Children will learn different skills in each area, including how to be cautious of burns and scalds, fireplace safety, how to feel a door for heat before opening it, and how to exit the house through a window if the door is hot, according to Leonard Temby, Redlands fire marshall. The trailer is equipped with a non-hazardous smoke machine, which will help children learn to crawl under the smoke in the event of a fire. In order to educate as many children as possible about fire safety, the trailer will be used collaboratively by the Colton, Loma Linda, and Redlands fire departments. The donation was matched by the Friends of the Ronald McDonald Charities. Camp Good Grief, located in Mountain Center, is a three-day experience for children ages 8 to 12 who have had a sibling or parent die.
Children have the opportunity to meet other kids who understand how they are feeling.
The program also allows them to run, play, laugh, and make noise again. All rights reserved.
