SUPPORTING
OUR FELLOW
MISSISSIPPIANS AS
THEY SUPPORT US
Many of you reading this magazine remember the challenges faced by the victims and survivors of
Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Events of that storm put a face and a focus on the need for more uni-
fied large scale response, here and around the country. Since its inception in 2006, Columbus Fire &
Rescue has been a proud participant in the statewide emergency preparedness and response initiative
of the Mississippi Department of Homeland Security and Mississippi Emergency Management.
At any given time, approximately 21 members of CFR stand ready to respond anywhere they are
needed with such specialized skills as boat/water rescue, overland search and rescue (including a
trained and certified SAR canine) collapsed building rescue, and communications. These personnel
are members of Task Force II, which is comprised of 62 personnel from 10 central Mississippi
departments. Additionally, Task Forces I and III are drawn from the northern and southern regions
of our state.
While these personnel have responded to innumerable events, the ones that have been foremost in
the news recently were the Smithville, Choctaw and Yazoo City tornados, and the wide scale flood-
ing from Hurricane Isaac in the coastal counties.
So what happens here at home when these emergency response teams are deployed? Their broth-
er firefighters step into their shoes. As a vital part of the whole, firefighters do whatever is neces-
sary to continue to keep protection of the citizens of Columbus and our support role to Lowndes
County functioning smoothly and effectively. Without the whole, neither could do what they do.
The support of their brother firefighters of the teams involved in statewide response is a micro-
cosm of the philosophy of change that Katrina left in its path. As human beings we all watched
and recognized the suffering caused by lack of unity and preparedness, and we resolved to be a part
of a better future. The citizens of Columbus can be very proud of the role their firefighters have
taken in that future, and you may be assured that their love and respect for you is in their hearts
wherever they are called to serve. They think of you, knowing that it could be you in harm's way,
and give all that they can - as they would want given to you if the unthinkable happens here at
home.
AAccording to the U.S. Fire
Administration and the National
Fire Protection Association, there
are more than 16,000 intentional-
ly set fires in homes every year,
resulting in an estimated 300
deaths, 700 injuries and $500 mil-
lion in direct property damage.
The average dollar loss for an
intentionally set fire in a residen-
tial building is $21,320. The fatal-
ity rate for intentionally set resi-
dential fires is more than twice
that of other residential building
fires. Arson robs communities of
its valuable assets, lives and prop-
erty. Arson destroys more than
buildings; it can devastate a com-
munity resulting in the decline of
the neighborhood through
increased insurance premiums,
loss of business revenue, and a
decrease in property values. The
fire service can help communities
reduce the occurrence of arson
and reduce its devastating effect
by making residents aware of
these measures to safeguard their
homes.
Illuminate Exterior and
Entrances
Install lights covering all sides of
the house. Motion-activated
lighting, which is inexpensive,
should be placed near the
entrances. Interior lights on
timers give the illusion that a res-
idence is occupied.
Clear Obstructions
Trim or remove shrubbery that
blocks the view of the house
from the street. During the grow-
ing season, bushes and trees may
need to be trimmed frequently.
Install Burglar and Fire Alarm
Systems
Alarm devices can be inexpen-
sively wired to transmit an alarm
to the police or fire department.
Check the cost of contracting
with a security firm for response
to alarms.
Install Smoke Alarms and a
Fire Sprinkler System
The combination of working
smoke alarms and home fire
sprinklers reduces the likelihood
of death from fire by more than
82 percent. The most effective
fire loss prevention and reduction
measure for both life and proper-
ty is the installation and mainte-
nance of fire sprinklers.
Keep Doors and Windows
Locked
All external doors should be
equipped with dead bolts. A sim-
ple locked door could be the
deterrent that saves a house from
arson.
The best type of window hard-
ware has spring-loaded bolts that
insert through the window frame
into the wall frame.
Clean House
Oftentimes, arson is a crime of
opportunity. Remove excess veg-
etation and piles of leaves. Clean
around your house and garage,
removing unused and unneeded
paper, trash, cleaning supplies,
partial cans of paint and other
materials that could become kin-
dling and fuel a fire for an arson-
ist.
Clean Up Vacant Homes
Secure abandoned and vacant
homes, which are potential arson
targets. This may include adding
additional locks or boarding up
broken windows or other open-
ings with plywood. Remove aban-
doned vehicles. Most car fires are
started to cover up other criminal
activity or simply as an act of
vandalism.
Communicate with the owner
that authorities are concerned
about the vacant home and
explain why. Contact public
works to disconnect all utilities at
the street. This includes natural
gas, water and electricity. If there
are liquefied petro- leum gas
tanks, they should be disconnect-
ed and removed. Encourage
Neighborhood Watch members
to patrol these areas and write
down descriptions, license plates
of suspicious vehicles, and
potential suspect descriptions.

EVERYTHING
Believe it or not, Columbus Fire and Rescue, like any Fortune 500 company, is a business. A
non-profit business, but still a business. It’s a service-oriented business. Look at it as a sub-
sidiary of its corporate parent : City of Columbus.
In order for any business to succeed, its brand has to be strong and recognizable, and its
leaders reputable. Its product or service has to be of at least “good” quality.
In every business image plays an important role in its success : the way employees walk, talk,
dress, and perform. A terrible image can lead to lack of public trust.
Our customers (the public) expect to see members of the fire department with shined shoes,
shirts tucked in, combed hair, and a belt in pants. It’s part of the perceived image of the way
a good firefighter should look. When our firefighters respond to calls, home and business
owners expect great service from courteous and respectful professionals.
Everything that’s done in business is either building the brand or tearing it down. Our brand,
Columbus Fire and Rescue, began in 1840, and every firefighter that’s walked through our
station doors, worn our uniform, and provided service to Columbus, has played a role in
building the brand.
Every employee should be responsible for building the brand, and every employee should
be responsible for protecting the brand. We hope that each of you feel we’ve done a great
job in buliding and trying to protect our brand. After all, in business....... Image IS
Everything.

A After 10 years of hard work and dedication, I finally completed another milestone in my
career: finishing my Certified Public Manager program. I started this program in 2003 and
finally graduated in Jackson on June 11, 2013. During this period, I received two promo-
tions and was able to take the knowledge I gained from the classes and put it into action.
This program entailed over 300 hours of classroom and research. Looking back, this pro-
gram helped me to become a better manager of personnel and time management. The skills
that I learned are utilized daily to help better organize, research, and delegate various tasks
& events in my daily duties. Although this training is normally for State Personnel, It defi-
nitely creates a win-win situation for the employees of Columbus Fire & Rescue and the
community in which we serve.
I would like to encourage personnel who would like to advance to consider this training. It
is a commitment that would pay exceptional dividends in your career. The City of
Columbus supports this program and the only cost is your dedication and diligence. The
networking opportunities are priceless when dealing with other agencies within the state. It
was hard work but well worth the research and projects to be able to say that I am a proud
member of Certified Public Managers of Mississippi.

PPlanning and prevention are
the keys to fire safety. Protect
yourself and the children
you're watching against fire by
taking simple precautions.
Plan Your Escape
Every household should have
an escape plan. When you
baby-sit, discuss with the par-
ents what to do in case of fire.
Be familiar with the home
at which you are babysit
ting. Learn all the exits
and know how to unlock
all the doors and windows.
Know two ways out of
every room, especially
bedrooms.
All house holds
should have a meeting
place outside where every
one meets after escaping a
fire. Have the parents
show you the meeting
place and don't confuse
the children
with a different plan.
Discuss the escape plan
and meeting place with
the children. Make sure
every child knows where
to meet outside.
Be sure to have a listing of all
emergency numbers and a
number where the parents can
be reached. Also, be sure to
know the location of a neigh-
bor who will be home. In case
of a fire, call the fire depart-
ment from a neighbor's phone.
Be Kitchen Wise
Cook only if you have cooking
experience and you have per-
mission from the parents. If
you do cook, remember :
Never leave the kitchen area
while cooking until you have
turned everything off.
Don't let pot handles stick
out over the edge of the
stove where they can be
bumped or grabbed. Turn
them in, pointing toward the
back of the stove, to prevent
spilling of hot liquid.
Never put anything into a
microwave unless you are
absolutely sure it is safe.
Paper, glass, and microwave-
proof dishes are safe. In
most
cases, metals are not. Read
and follow all directions on
packaged microwave meals.
Keep children away from the
microwave. Be careful when
removing covers from
microwave containers; escap-
ing steam can cause severe
burns. Cool all foods suffi
ciently before serving them
to children.

Tips to Remember :
Keep matches and lighters out of the reach and sight of children.
Keep everything, including children, at least 3 feet away from space heaters.
Keep children in your sight at all times. While they are sleeping, make sure that you can hear them
should they wake up.
In Case of Fire
Get Out! Stay Out! If you smell smoke, hear a smoke alarm, or see flames, everyone is to get out
immediately! Go directly to your meeting place and remember, stay out! Never go back inside, not
for any reason!
Crawl Low Under Smoke. If you encounter smoke while you are escaping a fire, use another exit
route. If you must escape through smoke, remember that heat and smoke rise, so cleaner air is
always near the floor. Crawl on your hands and knees, keeping your head 12 to 24 inches above the
floor. Go first, making sure the children follow you.
Call the Fire Department. Take the children to a neighbor's home and call 911 or your local emer-
gency number. Don't hang up until the 911 operator tells you it's ok to hang up. Then call the chil-
dren's parents.
Emergency Tips
Cool a Burn. The best first aid for burns is to run cool water over the burned area for 10 to 15
minutes. If a burn blisters or appears charred, get medical help immediately.
Stop, Drop, and Roll. If your clothing catches fire, remember, don't run. Drop to the ground and
cover your face with your hands. Roll over and over until the fire goes out. Babysitters may have to
help children do this. Pull the child to the ground and roll him or her over and over to smother the
flames.

The city of Columbus has
been blessed to have had fire-
fighters who’ve stayed with the
department for 20 to 25 years,
but even more blessed to have
had those who’ve given 30 plus
years of their lives protecting
lives and property.
Recently, we spoke with four
retired firefighters: James
“Beetle” Bailey, Donald Ward,
Lewis Jaynes, and James Earl
Cunningham about some of
their experiences while with
the department, and to see
what they’ve been doing after
20 plus years of service.
CFRM : You all served 20 to 32
years in the department. Exactly
how many fire chiefs did each of
you serve under ?
Donald Ward: I served under 4
chiefs: Gene Waldrop, Jack
Steverson, Hugh Mann, and
Bobby Gale.
Lewis Jaynes: I served under 4
chiefs, also: Jack Steverson, Hugh
Mann, Bobby Gale, and James
Massey.
James Bailey: I worked under 5
chiefs: Spruill, Roy D’Shields,
Gene Waldrop, Jack Steverson,
and Hugh Mann.
Earl Cunningham: I worked
under 4 chiefs: Hugh Mann,
Bobby Gale, James Massey, and
the current chief, Kenneth
Moore. I even served as Interim
Chief between Chiefs Massey
and Moore.
CFRM: You gentlemen worked
in a different era: a time when
departments didn’t have fire edu-
cation divisions to educate the
public on fire and life safety; so
I’m sure you saw a lot more fires
than we do today. Are there any
that you just can’t forget?
Lewis Jaynes: Yeah, there was
Jeans and Things, Chism Trail,
Parker Furniture, and the old
Varsity Theatre downtown.
There were so many. We saw a
few severe injuries, and deaths in
those days.
Earl Cunningham: Parker
Furniture... that was a big fire. I
was the senior driver with no cap-
tain on the truck at that time, and
had to pump the truck and direct
the staging of other trucks com-
ing. That was the most pressure
I’ve ever been under. I’ve had a
unique experience. I’ve served in
every position in the department
except Training Chief and Fire &
Life Safety Educator. I’ve even
done your job. I’ve got some old
photos I took when I was here.
CFRM: (laughing) Yeah, that’s
funny. I see you’ve worked as a
comedian, also. Firefighters in
this department have pulled some
good pranks over the years.
Would you share some?
Donald Ward: Our old #1 Station
use to be next to City Hall. I
remember working there, and the
guys told me where to sleep one
night. It turned out to be the
Chief ’s bed. He made me get up
and move my turnouts.
James Bailey: Well this wasn’t a
prank, but a funny story. I was
riding the tailboard of the truck
once, when the driver hit a bump
while spitting tobacco. The stuff
hit me in the face. It was all in my
eyes. I couldn’t see anything when
I got ready to hook to the
hydrant. Later, I asked the Chief
if he would move me to another
truck or make him stop.
Lewis Jaynes: We put a man-
nequin in Donald Ward’s bed one
night, and he thought someone
was sleeping in his bed. It was
dark, and he was trying to make
the mannequin get out of his
bed.
CFRM: What have you all been
doing since retirement?
James Bailey: I worked as a
sewing machine mechanic at
Techno-Med for 15 years; sold
sewing machines out of my
home; and co-owned a used car
lot, body shop, and shoe shop. I
worked for Carquest for 3 years.
My wife and I bought a motor
home, and for several years, we
visited 5 or 6 states.
Donald Ward: I drove an 18-
wheeler (hauling fuel). I always
told my wife that I wanted me a
moped; so I bought me one. It’s
outside right now. I’m 74, and
that’s how I like to get around
town. I don’t get on the highway
with it.
Lewis Jaynes: I work 3 days a
week at Sunflower Grocery, and
I do some gardening around the
house.
Earl Cunningham: I own and
manage my rental property here
in Columbus. I have some hous-
es, apartments, and mobile
homes.
CFRM: Thank you all for your
time, and we wish you the best in
everything that you do.
Continued from page 21
MMoving from the tried and true and embracing the new can be difficult. Whether it's a lane change on a busy
highway, or choosing a new baby sitter, moving from the known to the unknown can be hard. All the things you
were previously accustomed to are now gone. Will the new be just as good as the old? Is the replacement worth
the effort of removing the original? The old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" certainly comes to mind.
Columbus Fire and Rescue was recently faced with such a decision. Mr. Darnell McNeal of McKellar Vocational
Center approached Fire Chief Moore with a unique proposal last year. Mr. McNeal stated that he instructed the
Law and Public Safety class at McKellar. He said that the program was the first of its kind in the State of
Mississippi, and designed to introduce High School students to the legal and emergency response professions.
The two-year program would give students a better understanding of these professions, and provide them with
the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue a career in those areas. Mr. McNeal asked if Columbus Fire and
Rescue was willing to assist in the program.
The Fire Department's involvement in schools has always been to provide safety programs. From the early days
of stop, drop, and roll, to the modern life safety message, Fire Departments have restricted themselves to only
providing safety materials and training within the school system. To suddenly begin to train and actively recruit
high school students for future fire department careers was certainly new territory. With the McKellar program
being the first of its kind in the state of Mississippi, there was nothing to draw comparisons to. Columbus Fire
and Rescue would definitely be braving uncharted territory. Once Chief Moore committed to the program, all
that was familiar and comfortable was left behind.
McKellar Vocational allowed Columbus Fire and Rescue two hours every Thursday to introduce students to the
Firefighting profession. The students earned certificates in National Incident Management and CPR/First Aid.
Learning to use the thermal imaging camera and operating the Jaws of Life were just a couple of the many activ-
ities in which the students participated. Two of the highlights of the program were when the students investi-
gated an actual fire scene, and an emergency driving course set up in the school parking lot.
Participants in this year's program graduated in May, and became the first Law and Public Safety "Completers"
in the State of Mississippi. By taking a chance and embracing change, Columbus Fire and Rescue was able to
become part of a historic event. The McKellar Vocational Law and Public Safety class has become the state
model, with identical programs being instituted in South Mississippi. These students have gained valuable
insight into the emergency response profession. Hopefully, the students will make informed decisions leading
them to jobs in Fire, Law, and other emergency response careers. Change can be difficult, but the rewards gained
from taking a new approach can be well worth the effort.

Eleven years ago, Columbus Fire and Rescue lost one of its own: Gerald Wayne Allbritton.
One night after a medical call, the engine company came back to the station and retired to
bed. During the night, Wayne suffered a massive heart attack. Wayne left behind a wife,
Donna, and two children, Jenna and Darren.
At the time of Wayne's death, Columbus Fire and Rescue had no support for his wife or
children, except what was received from the State of Mississippi. That is when things began
to change. CFR developed the Columbus Fire Scholarship and Disability Fund. This fund
furnishes college scholarships to the children of fallen firefighters. It also supplements
income for those that have been injured in the line of duty. Since the fund’s establishment,
it has aided several injured firefighters.
CFR hosted it’s annual fundraiser this year on May 4, 2013. The event was a crappie tourna-
ment.
The winners are as follows:
1st Place - Joe Wilson & Steve Perritt
2nd Place - Josh Reynolds & Mike Reynolds
3rd Place - C.D. Walker
Special thanks to our gracious supporters : Aflac, Columbus Municipal Credit Union, Biddy
Saw Works, Carl Hogan Chevrolet, Electric Motor Sales and Service, ReMax, Falcon
Contracting, Triangle Federal Credit Union, Days Inn, Columbus Scrap Materials, Snyder's
Bait Shop, Boat Gallery and K&S Outdoors. The firefighters and their families thank you
for giving back to your community.
