Burbank Fire Corps Photo Shoot and Crafty Blogger Links-talk about diversity!

Do you know how to shut off your gas in case of an emergency or leak? This weekend volunteer members of the Burbank Fire Corps did a photo shoot for a presentation that will be used to educate people on all sorts of disaster preparedness. Here are two of our volunteers, Grant taking the photos while Lynne holds up the "shiny board" (reflector used to help in directing light)

And volunteer Sherylinn demonstrating turning the gas valve from aligned with the pipe to perpendicular (crosswise).

OK that was your safety tip of the day (make sure you have a wrench or the gas shut off tool handy!) now onto some fun!
