NOVEMBER 2020 THE RIDER /11 Practice Preparedness and Prevention – Resources on Barn Fire Prevention from Equine Guelph
Guelph, ON Sept, 28, 2020 - Waiting until the wildfire approaches danger- ously close is no time to draw up a dis- aster preparedness plan. Learning the hazards of storing hay is too late after the barn is reduced to ashes and all is lost. It is not a scenario that one fath- oms will ever happen to them, until it does. Equine Guelph’s October health- care tool of the month is the free, in- teractive Barn Fire Prevention tool. This is a great place to start before signing up for the invaluable Horse-
Portal.ca Fire & Emergency Prepared- ness one-week short online course set to begin Oct 5, 2020. Returning expert guest speaker
Rebecca Gimenez-Husted will be available all week to provide insight and answer all your burning questions. Gimenez has travelled the world pro- viding training in Technical Large An- imal Rescue Techniques (TLAER website) and has published numerous critiques, techniques and journal arti- cles on the topic. Rebecca edited the only textbook available to the fire service and veterinarians on technical rescue of large animals. As a volunteer firefighter in
Gray, GA, Rebecca is doing R&D work with University of Edinburgh (UK), EKU (KY) and several veteri- nary schools. A past Logistics Officer for FEMA’s Veterinary Medical Assis- tance Team (VMAT -2), decorated combat veteran and a Major in the US Army Reserves (retired); Rebecca of- fers a wealth of information and is ac- tive in various organizations related to disaster preparedness. In one of the many videos in-
cluded in the Fire & Emergency Pre- paredness course Gimenez answers if horses really will run back into a burn- ing building. The Fire & Emergency Pre-
paredness course has a strong focus on prevention but also contains an abun- dance of information that can ensures if the unthinkable happens you are in a position to do everything to improve the odds of a successful outcome. Fire fighter Riley McGilloway
of Halton Hills Fire Department de- scribes how even the smallest details like location of feed tubs and buckets can improve your barns fire safety.
