Courage to Be Safe SM Train-the-Trainer
Mercer County Fire Academy (Captain John T. Dempster, Sr. Fire Service Training Center), 350 Lawrence Station Rd., Lawrenceville, NJ 08648
This provocative and moving presentation is designed to change the culture of accepting the loss of firefighters as a normal occurrence. Building on the untold story of LODD survivors, it reveals how family members must live with the consequences of a firefighter death and provides a focus on the need for firefighters and officers to change fundamental attitudes and behaviors in order to prevent line of duty deaths. The central theme promotes the courage to do the right thing in order to protect yourself and other firefighters and ensure that "Everyone Goes Home" at the end of the day.
