I am reminded of a health related story. A “friend of a friend” had an unexpected health issue. He suffered a spontaneous detached retina. Following the surgery for repair, he had to lay on his stomach for two weeks with no movement. He wasn’t allowed to read…just lay on his stomach for two weeks. Following that, things improved. He was told if the surgery was not successful, most reoc- currences would happen with six to eight weeks. Ten weeks later, he suffered another detached retina and is now undergoing the same two weeks of non-movement con- fined to lying on his stomach.

Fire Marshal Jon Rech It took a while, but food trucks are finally making their way to Urbandale. In July, the city council passed a pilot food ven- dor program that will be a trial run through the end of the year where it will then be evaluated and tweaks make to the program/ordinance. The pilot program has many similarities to ones established in adjacent communities. Regarding fire safety provisions for food trucks and vendors, our provisions will mirror those in other metro communities. Many of the trucks we have seen thus far have already been operating in DSM and WDM for a couple years. As part of the Ur- bandale pilot program any food truck/vendors that wish to setup on private property need to complete paperwork at city hall and have an inspection completed by the fire department. So……what happens if you take a call at one of our stations from someone asking if they can bring their food truck by so we can do an inspection? At this point, they will need to contact myself or Prevention Specialist Dave Wyner to get the inspection completed. An inspection for a food truck is a little different than how we would do an inspection of a restau- rant. One of the biggest challenges for the fire service with food trucks so far is that there is not a single standard or code body that addresses the unique safety characteristics of food trucks. There is no section in the International Fire Code or NFPA that deals specifically with this area. As a result, the fire code provisions we are using for food trucks is a mesh of various areas of the fire, mechanical, electrical, and NFPA codes and standards. Not surprisingly, there have been several cases of food trucks catching fire and exploding across the U.S. over the past few years. The explosion in Philadelphia in 2014 that killed two and injured twelve really started the ball in motion to try and get minimum safety standards estab- lished for food trucks. NFPA is currently working on a food truck standard that should hopefully be completed in the next 2 -3 years. Until then, we will do our best to ensure that food trucks in Urbandale meet our established standards. Many are con- sistent with what we look for when inspect- ing a commercial cooking operation. But, we also have to recognize that these kitch- ens are mobile and will often incorporate the use of a portable generator and will be switching out propane bottles on a regular basis. In the coming months we will be doing a department training on food trucks, how doing an inspection is different, and the unique safety concerns that food trucks pose. We will also have some information on the city website soon that will provide guidance to food truck operators on what they need to do to operate in Urbandale. Fortunately, the metro DSM food truck coalition has done a pretty good job of educating food truck owners on what minimum safety items are needed and how they need to be maintained. However, in the short time Urbandale’s pilot program has been in place we have also seen individuals attempt to make a food truck who didn’t understand some of the basic electrical, mechanical, and safety items that are needed.

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.
