Using Video For Public Education
THE SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT has one of the best video productions for public education that we’ve seen.
Loyal Firegeezer reader Christian L. tipped us off on this program a couple of weeks ago and I really like what I’ve seen of it. The SFFD produces a professional 30-minute program each month and it looks like it’s set up for broadcasting on their community access TV channel.
Each month Division Chief Jim Sideras explains what goes on in two or three different Fire/Rescue responsibilities and takes the viewers (citizens) behind the scenes on how the department operates. In April’s episode he talked about R.I.T. and in February they covered the different challenges of ice rescue.
They do a terrific job and all of the past episodes are archived on their website so that you can view them (QuickTime player required).
Go to this page HERE, sit back and enjoy the show.
Note: They also have several older episodes available in their own YouTube Channel HERE.
