Did you know?

A viral Twitter post explains an important lesson about service dogs: if a service dog approaches you without their owner, they need help.

I will be closing this page in around 30 days folks. Life and the realization that I brought far too many memories home (in boxes) that I preached about to others whilst not daring to open my own. I lost my way for a while and somehow life sent me dogs. I will now focus on Positive Reinforcement training for dogs and dog owners. I would be amazed and grateful if a few of you would like our new page and we promise you, Disaster Prep for your pets will be a constant theme. Thank you for liking this page, sorry if I failed any of you. Be blessed troops. Chris Wharton. https://www.facebook.com/KarmaDog-Orange-Chris-Karen-Chance-101903031355669/?modal=admin_todo_tour

We are not "Dog Trainers". We are Canine Companion Coaches.

Not so sure about the video... but the tool itself is awesome and a MUST HAVE for anyone who drives a motor vehicle. Note, this tool is not only needed if a vehicle is in danger of being submerged, in any accident where a door is blocked/unusable the Resqme is invaluable.

Find out how to properly use the resqme seatbelt cutter and window breaker

How many of us are ready for a major disaster?

29/03/2019

A couple of years ago I was involved in a road traffic incident; not as the rescuer. This time I was the victim.

Our very first blog... be kind ;-) And SOS -Share our Stuff- Thanks folks.

Have any of you folks out there ever given yourself a nasty cut? Maybe you were there when another person was injured? Were you flung into the role of spontaneous responder perhaps?

Fact. Life vests under airline seats have saved very few lives. Its just that they are cheaper than the one tool that is proven COULD save lives. Smoke hoods. Passengers may not have these tools yet, but Drager has been providing airline cabin crews with smoke hoods for decades. If you fly a lot... Work in a high rise... This is a tool you may want to look at.

A must read story. Comments welcome.

The lawsuit is an attempt to avoid liability for a 2017 mass gun attack that killed 58 people.

What is the most important of all survival tools? Attitude + the ability to work as a team? Not an expert and never have I faced what these men did, but, knowing of the voyage of the Endurance, thats my best answer. Two part documentary of a story that inspires me to this day. I hope it inspires you. 105 years ago folks... Before Gortex! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZuydFcnGzs&t=1343s

Temps are on the rise in California. We have heard of critters hiding in some funny places but this is in a noodle of its own. Eyes on swivels folks. Eyes on swivels.

An Arizona family is warning parents to be cautious after finding several rattlesnakes hiding in pool noodles.

Any young folks out there looking for a noble purpose in life and a new job... OCFA is hiring!

The Orange County Fire Authority is hiring. www.ocfa.org

04/06/2018

If you live in, or close to the urban interface, this is solid advice from OCFA

On Saturday, June 2, 150 acres burned in the cities of Aliso Viejo and Laguna Beach. 2,000 residents were evacuated from their homes, but luckily no lives or property were lost. A wildfire can happen year round in Orange County, but the risk is even greater as we head into the summer months. Prepare your home and your family now. While our firefighters are still out on the fire line, we will tell you how. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for important safety tips and messages.

Bob is former military. He went on to become a career firefighter and those who know and love him simply call him "Chief" Bob is a veteran disaster responder. If you are able to donate, even if its just a little, please help this man who never stops helping others.
