Community Risk Reduction Coordinator Till enhances fire safety training for Peachtree City businesses

Under the warm glow of Peachtree City’s community center, Josh Till, the Community Risk Reduction Coordinator, shared his passion for workplace safety during a recent government meeting. With two decades of experience in fire safety, Till emphasized the importance of education in preventing workplace emergencies, particularly fires.

Till outlined the city’s Community Risk Reduction & Education Program, which provides essential training for local businesses. Each business in Peachtree City is required to have a fire extinguisher, and Till’s program offers hands-on training with fire extinguisher simulators. This training equips employees with the knowledge to handle emergencies effectively, whether it involves calling 911 or using a fire extinguisher correctly.

“The program has been very successful,” Till noted, highlighting the positive impact it has had on local businesses. By educating employees on the different types of fires and the appropriate responses, the program aims to minimize risks and enhance safety in the workplace.

Businesses interested in participating can easily access information through the city’s website, where they can find resources under the fire and EMS section. As Till concluded his presentation, it was clear that Peachtree City is committed to fostering a safer environment for its residents and businesses alike, ensuring that preparedness is at the forefront of community safety efforts.
