Page 14 June 8, 2017 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Community Briefs from page 2 El Camino Fire Academy Class 148 Graduation Zulema Chavez was the only female recruit to graduate from the El Camino Fire Academy this spring, a motivating factor for the future firefighter. “I honestly loved it,” said Zulema, one of 31 recruits in Fire Academy Class 148. “When people see a female in a program like this with a bunch of guys, I guess they can’t help but judge. But I think it pushes me to do better, maybe even try harder than any of the guys. It’s a good thing.” The graduation celebration also featured a demonstration of the recruits’ skills in controlling a structure fire and a vehicle fire. For more than 50 years, the Fire Academy has trained approximately 800 graduates who are employed in fire departments across Southern California and the United States. Many stay in the South Bay to serve their community. Zulema, who will be the first firefighter in her family, said she hopes to one day work as a medic in an area fire department. She said the Fire Academy was both a mental and physical challenge, and a diverse learning experience.“You have to be 100 percent dedicated,” she said. “It’s really rewarding.” The Fire Academy’s core content meets the highest level of firefighter training. Graduates receive California State Fire Marshal Certificates for their studies in fire control, auto extrication, confined space awareness and HAZMAT first responder operations. The Fire Academy facility in Inglewood features a 30-seat classroom and an engine room, a four-story fire rescue training tower, and a fire environment building in which students combat live fires. Academy instructors are from the Los Angeles area and represent nearly a dozen professional fire departments. In addition, many instructors are training officers in their own departments.

The L.A. County Health Department says that despite the feeling that climate change is too big of an issue to fix, collectively people can make a difference. Small actions, like switching to energy-efficient lighting, can definitely help. Lightbulbs: Compact-fluorescent light (CFL) or LED bulbs use 75 percent less energy and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. If 20 million light bulbs were switched, it would be the equivalent of taking 120,000 cars off the road for a year. Reuse and recycle: A single aluminum returns a nickel at the recycling center, but energy wise it’ll save enough juice to power three hours of binge-watching your favorite Netflix series. Leave the car home: Doing this two days per week curbs greenhouse gas emissions by two tons per year. Not only is the environment better off, but walking and biking help with weight loss and to keep a healthful lifestyle. This one would be a small step, but a giant leap for your fellow commuters. Farm-to-table: Fresh produce can travel 1,500 miles from the farm to the supermarket. Instead, try shopping at stores and farmers markets that locally sourced fruits and vegetables. Shorter distances from farm to market mean less greenhouse gases from long-haul trucks. Plant some trees: The correct placement of three shade trees can save an average household up to $250 in energy costs every year, according to the U.S. Energy Department. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, too, while improving the look of the property. Lower the thermostat: Want to prevent 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from release into the atmosphere? There is a cool way to do it. Set the thermostat at home or work to 78 degrees in summer and 68 degrees in the winter. • Visit us online: www.heraldpublications.com PUBLIC NOTICES Peace begins with a smile. - Mother Teresa NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF DAVID RANDOLPH GRIFFIN Case No. 17STPB04170 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of DAVID RANDOLPH GRIFFIN A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Paul D.
