Chief's Report November 2, 2006 |
ISO
status. We have a lot of work ahead of us and a lot of training to adequately
perform these exercises. Our all day training of the 21st provided
us with the opportunity to practice moving water as well as working on
maintenance items in Station
Runs/pageouts
see summary.
School
Safety. I met with the Principal, staff and Cpl. Paige of the PCSO. It appears
that our participation in these events will be limited to medical support,
shielding, and road blockage. We have been planning to cover these areas.
New Pumper project. We have
received a grant in the amount of $ 115,000. This is $ 15,000 less than we had
asked for so we will have to go with a used unit.
As a result of the Platte
Canyon incident, Sheriff Wegener has been contacted by the Governor’s Office to
determine what it would cost to improve communications for first responders
within the county. This means upgrading to an 800 mhz system. Lori Hodges is
developing the application and at this time the total cost is at $ 31/2 million
and rising. It’s doubtful that this will come to fruition in the near future.
The response to the letters that I sent to the
inactive members has been discouraging with only one response. Our next step
will be to send registered letters demanding the return of equipment.
