BCES hosts incident stress managment class Barrow County Emergency Ser vices recently hosted a critical inci dent stress management class that taught students how to assist others in a one on one, peer- to- peer sup port system. The class is part of four-core class es required for those wanting to be part of a multi-county team. “The class taught students what signs and symptoms to watch for that may indicate someone is having trou ble dealing with a critical incident.” said Lieutenant Scott Dakin, who taught the class. “It also teaches stu dents a system in which they can talk with a person who is in distress and work them through the incident and move them into the healing process.” The class was not only attended by staff with Barrow County Emergency Services, but firefighters from Athens Clarke County Fire and Emergency Services, law enforcement officers with Barrow County Sheriff’s Office and Gwinnett County. Mental health professionals with Barrow County Schools as well as several in the private industry attended the class as well. The class was held at Barrow County Schools and lasted for two days. Both lectures and breakout ses sions, where students used what they had learned, kept the class interac tive. Barrow County Emergency Ser vices is leading a push to develop a critical incident stress management team that consists of public safety personnel from multiple counties as well as mental health professionals from the area. The main goal is to have a program in place that will help the public safety professional’s deal with the accumulative stress that goes with their job. This stress can affect their health, family, and other areas of their lives. If untreated it can also develop into post-traumatic stress disorder. The team will not only be training in response to critical incident calls such as a child’s death, but will also be developing education programs to help the public safety professionals learn how to deal with the stress of the jobs. The team will also be developing education for family members of these professionals. This education will teach family members what to look for if their loved ones are having problems and how they can assist them in dealing with stress. Another advantage of this is that this system can be utilized in other areas, including Barrow Coun ty Schools. “Our personnel are our best asset and we want to take steps to help them if needed.” said Chief John Skinner. “The things they see in their job can have an adverse effect on them and this team is one of the ways to help deal with that.” Fires reported at vacant mobile home, house Just after 8 p.m. Wednes day, Feb. 10, communica tion officers received a 911 call reporting a fire in the 300 block of Carter Road. “Firefighters responded to this incident and found light smoke showing from a vacant mobile home,” said Lieutenant Scott Dakin. Crews made entry into the mobile home and found trash burning in the bathroom of the structure. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire and ventilated the structure. The cause of the fire was an intentional human act. The investigation is being conducted by the Barrow County Emergen cy Services Fire Investiga tion Team and the Auburn Police Department. Lieutenant Dakin said that there is no indication that this fire is associated with two other recent fires that are still under investi gation for being intention ally set. Just after 8:15 p.m. on the same evening, commu nication officers received a 911 call reporting anoth er structure fire in the 50 block of Creekwood Court. Firefighters responded to this incident and found heavy smoke conditions in the home. “Firefighters made entry into the home and found heavy fire damage in the kitchen area of the home,” said Dakin. “The fire had burned through the floor of the kitchen and melted a water line. The spray from this line had extinguished the fire.” The home suffered extensive smoke damage from this fire. Firefighters quickly extinguished any remaining hot spots and checked for further exten sion. No one was home at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Fire Investigation Team. Two adults and three children were displaced as a result of this fire. Spring CERT classes to be held March 7-May 9 Barrow County Emergency Ser vices will be hosting the spring Com munity Emergency Response Team (CERT) training starting Monday March 7, and will be held through May 9. “The class will run for nine weeks on Monday nights at 7 p.m.,” said John Sliman the CERT Public Infor mation Officer. “The class concludes with an emergency drill where the team can come together and put what they have learned to use. The date for this drill will be announced during class.” The classes take place at Barrow County Emergency Services Head quarters, located at 222 Pleasant Hill Church RD NE, Winder. The CERT program teaches cit izens how to prepare and respond to possible disasters that may affect the citizens of Barrow County. The students learn things such as disas ter preparedness, search and rescue, medical operations and many other subjects. It is taught by Barrow County Emergency Services personnel and teaches students how to first take care of themselves and their families if a disaster hits. After graduating, students can join the CERT team in Barrow County if they would like to volunteer.
