Our August meetings were a powerhouse of vital information, thanks to Rotarian and Fire Chief Dennis L. Rubin.  We explored essential topics like smoke, carbon monoxide, and natural gas detectors, hands-only CPR, community paramedicine, and home safety inspections.  To learn more about home safety, community paramedicine, or hands-only CPR, go to www.kckfd.org.  For more information about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home, go to www.kckfd.org/index.php/smoke-co-detectors.  The KCKFD’s efforts in leading community safety and health promotion are truly inspiring!
 
In addition to providing a great month of informative programs, Chief Rubin also championed the Club’s membership efforts.  We’re thrilled to announce that Andrew Novak is joining the Kansas City, Kansas Rotary Club!  Andy, who is the Deputy Fire Chief at the Kansas City, Kansas Fire Department, discovered our club through the Chief’s invitation to the robust series of safety and community paramedicine presentations hosted by KCKFD.
 
Since 1998, Andy has been a driving force in the KCKFD, rising through the ranks from firefighter to driver to captain.  A proud lifelong resident of KCK and a third-generation firefighter, he brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to our community.
 
Welcome aboard, Andy!  We’re excited to have your expertise and passion on our team!
