MOTION
AGENDA ITEM: Monthly Fire Department Update
SUBMITTED BY: Greg Malmquist, Fire Chief
THROUGH: City Administrator
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: Review monthly activity update from fire
department. Advise on any additional information requested.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: As a result of information requested by and provided to Council
in the past, City Administrator Kristina Handt directed Chief Malmquist to provide month end
updates. Information in the past was received very positively and appreciated by Council.
STAFF REPORT:
32 calls for the month of June.
Fire – 4
EMS-17
Hazardous-4
Good intent call-6
False alarm-1
8 of the 32 calls had 3 or less total responders on apparatus.
Department drills for the month were:
#1 – Communication and initial response
#2 – CEU Hands on for Flammable liquid response, at EMPSTF (East Metro Public Safety
Training Facility) see photos
#3 – Basic fire ground functions and communication, at EMPSTF, see photos
One staff attended a make-up quarterly EMS training drill.
One call this month involved a 10 y/o girl that fell off of her bike in front of Station One
receiving minor injuries. The event ended with the need for an ambulance. She would not
have received the level of care and maybe no care at all if it weren’t for Captain Witter
working in the station at the time and hearing her crying after the fall.
