They've extended their training to firefighters and in November they launched a day-long seminar. Topics included suicide awareness, stress management, cultural diversity, and living wills. Morrisville was one of the group's pilot locations, notes the story. The seminar is available to fire departments across the state. Read the entire story.

These also apply to any online forum, as well as Facebook. Use 'em when composing status updates or responses to status updates. Tip #1 - Compose yourself elsewhere. Open a text editor program, or Microsoft Word. Use that program to create your comment, then copy and paste into the blog window, or web form, or what have you. You'll get the benefit of any built-in spell checker. You'll have a bigger canvas for writing, e.g. a larger screen. That larger screen-- bigger window-- will help you with, say, carriage returns. You'll recognize if you've written any long or unwieldy blocks of text. (And if the blog screen times out, or something doesn't "take" when click SUBMIT, you've still got a copy of your original words.) Tip #2 - If you change your mind, act accordingly. It's doggone easy to click, type, post and within the space of a few seconds. Blink and you've added two cents on blog or board or Facebook. But if you have second thoughts-- minutes or hours or days later-- there's no shame (in my opinion) of altering your course. If it's your board-- or you're on Facebook-- you can delete your comment or original posting. (If it's received a lot of traffic or responses, it might be a glaring "undo." But you do what you have to do.) If you've posted a comment on this blog, and you have second thoughts, you have a couple options. First, you can mail me and say "hey, thinking about it more, can you delete my comment?" Or post a second time, with a clarification, a retraction, an apology, an explanation, etc. Tip #3 - Take it seriously, but not too seriously. Maybe that should be reversed, since a sense of humor-- and/or a sense of perspective-- is paramount to effective communication and relation with other humans. But at the same time, treat your words and what you say as an extension of yourself and your thinking. And without you as a physical participant-- without body language or facial expressions or voice tone-- the words are all we'll have to go on. And if you're anonymous, the burden of clarity is even greater. The reader won't have a "person" in their mind, to add context or experience to the words you've written. Tip #4 - When talking with firefighters online, expect them to talk like, well, firefighters. For better or worse, blogs and boards and Facebook conversations can resemble a virtual day room. Just be cautious if there are "women or children" virtually passing by, for a station tour or what have you. What tips would you add? If you don’t feel like following #1 by composing in a separate program, AT LEAST use a modern web browser that includes a built-in spell- check feature. It won’t catch grammatical errors, but it will keep you from discussing “cheifs”, “nozles”, etc. Lt.

Zebulon Town Manager Rick Hardin has selected Christopher C. Perry to be the next Zebulon Fire Chief. He will assume his duties on March 1, 2013. Chief Sidney Perry, absolute relation, will be retiring February 28, 2013. Chris Perry has been a member of Zebulon FD since 1986, when he joined as a volunteer. He was hired the town's first full-time firefighter in 1990. He was promoted to Captain in 1992 and to Assistant Chief in 1998. He has held that rank since that date. Chief Perry worked for Wake County Fire Services from 1992 to 2008. He was one of the original three members assigned to WC1, and later supervised the program. His last position was Chief Deputy Fire Marshal, responsible for WC1 and fire department assistance. In 2008, he moved to Johnston County and was hired as Fire Marshal. In 2010, he was promoted to Asst. Director of Emergency Services. The position still included his role as Fire Marshal. He's also currently serving as the Second Vice President on the North Carolina Fire Marshal's Association, and has served on the board of the Wake County Firefighters Association for three terms.
