We Connected You We Connected You. We Supported You. We Strengthened the Long Blue Line. We Gave Back. 2014 Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors From the President In 2014 we connected you, we supported you, we strengthened the Long Blue Line, we gave back, and now we thank you! This annual report is one massive thank you note from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Alumni Association to you. It’s your work. We are humbled to have had a positive impact on the Coast Guard, the Academy, and the Corps of Cadets, through you. Our Annual Report tells the story of that impact by sharing what we accomplished, who was impacted, and how we made it happen. Through our collective efforts to pay it forward we provided $1.9 million in support to the Academy, completed the L44 campaign and gifted the last boat to the Academy, built the Columbarium, embarked on our first multi-project comprehensive campaign, and so much more. The health of our organization is strong with $32,110,185 in total liabilities and assets. Our complete 2014 audited financials can be found on our website, www.cgaalumni.org/financials. I hope you take the time to read this story and see evidence of your giving, and of the stewardship of the Association staff and the Board of Directors. We would not be where we are today without the support of our alumni, parents and friends. Thank you!

  • Fatal Fire Investigation
    Fatal Fire Investigation Report of the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service investigation into the deaths of Firefighters Alan Bannon and James Shears in Flat 72, Shirley Towers, Church Street, Southampton, SO15 5PE, on Tuesday 6 April 2010 Copyright of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service Copyright of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service 1 Foreword The primary duty of all fire and rescue services is to save life. In Hampshire this responsibility is central to how we operate such that the people we select and train, the equipment we buy and use, and the procedures we follow are focussed on that defining obligation. This report details the response to a fire which led to the deaths of two of our colleagues. The facts of the report and particularly the actions of all HFRS staff are framed by that duty to save life. On the night of 6 April 2010 many lives of the public were at risk in Shirley Towers, Church Street, Southampton, a 16 storey high rise block of residential flats. The scene faced by fire crews that night was frantic and frightening such that the efforts to tackle this difficult and dangerous fire required the courage, stamina and skill of all those involved. As an organisation we have dedicated considerable resources to this report, both in honour of our colleagues and also in a genuine desire to learn from these events. We have then ensured this learning has been turned into tangible actions in order to improve the way we tackle such incidents. We hope this will assist others, as well as ourselves, in understanding what caused the loss of Alan Bannon and James Shears and to do all we can to prevent such tragedies occurring in the future.
