The Community Emergency Reponse Team is conducting its semi annual drill Saturday April 23. CERT is a group of ordinary citizens who want to take a more active role in being prepared for natural and made made disasters and to help others. We are looking for volunteers to play victims. This is an excellent opportunity to see what the program is about and we'll feed you lunch too. Students are given certificates that qualify for community service hours. Training is provided by the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department and is free to all Fairfax County residence.
