On Monday, November 8, a group of East Stroudsburg University resident advisors (RAs) participated in a basic fire extinguisher training. Nate Black, ESU’s director of environmental health and safety, led the training. He began with basic fire safety tips such as what to do when a fire alarm goes off, how sprinkler systems work, and why it’s important to take every fire alarm seriously. The group then learned how to use a fire extinguisher using the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).

The students used a fire extinguisher training system provided by Monroe County Office of Emergency Management.

Training participants include Brian Akonu, a sophomore majoring in communication from Allentown, Pa.; Emily Crawn, a senior majoring in early childhood education from Milford, Pa.; Guilherme de Oliveria Griza, a junior majoring in athletic training from Novo Hamburgo-Rs, Rio Grande; Na-Quasia Dickerson, a senior majoring in early childhood education from Sciota, Pa.; Andrea Monet Jackson, a sophomore majoring in athletic training from Newark, N.J.; Keichelle Lewis, a senior majoring in exercise science from Philadelphia, Pa.; Megan Russo, a junior majoring in athletic training from South Plainfield, N.J.; Kadyn Salvodon, a junior majoring in psychology from Tobyhanna, Pa.; Alexandria Stapel, a sophomore majoring in theatre from Montague, N.J.; Cheyenne Striano, a junior majoring in theatre from Bethlehem, Pa.; Robert Stuetz, a junior majoring in sport management from Fruitland, Md.; and Shade Stokes-Campbell, a senior majoring in public health from Norwood, Pa.
