The Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company, Upper Moreland Police and Horsham Fire Company EMS collaborated with The Institute on Disabilities at Temple University to produce Autism and First Responders: Seeing Beyond the Smoke. The 20-minute video features a house fire scenario with suggestions on how to recognize and manage challenges that people with autism may present, along with interviews with Willow Grove Fire Chief Brian Focht, fire fighters Tom Winterberg, Marc Medori, family members and children with autism. Montgomery County Commissioners Chairman Josh Shapiro provides introductory remarks. This video was funded by the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council Accessibility Statement: The Youtube video has captions but does not have a transcript.
