CJPS Tests Our Public Safety Drone by Responding to a Garage Fire!

3/30/2021

 
CJPS has been waiting for the right opportunity to test out the potential of our drone response team which is still in development. After receiving word of a garage fire, we decided it was the right opportunity and sprang into action. In the video below and in crisp 4K video, CJPS senior pilot Connor took off from Vinal Tech and flew to a safe altitude of 350 feet before responding to the fire. We remained a half mile away from the scene and were able to capture this clear video, arriving soon after the first on scene units. Although this video cuts short (we learned the memory card needs to be in the drone, not the controller), we remained onscene for about 15 minutes and watched operations until the flames were fully extinguished before returning to school. Nice job Middlefield FD knocking it down so quickly!

In the future, we hope to be able to assist the surrounding communities with calls such as missing persons, lost hikers, water rescues, and extended calls.

Sophomore Fire Prevention Poster Contest

3/20/2021

 
Picture
The Vinal Tech CJPS sophomore class recently held a fire prevention poster contest as part of their lesson on residential fire response and safety. The contest was judged by Lt. Sean Delaney of the Water Witch Hose Company #2 of New Milford. Lt. Delaney spoke to the students about the importance of community outreach in public safety and how the New Milford Fire Department has numerous community outreach programs to promote fire safety and fire prevention. He was so impressed by the student's work and their ability to capture their audience, that he requested permission to use some of the posters as part of their community outreach program! He selected several posters to use in his campaign but the winning poster in the contest was created by Bernie and will be featured on the New Milford Fire Department's social media! Congratulations Bern!
