3178 is temporarily being used to replace CV2. That said, a command vehicle did not
respond on 1 call for a response rate of 97%. Average response time was 6 minutes. 8 of
our calls had 3 or less responders minus CV/3178.
Department drills for the month were:
#1 – CEU Hostile Environment
#2 – Emergency Response
#3 – Right to Know make-up
Points of interest:
- One of our CVs was totaled in a car crash as personnel responded to an emergency call.
- One Fire Fighter that previously indicated intent to resign did in fact formally resign from
the department.
- 2 potential recruits submitted applications and have begun the process to become
probationary Fire Fighters. One of the applicants is a former member of the department
and is currently full time fire for Saint Paul.
- One of our personnel attended a special training related to fire fighter suicide and
psychological trauma.
- Two personnel completed training and are now instructors for CIRAS (Collaborative
Incident Response Active Shooter)
