Obviously, this will be a lengthy process in terms of its not going to be one or two meetings. But I think it will be very good for all of us, the residents of the town, and for the people who both are career firefighters and volunteer firefighters. So I just want to first of all thank you. What I envision tonight’s meeting to be is more of a brainstorming session to flush out the issues that we’re going to need to address, flush out the items that will be in the ordinance or we may even have to do multiple ordinances to amend other parts of the Township Code. And try to get all that flushed out now so we’re not taking time later on to the extent we need certain people here to research other things. Some of you may be our experts in certain things. For example, Joe (Monzo) is volunteering and he’s going to be kind of our numbers guy, finance guy. Obviously, we got volunteer representation, career representation, chief’s representation, the administration, and Ralph and I are here representing the residents from that end. I think this is a good group to really put this together and figure it out right from the beginning so we don’t have to go and address it multiple times. So really, like I said, from my view point, we’re going to be just kind of let’s brainstorm, let’s think of everything we can now. Let’s start talking I think a little bit on manpower numbers and budgetary numbers because I think those two items will really drive the remainder of the train. Once we have those numbers, those are your big spend numbers for the budget. So once we know what the budget is and what the manpower number is, everything else will kind of fall into place. Mr. Monzo: Since I’m a late comer to this, this isn’t happening until ‘19, is that correct? Mr. Martin: Well, it all depends. I anticipate it’s going to take us ninety of one hundred twenty days to draft the ordinance. Then it’s going to have to go up to Council. Then Council… my guess is Anthony is going to have one or two public hearings on it to figure out, give the public an opportunity to voice their approval or disapproval and suggestions, what have you. From that point, once Council has a good idea of what we want to do after the public input, my understanding is then it’s got to go up to New Jersey DCA Local Finance Board. Mr. Kenny: I think you’re right Jeff, 2019 will probably be the target. Mr. Martin: I can’t imagine we get any earlier than January 1, 2019. And the Local Finance Board, looks like they’ve got a brand new commissioner now. They’re going to have brand new people potentially in their different departments who are going to be swamped up to their heads and this might not be the first thing on their list, especially because we’re going to be giving it to them right around the time the budget is going to go for the towns as well. Mr. Monzo: They have the budgets now. The Local Finance Board doesn’t have anything to do with the budgets. I don’t think everybody here knows who I am, my background. I’m the Chief Financial Officer right now in South Brunswick, Mansfield, and Rocky Hill. I was actually the Director of Local Government for a year. So I was the Chairman of the Finance Board for that period of time. They do very little with municipal budgets. It’s all done by the regulatory staff which is separate from the Local Finance Board staff. They may have some stuff to do for some finances for some bigger towns. By the time you get this to them, they’ll be through the budget process. Mr. Martin: My goal is if we can get at midnight on January 1, it switches over, that would be ideal. But a lot of it is going to be out of our control whether that happens. So I don’t think actually everybody does know each other. I know most of us know each other. But just quickly then, just for at least Joe’s sake, get to know all of us. The following individuals were introduced: Rich Kraemer, Fire Chief Joe Monzo, Chief Financial Officer Shane Mull, President of FMBA Scott Goldsmith, Volunteers Rep. Ralph Mastrangelo, Councilmember Jeff Martin, Council Vice-President Eileen Gore, Municipal Clerk Dave Kenny, Township Business Administrator Nick Buroczi, President of the Fire Officers 2 Mr. Martin: So with that, Chief, I’m kind of going to turn things over to you as the subject matter expert in some of this. But what I first want to do is kind of flush out some of the issues you see. Besides manpower numbers and besides work chart and budget, we’ll get to those separately. But just some of the things… some of the issues we see that need to be addressed as we put the ordinance together. Chief Kraemer: The big one is going to be buildings…when we build the firehouses. Most of these split, as you guys know, parts are owned by the districts, parts owned by the volunteers, and some are split ownership between the districts. So are we truly going to have the number of houses that we do now…that we’re looking to staff or are we going to be consolidated in the number of firehouses that we’re actually going to be operating out of because we can’t come to an agreement with volunteering. So that’s a big one. It doesn’t change the staffing level, it just changes the equipment. Mr. Kenny: I think we have three (volunteer) houses; Nottingham, Colonial, and Whitehorse. The others are owned by districts and they automatically become Township. Chief Kraemer: Fifteen is partial…it’s a split ownership. Mr. Kenny: DeCou…I think that may be a legal question. Even the volunteer ones may become Township property upon dissolution. Chief Kraemer: My opinion is they would, but I’ve been a minority on that opinion. I’ve made some friends with that opinion. Mr. Kenny: There’s only one case out there on it and that specifically said the district ones. And all the assets of the volunteer association will become ours. Those are district owned houses there. Because the statute says any money they have becomes the Township’s upon dissolution. The court interpreted it saying all the assets become the Township’s, so it’s a little grayer area on the ones that are volunteer. Mr. Buroczi: Does it matter if the money from the district…that rent went to pay the mortgage of the fire department? Mr. Kenny: That’s an argument that the taxpayers would tend to own it then. So I don’t know, we’ll have to talk to some of them, and there will be resistance from them. You’re right, that would shape which houses we think we would operate out of. Mr. Buroczi: I know there was an OPRA something out there with OPRA…they wanted to OPRA the volunteer fire company minutes. The volunteer fire company denied it and they took it to court. And they said because you pay the rent with taxpayer dollars, you have to give them the minutes. Chief Kraemer: That would definitely change the charters. The charters are geared to provide fire protection to that district and if there’s no more district, there’s no more chart. So now it becomes a social club. Because I’ve heard a couple stations, I think they were going to be able to staff up a fire engine and staff up a company, and that’s not going to happen. I tried explaining that to them…but that’s one concern. Mr. Mastrangelo: One of the concerns I have is the response time as we were saying before. About having something located closer to the hospital, which we discussed the land on Estates Boulevard possibly putting something small there. And maybe shutting down Nottingham, and possibly go… I mean, this is all things that…. Mr. Martin: Is that something we can put in the ordinance…how many firehouses and where they’re located? Or something to just leave up to the chief and the administration to decide subsequent to? Mr. Kenny: Well, I think in terms of what we’re going to do, it may not have to go in the ordinance, but it will all be part of the plan that we have.

    2013 Kansas Fire Incident Reporting System Annual Report What did the Kansas Fire Service do in 2013? Office of the State Fire Marshal Doug Jorgensen Fire Marshal 800 SW Jackson, Suite 104 Topeka, KS 66612 Phone: (785) 296-3401 www.ksfm.ks.gov Kansas Fire Incident Reporting System Kansas fire departments are required under K.A.R 22-5-1 to submit a report for each incident where a response is made by that fire department, regardless of the call type or actions taken on the call. Also included in the requirements are reports for any fire service casualty, injury or death, that occurs while acting in an official role a call, responding to a call, drilling, at the station, etc. Firefighter injuries caused by equipment failures are heavily scrutinized to continue improving the safety of our Fire Service. Kansas does not have a central repository of fire reports. Instead, reports received at the Office of the State Fire Marshal are uploaded directly into the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) housed at the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). Each year, the USFA releases the most comprehensive reference on the nature and scope of the fire problem in the United States, Fire in the United States. The agencies and departments participating in the NFIRS make the publication possible. In addition to publications, the data can highlight current and emerging trends for more than fires. A variety of different public safety groups use the information to drive improvements through regulation, creating better equipment, training, education, product recalls, and funding.

  • SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN
    SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group ICS FOG PREFACE This Field Operations Guide (FOG) was created to assist emergency response agencies of Spokane County and the greater Inland Empire in the art of incident management. It is intended to serve these agencies by promoting a common all-risk Incident Command System (ICS). This document provides an incident management framework to meet an agency’s routine ICS needs as well as expanding to meet the demands of large-scale complex events, which by their nature, demand safe, effective incident management and multi-agency coordination. The Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group encourages agencies to utilize this guide as a baseline for managing incident operations recognizing it may need to be supported by additional agency specific policies and guidelines. The Spokane County ICS Field Operations Guide is compatible with and used in conjunction with the Spokane Area Fire Resource Plan, the Washington Fire Mobilization Plan and the Northwest Regional Law Enforcement Mobilization Plan to order and coordinate the use of incident resources. This document should be seen as a “work in progress” and as such will demand periodic review by the Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group. Adopted: Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group PREFACE i June 2006 ICS FOG THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK PREFACE ii June 2006 ICS FOG TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Common Responsibilities ............................................................................

  • 2017 Hamilton Township Fire Department Annual Report
    2017 Hamilton Township Fire Department Annual Report 1 Message from the Fire Chief “On behalf of the fire department members of the Hamilton Township Fire Department, I am pleased to submit the annual report for 2017. The report offers an insight into the efforts and achievements that the department has accomplished in the past year. The report allows its readers to gain an understanding of the services, and work we offer to our citizens and visitors.” Mayor Lovshin and Members of Council: I am extremely proud of the sixty men and women that comprise the Hamilton Township Fire Department. They are a dedicated, highly skilled, well trained, educated, and efficient group of individuals who care and protect the wellbeing of the residents and visitors of Hamilton Township. They consistently strive to offer a service that our community can be proud of. It is my belief that their efforts allow Hamilton Township to have one of the best fire services in the Province of Ontario. In 2012 the council undertook a fire services review. The goal of that review was to create a “Single Unified Fire Service”. This goal has enabled the fire department to focus and prioritize its efforts to achieve our overall objective. In 2015 council approved a fire department review update. The update concluded the fire department had made significant gains towards creating a “Single Unified Fire Department”. The review also provided us a number of work plan items and recommendations to work towards in completing our 5 year objective (2013-2018). The work completed and accomplished since the review has only been possible as a result of the volunteer fire department memberships willingness and support.
