Signups being taken for Coast Guard conducts pyrotechnics training
annual TRCR job fair
Plans are underway for the
annual Community Job Fair on
Thursday, March 23, from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m., hosted by Three
Rivers Casino Resort.
This fair will be free to
attendees, businesses and
community partners.
Last year’s event was well
received with 28 vendors rep-
resented and an estimated 300
participants attending.
Local businesses and appli-
cants know the challenges
when applying for jobs and
locating resources.
Three Rivers aims to bring
all those parties and resources
together to form a network in
the local community by utiliz-
ing its marketing experience
and contacts to publicize this
For those who may have
seen unusual flares in the sky
or orange plumes of smoke on
the Siuslaw River last
Wednesday morning near the
North Jetty, the explanation
was simple: Coast Guard
Station Siuslaw River members
were conducting pyrotechnics
training at the jetty’s dive entry.
Training included classroom
instruction prior to live exercis-
es. The training, facilitated by
Boatswain’s Mate First Class
(BM1)
Nielsen
and
Boatswain’s Mate Second
Class (BM2) Marshall, provid-
ed an opportunity for boat crew
to practice the discharge of
pyrotechnics from the water
and to observe different types
of discharged canisters.
Whether on a Coast Guard
asset, commercial fishing ves-
sel or recreational boat, visual
distress signals are part of a
boat’s safety equipment. There
are a variety of signals, includ-
event so that there is a large
pool of attendees.
The following businesses
have already committed to
participating:
Driftwood Shores, Fred
Meyer, Lane Community
College, Les Schwab, Oregon
Department of Transportation,
Siuslaw Valley Fire & Rescue,
Spruce Point Assisted Living,
Three Rivers Casino Resort,
Confederates Tribes of Coos,
Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw
Indians, Northwest Youth
Corps and Western Lane
Ambulance District.

ing flares, smoke signals, com-
bination canisters and non-
pyrotechnic signals such as
SOS lights, mirrors and flags.
Check them for condition
and expiration dates before you
leave harbor. Their intended
purpose is to summon help
should the need arise and
should only be displayed when
immediate or potential danger
exists.
Visual distress signals can
only be effective when some-
one is in a position to see them.
Therefore, when employing
pyrotechnic devices, do so only
when you see or hear a boat or
airplane, or when you are rea-
sonably sure someone is in
position to see the signal.
Training and good judgment
are an essential part of the suc-
cessful use of visual distress
signals.
