2014-2015 Telfair-Wheeler Youth Leadership Program

First meeting of the Telfair-Wheeler Youth Leadership Program was held October 6, 2014. The topic was Public

Safety.

The article below was submitted by Kerri Cheek, 12th

Grade- Wheeler County High School.

**We learned that there is more to what firefighters and police officers do than just what the public believes.

Firefighters do more than just fight fires; they do a lot of EMS work, with wrecks. Police officers protect the public,

but most of the time they are just in the public to let people know they are there. We also learned how long it takes to

become a police officer and fire fighter. They have a lot of training to go through. They must be prepared to help us.

We learned about the differences in Volunteer Firefighter and Firefighters. Volunteer Firefighters don't get paid, here

as firefighters that are doing it for a living get paid; however, both volunteer firefighters and regular firefighters go

through the same exact training. Also having a firefighter station in a certain radius of your home makes your home

insurance go down.**
