Fire Chief Chase Pearson

Fire Chief Chase will discuss Narcan (Naloxone), which is a nasal spray administered to an Opioid Overdose Victim. He will explain why it is important to have it on hand, how to know if a victim is overdosing, how to use it, how to get it and his experience with Narcan as Williams Fire Chief. It's important to know that anyone can administer Narcan to someone that is overdosing because they will be protected with the "Good Samaritan AZ Laws".
Everyone has the power to save a life!


Thank You Chief Chase

M.A.D.D. Representative & Victim

2015-2.webp

When it comes to sharing stories of people whose lives have been affected by drunk driving, nothing can convey the heartbreak more than the words of a mother who has lost a child. We will hear from one of those Mother's who will share her story. They will also deliver information on available assistance in our community. Drunk and Drugged Driving is a 100% preventable crime. 
That is something to think about!


Thank You M.A.D.D.

Tom & Shannon West

Thank You Tom & Shannon

Tracy has a personal story that will make you go WOW! Now a Community Outreach & Relations Director at New Freedom in Phoenix, he speaks about how getting sober changed his life. Today he has helped save many lives with the power of Jesus Christ and his never ending love for the many that want so badly to be free of addiction and start a new life.

Thank You Tracy
