and understand how devastating it is,” Crow said. “We want them to see it is increasing in numbers and severity, for both the military and civilians.” Up until recently the statistics stated that one of every four women had been victims of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Now CCADV data shows the number has dropped to one in three. Crow and her cohorts work to make sure victims of domestic violence know their rights in the military and civilian worlds. They also provide resources to help victims and their families in both settings. “Our job is to support the victim,” said Crow. “Our job is to help them with safety planning. We can help them make a decision to leave (the violent situation) and then how to stay safe, or to know what resources are available if they decide to stay.” Both women stated it is important for victims to know visits to their office are strictly confidential. They do not have to report to anyone else on the matter. Local needs mirror the data from the NCDVS survey. The most frequent services sought through her office are legal support and help, Crow said. Following that are requests for alternative housing. For housing needs advocates contact local non-profit organization TESSA.
Red, White Blue Book
&
“They have grants for this and are trying to expand those services,” Crow explained. Because there are no resources for children victims on PAFB those needs are also referred to TESSA. The organization has resources to help children deal with being victims or witnesses to domestic violence, and understand what is happening. There are a few events taking place on PAFB connected to DVAM. There will be training offered on Wingman Day,

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Airmen from the 21st Security Forces Squadron and the 4th Space Control Squadron perform the workout of the day in honor of Staff Sgt. Austin Bieren at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Sept. 28, 2017. The workout was inspired by Bieren’s workouts and is done to honor and commemorate his death which occurred on March 28, 2017, while deployed to Syria in support of Operation Inherent resolve.

participants. They were one of Bieren’s favorite bands to listen to while working out. “It’s important to remember Austin going forward from his death, honoring his memory with this workout is about improving the Warhawk family, building relationships within the squadron and with other units on base,” said Capt. Brett Stephens, 4th SPCS engineering flight commander. Later in the day, to commemorate the anniversary of Beiren’s passing the squadron unveiled a memorial
plaque in his honor, with a majority of the squadron and Beiren’s wife, Rachel Beiren in attendance it was a somber moment but one in which his memory could be honored. “The plaque will hang in the squadron building as a reminder to all those who see it the sacrifice that Staff Sgt. Beiren made,” said Lt.Col. Chris Fernengel, 4th SPCS commander. “We’re going to remember him, not just today, but on the 28th of every month going forward.”

National Hispanic Heritage Month: 49 years of observation By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Americans observe national Hispanic heritage by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. “Here at Peterson Air Force Base we plan to conclude the celebration of the event with a luncheon at The Club Oct. 13 with guest speaker, Victor Santiago, a local Colorado Springs native and Veteran of the 65th Infantry Regiment Borinqueneers of Puerto Rico,” said Airman 1st Class Naoshi Pfeffer, 561 Network Operations Squadron monitoring management technician. “He was a United States Congressional Gold Medal recipient.” Hispanics have the second fastest growing population in the U.S. Today,

Hispanics make up 18 percent of the U.S. population, up from 5 percent in 1970, according to a news station in New York City. “We will also have traditional Mexican folkloric dances presented by Ballet Folklorico de Pueblo from Pueblo, Colorado to end the day at The Club with flair,” said Pfeffer. “A troupe, which performs traditional Hispanic song and dance dressed in a colorful assortment of costumes, will show appreciation for the rich culture that is Hispanic Heritage.” The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period. It was enacted into law on Aug. 17, 1988. The day of Sept. 15 is significant because it’s the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sep. 18, respectively.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Helping Airmen in their spiritual journey, regardless of what their beliefs are, is found through mutual respect. Chaplain (Capt.) John Boulware, 21st Space Wing chaplain, sees the fruit of this work when he baptized Airmen in “the tub” while stationed at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi May, 2016.
Chaplain From page 3 Boulware said spending time alongside those he ministers to allows him to show his trust for them in their own environment. Once the trust is flowing both ways, doors open to provide a spiritual presence. “It leads to the discussion of spiritual maturation, resilience and fortitude,”Boulware
said. “We do not always preach at them, but we support them in a spiritual sense.” Carrying that idea a little further, Boulware said chaplains are very different than first sergeants. Chaplains provide rest, respite and no judgement. “We are a neutral ground for them,” he noted. Being committed to the ministry of presence as seriously as Boulware means he finds himself outside of the chapel and pulpit frequently. In the course of building trusting relationships he has flown with refueling
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Helping serve food in the Aragon Dining Facility at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 25, 2017, Chaplain (Capt.) John Boulware, 21st Space Wing chaplain, spends his time shoulderto-shoulder with the Airmen he serves.
aircraft, climbed communications towers to clean the solar panels on top, spent time with defenders on gate duty and on patrol, and rode in Humvees during deployment. All with the intent of being with Airmen, getting to know them and creating trust. For Boulware, ministering among the troops on the job is a no-brainer decision. He said he has to be with them. “My personality is that I would rather be there,” he said. “This generation doesn’t often find themselves in pews and at services, so I take it to them.”
Boulware continues to expand his actionpacked ministry. He is obtaining certification to do all-terrain vehicle patrols at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado, and also to ride along on fire trucks during calls. He said because we live in a tumultuous world the ministry of presence includes being with Airmen in both the best and worst of times. “I see the military as a missionary field,” he said. “I have always been interested in missionary work and can do it within the confines of Air Force regulations.”

Squadron From page 1 Lt. Jonathan Diaz, 18th SPCS mission commander. “We have Orbital Safety Analysts who are direct liaisons to National Aeronautics and Space Administration whose main concern is the ISS and astronauts. We have people supporting conjunction assessment who notify the satellite owner if anything approaches their (satellite), or is going to fly close by, so they can move it if they want. Others keep the Satellite Catalog up to date.” Space operators monitor space to gain situational awareness on more than 1,300 satellites, the International Space Station and other items often known as debris. Objects entering or exiting space are observed and data is collected for analysis from a worldwide network of sensors. The ISS is closely tracked to monitor approaching obstacles that could pose a problem. Potential collisions between satellites are scrutinized. The Airmen of the 18th SPCS carefully catalog all this orbital data to provide situational awareness in the space domain. The catalog is a record of everything within Earth’s orbit at any given time. The
vital characteristics of the object, as well as its orbit also are tracked. “We catalog what the object is and where it is going,” Diaz said. “We monitor launches and assign a number so we can track them.” If an object moves, or in some way changes its course, the crews of the 18th SPCS notify several different organizations, especially if the object is owned by another country. They notify every area of responsibility within the Department of Defense, Peterson AFB, Defense Special Missile & Astronautics Center, Wright Patterson AFB, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the entire Space Surveillance Network, Diaz said. Allied countries are notified as well. “We notify everyone around the globe,” he said. “We post new two-line element sets and the reentry information to Spacetrack. org. Anyone in the world can create an account if they wish.” A TLE is a data format encoding a list of orbital elements of an Earth-orbiting object for a given point in time. Monitoring what is in space is critical, but monitoring what is leaving space is equally important. The squadron monitors and provides analysis on items re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Diaz said they determine where an object is falling and then depending upon that information, alert the proper agencies. “The on-duty Mission Commander will
post periodic blogs on required runs for reentries once they’re under 24 hours out, Diaz said. “Most people that read these blogs are from the Missile Warning Center, Missile Defense Agency, USSTRATCOMM, and other agencies.” The blogs are posted at intervals of one day, 12 hour, 6 hour, 2 hour, and final run. Entries are posted to the Strategic Knowledge Integration Web, part of the Defense Information Systems Agency website. A typical day for them is hard to describe, because there are so many variables in play guiding the crew’s focus, Diaz explained. One typical event, however, is a space launch. Launches made from the U.S. are easier for crews to plan ahead of time because they have all the information for cataloging the event. It can be complicated if the launch is made by a foreign country because all of the information is not provided. “We have a couple of conjunctions on a typical day,” said Diaz. “So we make sure there aren’t any collisions. Maybe we have a launch to process and catalog, maybe a re-entry. The one thing we do constantly is make sure the (Satellite) catalog is up to date.” “The ops tempo we experience fluctuates drastically and is most closely correlated with the space launch calendar,” said Capt. Christopher Fabian, 18th SPCS mission
commander. “Tracking and cataloging new space objects then ensuring timely, accurate information to relevant agencies is a time intensive and involved process.” Obtaining robust initial information is essential for maintaining an accurate satellite catalog, Fabian said. Once an object is cataloged, on-orbit conjunction analysis can be performed. Conjunction analysis involves screening for dangerous approaches between space objects, then providing actionable data to owner/operators they can use to perform collision avoidance actions. Generating and disseminating all the data can be extremely time-consuming if more than a typical number of conjunctions are detected. Fabian said the crews also ensure safe passage of the ISS, performing conjunction screenings between the station and other objects passing through its orbit. “Similar to the on-orbit conjunction analysis, this can create a heavy workload,” he said. “Aside from general event processing and daily procedures, a major part of the job is up-channeling space situational awareness information to Air Force leadership.” For the person sitting in rush hour traffic on a busy highway, what is going on overhead might not come to mind. But rest assured, the operators at the 18th SPCS are keeping watch on objects along the highways of space.
Airman receives bad conduct discharge, jail for drug offenses By Major E. Dane Horne Deputy staff judge advocate, Staff Judge Advocate
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A general court-martial was held August 31, 2017, and September 14-15, 2017, at Peterson Air Force Base in the case of United States v. Staff Sgt. Maverick R. Marchesani, formerly of the 21st Security Forces Squadron. During the court-martial, Marchesani was held accountable for his actions that violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He faced three charges of wrongful use of controlled substances, including oxycodone, heroin, and morphine, in violation of Article 112a. The 26-year old Non-Commissioned Officer ultimately pled
guilty to all charges, providing the military judge with detailed facts concerning each offense. The court-martial, composed of officer panel members, received testimony from four live witnesses during the sentencing phase of the court-martial. During that time, all in the courtroom heard details of Marchesani’s drug abuse, his progression from the use of prescription medication to illicit street drugs, and his unit’s offers to provide assistance to help him with his drug abuse issues. In the sentencing arguments, the prosecution recommended a sentence of 10-12 months of confinement and a bad conduct discharge, while the defense requested a sentence of 30 days confinement. In the end, the officer members sentenced Marchesani to a bad conduct
discharge, 30 days of confinement, total forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and a reduction to the grade of E-1. In conjunction with the court-martial’s sentence, Marchesani will lose Department of Veterans Affairs benefits. “Airmen must know that illegal drug use is not taken lightly and will be processed through the military justice system accordingly,” said Captain Chelsea Beshore, staff judge advocate who prosecuted the case. “There are numerous choices an individual can make in a situation such as Staff Sgt. Marchesani’s. We hope this sentence propels other Airmen to make better choices in seeking help from agencies like Mental Health and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment program if needed.”

EVERY SECOND COUNTS
PLAN 2 WAYS OUT! 721st Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department
CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. — Consider this scenario: It’s 2 o’clock in the morning. You and your family are fast asleep when you awaken to the smoke alarm sounding and the smell of smoke. What do you do? If you and your family don’t have a plan in place, it could jeopardize your safety, or could even prove deadly. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. That’s why home escape planning is so critical in a fire situation. It ensures that everyone in the household knows how to use that small window of time wisely. “Developing and practicing a home escape plan is like building muscle memory,” said Guy Chastain, 721st Civil Engineer Squadron
Fire Department assistant chief of Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado. “That pre-planning is what everyone will draw upon to snap into action and escape as quickly as possible in the event of a fire.” This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” works to better educate the public about the critical importance of developing a home escape plan and practicing it. Cheyenne Mountain AFS Fire Department is working in coordination with the National Fire Protection Association, the official sponsor of the Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years, to reinforce those potentially lifesaving messages. Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14, 2017. “Home escape planning is one of the most basic but fundamental elements of home fire safety, and can truly make the difference between life and death in a fire situation,”
said Lorraine Carli, NFPA vice president of outreach and advocacy. In support of Fire Prevention Week, Cheyenne Mountain AFS Fire Prevention Office encourages all households to develop a plan together and practice it. A home escape plan includes working smoke alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom, and near all sleeping areas. It also includes two ways out of every room, usually a door and a window, with a clear path to an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole, or mailbox) that’s a safe distance from the home. NFPA offers these additional tips and recommendations for developing and practicing a home escape plan: • Draw a map of your home with all members of your household, marking two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit. • Practice your home fire drill twice a year.
Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home, and practice using different ways out. • Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them. • Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find. • Close doors behind you as you leave — this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. • Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building. To learn more about this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out” and home escape planning, visit www.firepreventionweek. org, and www.usfa.fema.gov, contact your local fire department or call the Cheyenne Mountain AFS Fire Prevention Office at (719) 474-3355.
