# Darrell Fiss

Darrell Fiss gained most of his Safety knowledge by accident.  At age 6, he experimented with fire in the family garage, where the fire turned out good, and the Volunteer Fire Department responded quickly. When Darrell was about 10, he and a few friends experimented with homemade cannons. They used a ½” pipe with an end cap for the barrel, a charge came from a “Blockbuster” firecracker, and marbles or ball bearings were the projectiles. Their test range was a sandbox in the local playground, and the target was the wooden shutters on the local Curling Rink across the 2 lane street. Imagine the excitement as they tried to extinguish the lit fuse, as a car was travelling by!
