Preparedness training offered to 4S Ranch residents

Preparedness training offered to 4S Ranch residents - Pomerado News | Pomerado News
Page 2 of 11
Those 16 and older who live or work in 4S Ranch or other parts of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District
can get free training in emergency preparation and response.
The fire district is offering the fall Community Emergency Response Team academy at Fire Station No. 2,
16930 Four Gee Road just west of 4S Ranch. A similar academy is offered in the spring at a coastal site. Both
are combined efforts by the Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach fire departments.
There will be four fall sessions, with the first set for 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27, which will include a program
introduction and disaster preparedness. The other three sessions will be on Saturdays. The 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. class
on Oct. 1 will cover fire safety and light search and rescue operations, the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 8 class cover
disaster medical preparedness, and the final drill and graduation ceremony will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 15.
Throughout the academy, participants will also be expected to complete online portions at home since the
sessions are “very hands on, personal instruction,” said Fire Captain Dave McQuead, who coordinates the CERT
program.
“They’ll learn how to do heavy lifting of 400 to 500 pounds of concrete and (basic) first aid,” McQuead said,
adding though the CERT program does not provide first aid certification, graduates will have later opportunities
to get additional CPR and first aid training through the American Red Cross.
McQuead said unlike the City of San Diego’s CERT that forms neighborhood-based teams throughout the city,
the Rancho Santa Fe CERT program is designed so individuals can help their families and perhaps immediate
neighborhoods.
The RSF program took this format because its initial academy graduates were from Rancho Santa Fe and in
many cases did not know their neighbors because homes are a considerable distance from one another,
sometimes five acres apart, McQuead said.
However, if enough 4S Ranch residents become CERT trained, he said that community could form a team
similar to those in City of San Diego neighborhoods like Rancho Bernardo.
“4S Ranch is completely different (from Rancho Santa Fe),” McQuead said. “(Homes are) 10 feet apart, so you
have to know your neighbor.”
If a 4S Ranch team could form, he said after members take care of their homes and families, they could help
their neighbors, do a triage assessment of each neighborhood and get things organized if there is a delay in
emergency officials reaching the community.
“They’ll be able to take care of their community and neighborhood until emergency services can get to them,”
he said.
McQuead said this is especially true if the region experiences a severe earthquake. While trained for fire
situations, the CERT academy emphasizes being prepared for a quick evacuation during wildfires.
Those interested are encouraged to enroll by Monday, Sept. 26, though walk-in registrations will be accepted at
the first session.
To enroll, download the application at www.rsf-fire.org and mail it to Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District,
Attn: Captain Dave McQuead, P.O. Box 410, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. Applications can also be faxed to
858-756-4799.
Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District covers 38-square miles. Its communities include 4S Ranch, Rancho
Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch.

Lightning caused a small vegetation fire inside a vacant lot in Rancho Santa Fe,
Friday afternoon, according to fire officials.
Officials with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District reported the 20 by 20 foot
fire in a lot near Paseo Delicias and the 7000 block of La Palma at about 4 p.m.
No homes were damaged or threatened by the flames and the fire was put out
shortly after it began, officials said.

RANCHO SANTA FE: Lightning strike reportedly sparks
small brush fire
By MORGAN COOK mcook@nctimes.com | Posted: Saturday, September 24, 2011 3:30 pm
RANCHO SANTA FE ---- A lightning strike during Friday's thundershowers caused a small brush fire near the intersection
of Paseo Delicias and La Palma, authorities said Saturday.
Firefighters with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded at 3:43 p.m. to the small fire, which measured about
20 feet by 20 feet, district spokeswoman Julie Taber said.
Firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading and extinguish it, thanks in part to proper weed abatement, fire Chief
Tony Michel. If the brush had not been cut back, the fire could have spread quickly and caused a more dangerous situation,
he said.
