2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA oil Wednesday, December 23,1997 a Tw Right jolly After Santa arrived by fire truck at the Daddow-Isaacs American-*- Legion, he entertained dozens of children, among them Lauren’ -* Lochus, who looked focused as she told him what is on her Christmas list this year. os POST PHOTOS/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK 9 Niskey (continued from page 1) in 120 people receive some degree of medical attention for burn inju- ries per year. “We've been seeing a decline in injuries,” said Dillard, who has been with BPF for 11 years. “They have declined not only in number, but severity too.” House fires tend to be the ex- ception to this statistic, said Dillard. “It appears to be tied to non-operating smoke detectors. People are not being as attentive to checking batteries as they should be.” Studies show that “ more than 30 percent of smoke detectors are not functioning due to missing or dead batteries, he said. Last year the BPF taught more than 42,000 children in more than 80 school districts how to prevent burns, but has not had programs i in the Back Mountain. Niskey hopes they will be able to do work in Dallas and Lake-Lehman. One of the main learning tools for the organization is the Fire Safety House. These are two- story mobile homes equipped with doors that get hot and that fill with non-toxic smoke. The realis- tic setting helps to show people how to respond in a house fire situation. Also, a fire fighter in full gear with a noisy breathing apparatus is present to familiar- ize children with the sometimes scary appearance of the fire fight- ers. “We want them to know this isn't someone they need to be afraid of,” said Niskey. BPF offers its services to cities that own such homes. “The city of Holiday Dining Ideas from The Dallas Post ALLANTI ZY — Finest Northern Italian Cuisine— Reservations 239 Schuyler Ave. Kingston 287-1788 Traditional Seafood Entrees...

Street, Wilkes-Barre Niskey, who has been with BPF for 10 years, said, “Every time I read a case history it makes me grit my teeth to get more informa- tion out there.” Not only does BPF school chil- dren on how to prevent burn inju- ries, they teach them how to deal with someone who is recovering from a severe burn. “We work with training the students who will have a classmate with burns. We prepare them for when this child comes back and has on pres- sure garments,” said Niskey. The burn victim is not only healing physically, but also psychologi- cally, he said. “This is a many faceted program.” To learn more about the BPF and its programs call '610-481- 9810.
