Be Smart, Take Care of your Heart!

February is American Heart Month. According to the American Heart Association, more than 17.3 million people die from cardiovascular disease (CVD) every year worldwide. Clackamas Fire District #1 encourages you to take these small steps to live healthier and reduce your risk for CVD.  Encourage healthy eating habits. Reduce the sodium, added sugars, and trans-fats in your diet, and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables.  Promote physical activity. Engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes each week. If working out alone is difficult for you, go for walks or to fitness classes with friends or family members.  Stop tobacco use. Tobacco use can greatly increase your risk of CVD. If you smoke, look for a support system to help you quit. Support those around you who are trying to quit as well.  Regular heath care checks. Visit your health care provider regularly to ensure you are healthy, and to address any CVD risk factors you may have1.  Learn CPR. One of the most important things you can do to increase the likelihood of somebody surviving a sudden cardiac event is to learn CPR. Studies have shown that one in three people survive a cardiac event when they receive immediate CPR, and of these survivors 40% received initial CPR from a bystander. Visit www.heart.org to find a CPR training center near you.

5 Safety/Public Education (cont.) Backyard Burning Season Begins March 1

The Clackamas Fire District #1 Backyard Burning (Domestic Open Burning) season begins today, March 1, 2017. The Backyard Burning seasons are March 1 – June 15 and October 1 – December 15 unless fire danger levels are “High” or “Extreme.” Backyard Burning is the burning of organic yard debris on the property of origin, on approved burn days, during approved burn hours, as indicated by the daily Clackamas Fire District #1 burn message at: (503) 632-0211 or via the website at www.clackamasfire.com. This applies to the areas served by Clackamas Fire District #1 to include the newly annexed communities of Boring, Damascus, Barton, and Eagle Creek.

*If you reside in the City limits of Happy Valley, a residential burn permit through the City will be required. For City of Happy Valley residents, please go to: http://www.happyvalleyor.gov/services/code-enforcement/residential-open -burning/.

Backyard Burning is only allowed on property located outside of the DEQ Burn Ban Area and is not recommended in compact housing developments.

Backyard burning materials must be dried, to the extent practicable, loosely stacked (to provide adequate air supply) to ensure good combustion, therefore avoiding smoldering fires. If the smoke or odor emission affects others, the fire must be extinguished. Materials prohibited from burning include, but are not limited to; garbage, plastic, rubber, petroleum treated materials and any material that creates dense smoke and noxious odors.

Backyard burn piles can be no larger than 10’x10’x10’ and must be a minimum of 50 feet from a structure or other combustible materials. A maximum of two burn piles may be burned at any one time, if space allows. All backyard burning fires must be constantly attended and extinguished by the fires-out time, which means no flames or smoke beyond the end of the established burn hours.

For more information on Backyard Burning, associated rules, best burning practices, and all other types of regulated burning, please visit the Open Burning section of our website at http://www.clackamasfire.com/ Health and Safety More Buzz About Energy Drinks

Manufacturers of energy drinks may want you to think the “energy” is coming from special blends of herbs and other substances, but their key ingredient is almost always caffeine—often a hefty dose that is not disclosed on labels. Moreover, the drinks supply “energy” by providing calories, specifically from sugar. (These beverages shouldn’t be confused with sports drinks, such as Gatorade, which are designed for endurance exercise and are relatively low in sugar and have no stimulants.)

How much sugar is in energy drinks? Often a disturbingly high amount, according to an analysis of 197 products by the U.K.—based Action on Sugar—with one having 78 grams (nearly 20 teaspoons) in a 17-ounce can, which is more than triple the daily limits recommended by the American Heart Association for most women and teens, and about twice the limit for most men. Half the drinks had at least as much sugar, ounce for ounce, as soda. “These products serve no purpose whatsoever, but make children addicted to caffeine and habituated to sugars,” according to Action on Sugar. 6

Health and Safety (cont.) Don’t think that only the U.K. serves up super-sweet energy drinks. Products sold here are often just as bad, including Rockstar, which has 62 grams of sugar (nearly 16 teaspoons), Amp with 58 grams, and Monster Energy with 54 grams per 16-ounce can. Many of these drinks now come in artificially sweetened versions, but that doesn’t make them risk-free.

More than you bargained for…

Many of these drinks are a witch’s brew of stimulants and other compounds that can have potentially adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. This was seen in a new Mayo Clinic study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which involved 25 healthy young adults who drank a 16-ounce can of energy drink (Rockstar). Testing 30 minutes later found a 6-point rise in blood pressure, along with a dramatic boost in norepinephrine (a stress-related neurotransmitter). That’s not surprising, since the can contained 240 milligrams of caffeine (as much as two or three cups of coffee), plus guarana (also a stimulant), along with taurine, milk thistle, and ginseng. This was just a small study using one particular product, but it’s likely that similar drinks would have comparable effects.

Bottom Line: With all that sugar, many energy drinks are like liquid candy. Worse still, their high caffeine content can be harmful for people sensitive to this stimulant, those with certain cardiac conditions, and children and teens (especially when combined with alcohol, a common practice). In fact, about two dozen deaths have been linked to high-caffeine energy drinks, along with hundreds of other adverse events, including seizures and cardiac arrest.

Health Question of the Month

Q. Does eating foods with nitrates and nitrates raise your cancer risk?

A. Yes. Nitrates and nitrites prevent spoiling and give taste and color to cured meats like hot dogs, bacon, sausage, ham and lunch meat. They can also convert to a substance known to cause cancer in animals. Studies show that eating a lot of processed meats for 10 years doubles your risk of colorectal cancer. What’s a lot? For women, 2 slices of bacon or half of a hot dog 2-3 times a week. For men, its that amount of 5-6 days a week. Even smaller amounts over time increases colorectal cancer risk.

7 Employee Highlights Administrative Assistant Lauren Stevens

I began working for Clackamas Fire District #1 (CFD) on February 6. I haven’t been here for very long, but I am loving it so far. I have been enjoying all the work I get to do and all the people I have been lucky enough to meet. Currently, I am the administrative assistant for the training division. I am still being trained, but will be handling schools and conferences in the future. Lucky for me, I’ve even been able to utilize my degree already in this new position with CFD, by helping edit and proofread documents and grant writing. I deeply respect the work Clackamas Fire does. Since my first day, I have been amazed by the camaraderie and close-knit environment, and felt incredibly welcomed. I also enjoy what I’m doing here, and despite having been here for less than a month, I feel like a valued member of the team.

I was born and raised in Portland: my parents still live in the house I grew up in. My brother lives in Clackamas. My grandparents live in Carver, a close ten minute drive from Training, so I go and visit them after work some days. My boyfriend is still in school at PSU studying molecular biology. He and I went to Los Angeles in January to visit his family.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Professional Writing from Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. I had the chance to study abroad by junior year and spent a semester in England, also traveling around to the Netherlands, Scotland, and Italy. I enjoy hiking, yoga, cooking, and reading. I’m currently reading a non-fiction account on the Scandinavian countries and why their people are so happy. I own a chocolate lab, Ronin, and a rabbit I rescued from the Oregon Humane Society, Felicity. I love traveling and am currently planning my next trip, hopefully, to visit Sweden and Iceland.

My family is an avid card game playing family. At any holiday, or get-together, we have to play a card game of some kind. It gets pretty competitive. We even played cards during the Super Bowl. A household favorite is cribbage. I like to think I’m pretty good at it, but usually my dad ends up winning. Annexation of Boring Fire District Annexation of Boring Fire District #59 Finalized

Clackamas Fire finalized the annexation of Boring Fire District, as approved by voters of both districts in November 2016.

As part of the Fire District’s commitment to the areas being annexed, a new fire apparatus will go into service to the former Boring Fire coverage area, which enhances service across Clackamas Fire’s entire expanded service area. During the contract for service, career firefighters were only staffed at the Damascus Community Fire Station 19 for 40 hours a week. The approval of the annexation created efficiencies to make it possible for firefighters to provide 24/7 firefighter coverage, with at least one paramedic on duty each day. The crew at Station 19 began Monday, Feb. 27, where the public was invited to attend the “grand re-opening” celebration.

On Feb. 6, the Boring Fire Board of Trustees had their final meeting where they voted to finalize its dissolution, and in their final act with Clackamas Fire Board members, the elected officials forwarded a petition for final approval of the annexation to Clackamas County. In commemoration and thanks for the Trustees’ service to Boring Fire and to the communities served, they were presented with shadow boxes created by Clackamas Fire’s Apparatus Operator Gary Dayton. The Fire District and the communities of both districts thanks BFD Trustees: President Mike Strickland, Vice President Chris Olson, Directors Ken Blocker, Jay Cross, and Steve Kent!

8 Community Outreach Clackamas Career Expo

On February 23, 2017, more than 60-80 Employers were in attendance and 600-700 youth were anticipated to take part in the Clackamas Youth Career Expo at Clackamas Community College from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. The event was scheduled in conjunction with the 39th annual Clackamas Regional Skills Competition, which brought hundreds of high school students to the college to compete in academic and vocational skills contests against their peers. The expo provided an opportunity for students to talk to employers, explore career fields and get information about colleges and their training programs. The expo was open to youth up to 24 years old.

Youth were able to talk directly with Clackamas Fire’s firefighters from the Hilltop Station 16 in Oregon City and Fire Prevention staff along with other agencies, such as Boeing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Legacy Meridian, Marquis Companies, and the U.S. Forest Service about careers in their field, while exploring education and training programs to help them prepare and be competitive as they enter the workforce. Additionally, Clackamas Community College provided campus tours and college placement testing.

What is it?

Written by Apparatus Operator Bryan MacKender

When you see Firefighters on a call you might ask yourself, why are they on their iPhone or iPad? Well, technology has finally caught up to meet some of our needs in the emergency services industry. Information is at our finger tips these days. We, at Clackamas Fire, utilize these devices to document patient care while on a medical call so as to reduce duplicate reentry of information once we get back to the station. We also use it to check the status of hospitals that a patient may need to visit, or transmit EKG (heart rhythm interpretations) to those hospitals. Sometimes it’s a picture for our fire reports that comes in handy. Other times it’s the ability to look up a hazardous chemical. This all in our attempt to provide you, the customer, with the BEST service possible!

9 Station Activities Bug out Bags

Last month nearly 200,000 residents evacuated their homes because of the threat of failure of the Oroville Dam. Many of the residents were given only minutes to get out with whatever they could quickly gather. This event should be a call to action for all of us. Families should keep a “Bug out Bag”* packed and readily available at all times. Your Bug out Bag, along with the 72-hour kit you should keep in your vehicle, will provide you with the items you will need to keep your family safe and comfortable, should evacuation become necessary.

Bag checklist  Personal hygiene items  Toothbrush/toothpaste  Soap  Towel  Feminine hygiene  Shoes  Change of clothes  Cold weather/wet weather gear  Sleeping bag  Prescription medications  Extra prescription glasses  Baby needs  Food if you have special dietary needs  List of personal contacts  Identification

Pets  Food  Leash and collar  Proof of immunization  Tags (license)  Bedding  Medications  Water and food dishes  Muzzle  Sanitary bags

*You should be able to prepare your bag from items you already have at home.
