9 <br /> • TRAINING REPORT AND STATISTICS <br /> The training program of 1982 was basically a continuation of policies <br /> established in 1981 . As usual, a major portion of our training hours <br /> were devoted to maintaining various emergency medical certifications . <br /> One new development during 1982 was the availability to us of <br /> Minnegasco' s training facilities at Watertown, Minnesota . These <br /> facilities provide us with inexpensive hands-on training in both <br /> flammable liquid and LPG fires . We hope to continue using these <br /> facilities in the future . <br /> 1982 also saw an increased emphasis on both driving training and the <br /> training of our maintenance personnel . In the past , we 've had <br /> difficulty maintaining a regular training schedule for our shop <br /> people and so we ' re happy to be able to increase their training <br /> hours 1500 over those in 1931 . <br /> The following is a compilation of training hours accumulated during <br /> 1982 : <br /> Total Average <br /> Full time 675 hours 962 hours <br /> Part time 1 , 450 hours 66 hours <br /> Maintenance 136 hours 13�. hours <br /> SCEOOLS AND SE�,II`:ARS <br /> Once again, outside schools and conferences played a major role in <br /> maintaining standards and efficiency on our department . The follow- <br /> ing, is a list of schools attended during 1982 . <br /> 1 . One officer attended the Fire Chief ' s Conference in Philadelphia <br /> 2 . Three officers attended a management seminar <br /> 3. Two officers attended the Firefighter ' s Conference in Brainerd <br /> 4. One man attended a paramedic refresher course <br /> 5. Four men completed an EMT refresher course <br /> 6 . Two men completed an EMT course <br /> 7. Three men attended the Annual State Fire School <br /> 8. Two men attended the Waterous Fire Pump School <br /> 9 . One man was sent to two arson schools <br /> 10 . One man attended an arson conference <br /> 11 . One man attended a fire tactics school <br /> 12 . Twelve men attended a firefighting course at Watertown, Minnesota <br /> 13 . One man attended a code and legal seminar. <br /> The benefits we receive from these schools is possible because of <br /> the City' s policy of encouraging attendance at these schools and the <br /> willingness of individuals to devote time and expense to attend them. <br />
