2016 Annual Report • Fire Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 | Page <br /> <br />I. Fire Department <br />By Fire Chief Mark Sitarz <br />Non sibi is a term that means “not for self”. This was something that was shared with me by a <br />consultant that was working with the city. He referenced it only a few times during his <br />presentation however it was something that really stood out and hit home. My immediate <br />reaction was thinking about the fire department and the firefighters that make it whole. It is that <br />constant that seems to be in each of them which ties the “not for self” concept to their <br />commitment to community service. As you read through this report I believe you will notice the <br />true dedication to others that the members of the St. Anthony Fire Department have shown <br />through this past year. <br />The St. Anthony Fire Department is a combination paid on-call and full-time department <br />working out of one station. To provide an immediate response, 24-hours a day, the department <br />is made up of seven full-time personnel and 23 paid on-call personnel. The Fire Department <br />provides fire suppression, emergency response at the EMT level and hazardous materials <br />response at the operations level. The Fire Department also provides code inspection and <br />enforcement, fire prevention and education, administers the City’s disaster response programs <br />and the City Code Enforcement program. <br />Fire Department apparatus consist of two 1250 GPM pumpers, a 1500 pumper, a step van, a <br />rescue response truck and a staff automobile for administrative response use. Specialized <br />equipment includes automatic defibrillators, Lucas 2 device, hydraulic rescue tools (jaws of life) <br />and a mobile air cascade system. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
