As seen around … Marengo

Here's a message from Michael Maida:

I recently had the chance to photograph the new Pierce Enforcer for Marengo Fire Protection District. It’s a sleek and modern apparatus, and it looks like it will serve the community well. In addition, it seems that Marengo may have acquired an old E-One squad previously used by Gurnee. These kinds of updates are always exciting to see, especially when they bring new technology and resources to local fire departments.

Thanks for sharing this information,

Michael Maida

It’s always interesting to follow these kinds of developments in local fire departments. New equipment can make a big difference in response times and overall safety. I appreciate people like Michael who take the time to document and share these changes with others who are interested in emergency services. If you're into firefighting or just enjoy seeing how communities grow and evolve, these updates are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Braille Instructions

Reading Braille:
1. Familiarize yourself with the Braille alphabet, which consists of six dots arranged in two columns of three dots each. Each dot or combination of dots represents a different letter, number, punctuation mark, or special symbol.
2. Place your fingertips lightly on the Braille text, typically on a page or surface made specifically for Braille.
3. Feel the dots with your fingertips and identify the patterns to determine the corresponding letters, numbers, or symbols.
4. Move your fingertips systematically across the Braille text, reading from left to right and top to bottom, just like reading regular text.
Writing Braille:
1. Learn the Braille alphabet and practice writing each letter, number, punctuation mark, and special symbol.
2. Use a Braille slate and stylus, which is a tool specifically designed for writing Braille. The slate has rectangular openings to hold the paper, and the stylus is used to press the dots onto the paper through the openings.
3. Place a piece of Braille paper or cardstock into the slate, ensuring it is aligned properly.
4. Hold the stylus like a pen or pencil and press the appropriate dots onto the paper, one at a time, following the Braille alphabet.
5. Lift the stylus after each dot is pressed to avoid smudging or blending the dots together.
6. Continue writing the desired text, moving from left to right and top to bottom on the paper.
7. Review your writing by feeling the dots with your fingertips to ensure accuracy.
It is important to note that learning Braille may require time and practice, as it is a tactile skill that requires the ability to distinguish between the different dot patterns. However, with dedication and persistence, individuals can become proficient in reading and writing Braille.
