That old "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" adage applies to the fire service too. Evaluating the real cost savings of avoiding fires vs. money spent on prevention programs each year can easily illustrate how beneficial these programs can be. These may be traditional outreach programs, like elementary school programs, smoke detector installation, etc. However, they may be designed to work across city offices to create efficiencies - like changing inspection processes to allow for comprehensive mapping of buildings for the local fire service, ordinances requiring fire sprinklers, etc. For more information and ideas, check out this article:

Did you know that fire sprinklers aren't just for public buildings and multi-unit residences? If you're building a new home, remodeling an existing home, or even just considering safety upgrades, it may be worth thinking about. With today's open concept designs and synthetic materials, home fires are burning hotter and faster than ever before. Fire sprinklers can help save your life, your home, and some money on your insurance.

Hi, my name is Adam Siefer. I started in the fire service in 2010. I currently serve as a Captain with the Bremen Fire Department, a position I was promoted to in 2023. I’m certified as an Instructor II and Fire Investigator, and I enjoy teaching fire courses, leading trainings, and helping with fundraising events for the Bremen Volunteer Firemen’s Association. I serve as Vice-President for the association. Outside of the fire service, my wife Alyssa and I stay busy with our three children, including twin boys and a daughter. As a family, we enjoy camping — usually “glamping” when possible — and spending a lot of time at the softball diamond supporting our daughter and her teams. By joining Dinges Fire Company I look forward to giving back even more to the fire service. I look forward to meeting even more firefighter teams in the counties of St. Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall, and Kosciusko. My goal is to help keep all firefighters safe and comfortable as they serve their local communities.

Kids and adults with Sensory Processing or Autism Spectrum Disorders can be of particular concern in a fire situation. In many cases, the overwhelming stimulus in these situations can result in behaviors that might seem counterintuitive to a neurotypical individual. Being aware of how to communicate effectively can make an incredible difference in getting them to safety and/or de-escalating a stress response. For tips on planning ahead and communicating effectively in the moment, check out the link below:
