Summer Safety Tips

Clear Your Car
Did you know that it takes only 20 minutes for the temperature inside your vehicle to reach lethal levels for infants and children?  Since 1998, more then 500 children have died from being left in a vehicle unattended.  In 2010 Fire Engineer Tanner Miller developed a program for the Kingman area to remind citizens to "Clear Your Car", every time you step out of your vehicle. 

Safe Kids
In October of 2011, Fire Prevention Specialist Chris Weaver received training and his certification in child passenger safety.  Through his training he can provide child safety seat inspections to ensure your seat is installed properly and your child is safe.  For your free inspection, please contact Chris Weaver at (928)753-2891.

Kingman Fire Department Hazardous Materials Team
Five members of the Kingman Fire Department Hazardous Materials Team recently attended a 40 hour Tank Car Specialist class held in Pueblo, Colorado. They are from left to right; Captain/Paramedic Tom Flanagan, Engineer/Paramedic Jason Burke, Battalion Chief Porter Williams, Engineer/Paramedic Mark Olivas, Captain Larry Hanson.  All costs associated with the class were funded by DHS/FEMA with cooperation from Arizona Division of Emergency Management.   

The Tank Car Specialist course develops the specific fundamentals and skills associated with emergency response to railroad tank car incidents involving hazardous materials (HazMat) and/or weapons of mass destruction (WMD).  The training provides detailed technical information combined with extensive hands-on practice of the actions and appropriate responses with simulated large-scale HazMat/WMD incidents.  This specialist level course covers the highly technical skills and knowledge necessary for responding to hazardous materials in a rail transportation environment.  The skills required at this level are significantly beyond those of a hazardous material technician. DHS/FEMA funds this program through the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC).

NOTICE: Fireworks in the city limits
The State of Arizona recently passed a new law allowing for the sale and use of specific consumer fireworks. House Bill # 2246 takes effect December 1, 2010. This bill allows Incorporated cities and towns to regulate the "use" of those consumer fireworks. Therefore the City of Kingman has passed an ordinance prohibiting the "use, ignition or discharge" of those consumer fireworks with specific penalties to be levied against anyone violating this ordinance. The City of Kingman Ordinance also takes effect December 1, 2010. The City of Kingman ordinance does allow for the "sale" of consumer fireworks, but prohibits their "use". Anyone choosing to sell or distribute "Consumer fireworks" shall abide by strict rules spelled out in the ordinance.
