We had many accomplishments and should be proud of our growth. We took a department that was in a good place and made it extraordinary. We continue to be an example for other departments to follow. As I have said it’s easy to be great once but the real challenge is being great all the time. We must, as an organization, keep our foot on the pedal and continue to grow and develop our people and our organization. Our goal at the LaGrange Fire Department is to continuously exceed the expectations of the community and our stakeholders. In 2019 we reached three major milestones. We added a fifth fire station that will provide quicker response to the northwest quadrant of the city. We added a training center that meets all our training needs. We maintained our ISO classification of 2 during our last audit. To have these two additions to our department within a single year is exceptional and to maintain our ISO classification was monumental. Each of these milestones helps us provide a better service for the citizens of LaGrange.

  • Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code 2012
    PREFACE Introduction The Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) is a state regulation promulgated by the Virginia Board of Hous- ing and Community Development in cooperation with the Virginia Fire Services Board, both Governor-appointed boards, for the purpose of establishing statewide standards to safeguard life and property from the hazards of fire or explosion arising from the improper maintenance of life safety and fire prevention and protection materials, de- vices, systems and structures and the unsafe storage handling, and use of substances, materials and devices, includ- ing fireworks, explosives and blasting agents, wherever located. The provisions of the SFPC are based on a nationally recognized model code published by the International Code Council, Inc. and fire protection and prevention standards published by the National Fire Protection Associa- tion. Such code and standards are made part of the SFPC through a regulatory process known as incorporation by reference. The SFPC also contains administrative provisions governing the use of the model code and standards and establishing requirements for the enforcement of the code by the local and state enforcing agencies. In keeping with the designations of the SFPC used previously, since the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code is incorporated by reference into this version of the SFPC, it is known as the 2012 edition of the SFPC. Arrangement The SFPC is part of the Virginia Administrative Code (VAC), the official compilation of state regulations published under the authority and guidance of the Virginia Code Commission. Due to the difference in the section numbering system between the VAC and the model code incorporated by reference into the SFPC, the SFPC utilizes a dual sec- tion numbering system.

  • Recommended Best Practices for Fire Department Training Programs
    Fire Prevention Issue Date: January, 2015 and Control Revision Date: Recommended Best Practices For Fire Department Training Programs 1. Purpose: The NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control, with input from the Department of Labor’s Public Employees Safety and Health Bureau (PESH) and fire service organizations, has developed a recommended set of “Best Practices” for use by fire departments. The purpose of these “Best Practices” is to assist fire departments in complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Regulation 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.156(c)(1), [“§1910.156(c)(1)”]. In New York State this regulation is enforced for firefighters and public employees by t he DOL’s Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH). This document and guidance herein is not intended to formulate a regulatory mandate nor is the purpose of this document to dictate specific training courses. It is intended to identify “best practices” and core competencies that should be included in all training programs based upon the job duties of individual firefighters. These recommendations should not be considered to be all inclusive of the subject areas necessary to develop a comprehensive training program, but will be useful in developing a training prog ram that meets the intent of OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.156(c)(1), [“§1910.156(c)(1)”]. 2. Scope: OSHA Regulation Section 1910.156(c)(1), applies to all fire departments in New York State, and requires that members be provided with training and education commensurate with the duties and functions that such members are expected to perform.
