My gosh, there's more of me out there who care about fire education; if we're not careful, we may end up with a NEW NATIONAL FIRE EDUCATION AND PREVENTION ECHO tied in the school net!  I'm game!  I've been fighting fire ten years, dispatching for eight, educating for ten, and specifically teaching firework safety (both the little and big stuff) for twenty years.  I also serve as a Juvenile Arsonist Evaluator for my district and make referrals.
 
Karen, you may also have seen some of my work as I work for the Grucci's out on Long Island.  Did you catch the Brooklyn Bridge this year?

To anyone who is interested,
 Do you believe that the Home Economics name should be changed? Here in Victoria, Australia, they want the name to be focused on the nutrition-health aspects. Will this change the image of Home
Economics? Will Home Economists such as myself still be able to apply for employment as Home Economists? As a student who has almost finished a Home Economics BEd, what are the possibilities? Any answers would be appreciated. 
  
                              Thanks!!

Hi Richard,
 
My name is Richard Jeffries, and I am a firefighter and a career E- 9-1-1 Fire and Emergency Medical Services Communications Supervisor. 
 As to your question as to why firefighters cut holes in the roofs 
of burning buildings...
 
The main reason we do this is to let the smoke and heat escape from the structure.  This in turn drops the interior's temperature and improves the visibility for the interior attack crews.  This also helps to safely alleviate a potential backdraft from occurring.  As the temperature drops, fire has a harder time continuing and the steam that is generated from the mixture of the fire's heat and firefighter's water helps to quickly bring the fire under control.
 
Most holes on residential structures are cut at a minimum of 4' by 6' and on commercial structures, "the bigger the better."
 
A variation on large commercial structures is the, "trench cut."  This hole is usually 4' wide and will run the width of the building and is cut AHEAD of the fire, so the the advancing wall of heat will be safely ventilated from the building and the remainder of the structure saved.
 
Thanks for your question!  If you or your students have questions about the Fire Service, 9-1-1 communications, or fire education, I'll be happy to answer all of your questions.

Many thanks for the great details on IT at work in your school!  I 
teach in a medium-sized, rural elementary school in Gaston, OR, USA. 
We are about thirty miles southwest of Portland, ORe.  I am the media 
specialist. My access to K-12Net is by a computer in my house -- I 
live in Portland -- The school just got a new phone system and our 
extension in the library uses a digital carrier that for one reason 
or another does not permit the use of a modem.  Our friends at the 
phone company will be out next week to get us "On Line!"  Until then 
my students hear about all of this wonderful 'connectivity' only from 
me.  Would students and faculty at your school be interested in doing 
some projects perhaps, after the Christmas holidays?
 
Thanks again for the great information.  I'd love to hear more from 
other schools involved in your projects.
 
Peace, Phil

Dennis...:)  Try shifting the printer to the other connection sometimes that 
helps.  With fastload you can disable it by using the pound sign and d I 
think it is.  The only program I have found that doesn't like fastload is 
Pocket Writer and one or two games.   Maverick is an excellent program and 
will copy many of the copywrite protected programs.  It also includes 
parameters for many of the programs.  The term program CCGMS 6.0 is either a 
graphic or Ansii term and is menu driven an excellent term program.  I have 
used it for the past number of years.  It has an autodial feature and redial. 
 My only complaint is that you can't print the screen.  It also has a fairly 
large buffer so it captures large amounts of material.  Carol

well about switching the connections on the printer, i had tried that before and i still have the same problem, for  the disk drive to run perfectly every time and to carry out fastload features i have to disconnect the printer connection or i will sometimes get nothing on the disk drive, like the computer does not know  it is there, but it works fine unplugged, but to run the disk drive and printer i have to disable fastload,  but i still get a little trouble.  i was wondering with your CGMS program that 




is ANSI having to do with monitor graphics, because i have a television set for a monitor.  Also would you  be able to transfer someone a copy of a copy protected software processed by MAVERICK?

I don't have an idea, but rather a question Robert.  Does Bluewave or and any qwk reader allow users to use their own names answering messages in the same reply packet?  I was considering using this reader with a class of students and allow them to send replies to K12 echos, but the reply name is fixed, isn't it?

Anyone have any suggestions about multiple users in Bluewave or Qwk's?

i do have FASTLOAD from Eypx,  but whenever i use it i cannot use my disk drive with my printer connected to the 1541 II, i have to unplug my printer connection just for the drive to work, and also Fastload  doesnt work with all programs.  I heard Maverick is pretty good, does it also remove copy protection so that  you can upload files. Also what is your term program like?

Have you tried to use the DOS Share command?  Say open the packet, and allow more than one workstation to access the message files at the same time...

The tricky part would be combining the replies though.

This newgroup in which you posted is part of k12net.  It is originally a  
message echomail area or conference in K12net.

K12net is run on PC based bulletin boards using fidonet technology.

The message areas are gated to the Internet where I presume you saw us and  
then replied.

Hi there. I expect that you teach a number of different subject areas in 
your school. I am an Automotive Mechanics teacher at L.B. MacNaughton High 
School in Moncton N.B. I use E-Mail on the NewBed system here in N.B. a great 
deal, but only check the K-12 network once in a while. The computer now plays 
a large part in automotive technology, and can only get bigger. Neil
