FIRE SCHOOL EVENTS FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2015 Friday Evening Activity (no registration required) Louis Crosier Farm Safety Symposium (Q0006) Smarter Safety/Life after Tragedy 2 hours Friday 7-9 PM 2016 Dixie Fire School Safety Symposium Serious injury to yourself, a child or loved one due to an accident is a nightmare shared by all. This year we will be hearing from a few courageous people, Gray Rock a dairy farmer who suffered life changing accident while chopping silage. Jack Trumbo who was involved in a tractor accident, and Anna Ellis who suffered a tragic accident as a child. These guest speakers are all over Kentucky and are willing to tell the story of how this nightmare became a reality for them and their families. As we all know an accident can happen in the blink of an eye and we can never be fully prepared for its aftermath. This is why we strive so hard to educate our youth and farmers on how to prevent farm related accidents and our first responders how to respond most effectively to those accidents. Saturday Activities VENDORS Vendor booths will be open during the school in the RPC Atrium 2
