2015 Annual Report • Fire Department • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />23 | Page <br /> <br />For the past 2 years Fire Marshal Chris Fuller and Fire Chief Mark Sitarz have been attending a <br />broad range of classes in pursuit of their Emergency Manager Certification. Both are now two <br />classes away from reaching that goal which should be <br />met in early 2016. Continuing education will be a priority <br />for us as well as pursuing areas of interest that would <br />directly focus\affect the city. <br />In February of this past year both Fire and Police did our <br />annual Active Shooter training where we train together. <br />This training was held at St. Charles School which gives <br />us an opportunity to get inside and learn the layout of the <br />structure. The training that we do is invaluable in many ways. It builds trust between the <br />departments and allows us to develop better communication and common procedures between <br />the agencies. <br />In September, a tabletop training exercise was held for all council members, department <br />heads ,various department members, Ramsey County Emergency Management and CP Rail. <br />The focus of this high level training was on a rail emergency in the city. The goals were to give <br />department heads and council member’s clarity as to their roles and responsibilities, show the <br />resources needed, gain knowledge as to what resources are available and develop that level of <br />trust and confidence of each attendee. <br /> <br />VIII.
