LLFT Patrol - Smoke Alarm Safety with Red Cross

Homewood Platoon is to conduct another LLFT (Listen, Learn, Fix, Teach) patrol. We will be loading up rucks with whatever tools we can carry, and commencing patrol block by block, looking for residents in need of minor household repairs or work they are unable to take on. It might be clearing a garden, moving some furniture, or changing a tire. If we have the tools to fix it, we handle it on the spot. We will be partnering with the Red Cross, to install new smoke alarms in homes along the way. There are 3 roles in every Home Fire Volunteer Team; Educator, Installer and Documenter: Volunteer Safety Educator: Educates the family on fire safety and assists with completing a fire escape plan while the smoke alarms are being installed. This volunteer should be comfortable speaking with a wide variety of individuals. Volunteer Smoke Alarm Installer: Installs smoke alarms in homes during the event. This volunteer should be comfortable using a step ladder, power drill, and screw driver. Volunteer Documenter: Records information about each home and the number of alarms installed. This volunteer should be comfortable completing basic paperwork. Our strategic focus will consist of four primary elements: Listen to the residents, Learn about them and the neighborhood, help them Fix a problem they haven't been able to address, and if applicable, Teach them how to do the work next time. This project is best fit for ages 14 and up.
