February 22, 2021 Reg. Mtg. Pg. 3 Agenda Item #2 February 22, 2021 Reg. Mtg. Pg. 4 February 22, 2021 Reg. Mtg. Pg. 5 STAFF REPORT To: Board of Directors From: Kevin Taylor, Fire Chief Date: February 22, 2021 Topic: Community Survey Summary The District conducted a Community Survey as part of the Fire Station Location Study in late 2020. A total of 889 unique surveys were returned and analyzed. Based on the Survey, community members are generally pleased with the performance of the District and place a high value on fire response, emergency medical response, and wildland fuel treatment programs. Discussion The Community Survey is a very important part of the Fire Station Location Study and the upcoming Customer-Centered Strategic Plan process. During the Fire Station Location Study process, the Board directed staff to attempt to get as many unique survey responses as possible. To accomplish this task, AP Triton administered the survey through three separate sources: electronically on Survey Monkey, through a third-party telephone polling company that contacted community members directly by telephone, and paper surveys were mailed to every address in our District. The survey was open to community members for four weeks. We received a total of 889 unique survey responses: 323 telephone, 177 web, and 389 paper. The results of the survey and associated page numbers are summarized below. 92% of the respondents live in the District, the remainder own a business in the District or both live in the District and own a business in the District. 58% of those surveyed have utilized District services, 42% have not (pages 2-3). Of the 58% that have utilized District services, 59% reported that they were extremely satisfied. The remainder reported that they were either satisfied or neutral; 2% (12) reported that they were extremely dissatisfied with the service they received (page 4). Respondents were asked if a four, six, or eight minute response time was appropriate; 799 community members responded to this question. 370 (46%) selected four minutes, 328 (41%) selected six minutes, and 101 (13%) chose eight minutes indicating that our community is evenly divided between a response time of four and six minutes (page 10). When asked what expectations were not being met, we received 668 unique responses the majority of which was “none” (page 66). “What is the Fire Department doing well” was answered 764 times (page 86). Responses ranged from “everything” to “pancake breakfast”. The survey asked community members what concerns they had about the Fire Department (page 108). 641 unique responses were submitted the majority of which were “none”. Several responses indicated that we could enhance our level of communication with the community. Interestingly, the next question asked what the Fire Department’s strengths were. 656 unique responses were submitted, the majority of which indicated community interaction and professionalism (page 127). The next set of survey questions focused on advantages and disadvantages of expanding our partnership with the Carpinteria Summerland Fire Protection District. 721 responses provided advantages, 692 February 22, 2021 Reg. Mtg. Pg. 6 disadvantages. The general theme of advantages suggested was coordination and collaboration while service dilution was the general theme of the potential disadvantages (pages 147-168). Many responses included the need for coordination to ensure success in any partnership. Finally, community members were asked to force rank the services provided by the Fire Department (page 18). In order, the top three priorities for our community are fire response, emergency medical response, and wildfire fuel treatment programs. Conclusion Staff recommends that the Board of Directors receive and file the Community Survey from AP Triton. Attachments 1. Montecito Fire Protection District Community Survey, January 2021.

    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.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    2020 ANNUAL REPORT CHIEF’S MESSAGE January 2, 2021 It is our pleasure to present our 2020 Annual Report to the community. We are proud to report our challenges and accomplishments to you in this very unique year. At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, your Montecito Fire Department set a goal to maintain our ability to provide exceptional emergency service to our community despite the challenges presented by the global health crisis. Thanks to the commitment and dedication of every member of the organization, we achieved that goal. The organization suffered no staffing or service issues which enabled us to continue to serve this great community. We also strived to support the community in whatever way possible as residents, businesses, and visitors faced challenges presented by the pandemic. As I write this message, two vaccines are nearing emergency approval and we anxiously await the opportunity for our entire community to be vaccinated. We continue to collaborate with neighboring fire departments, community service organizations, and other local government entities. These partnerships provide the foundation to effectively address community issues together to the benefit of all. In 2020, the Fire District collaborated with the Montecito Association on an outreach project called Hands Across Montecito. This program helps connect homeless people to resources and find permanent housing solutions. Additionally, the Fire Chiefs Association of Santa Barbara County established a public safety task force to identify solutions to parking issues that impede emergency vehicle access and community member egress. The task force is also addressing how to mitigate homeless encampment fires and illegal dispersed camping.

Looks to Long Term Solutions ‘We Need To Be Prepared’ Pilot Fire Flareups Cause Alarm 1 New engine comes to Yucca Mesa Leah Sanson Hi-Desert Star Posted: September 21, 2016, 6:28 PM Firefighter Ethan Blood stands in front of the new medic engine at station 42 in Yucca Valley. YUCCA MESA— A 2015 fire engine is now being used by the crew at San Bernardino County’s station 42 on Aberdeen Drive. “The new engine is four-wheel drive so it enables us to get into areas that are sandy and wash areas that are inaccessible to two-wheel-drive engines,” engineer John Martin said. Station 42’s previous engine was over 20 years old and had over 340,000 miles on it. The new engine also features side view and rear view cameras. In addition, there is an Apple iPad in the vehicle that allows crews to handle calls and situations more efficiently. “Many of us may have never imagined seeing a tablet such as an iPad in our fire engine or ambulance; yet that day has come,” engineer Jeff Allen wrote in a County Fire news article. The iPad shows pending calls, gives directions to fires, gives the location of hydrants, helps manage incidents and even helps train new firefighters with simulation applications.

    Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management 1 Running head: COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: SOCIAL MEDIA’S ROLE IN THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management: Social Media's Emerging Role in the Emergency Operations Center Eric D. Nickel Novato Fire District Novato, California Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management 2 CERTIFICATION STATEMENT I hereby certify that this paper constitutes my own product, that where the language of others is set forth, quotation marks so indicate, and that appropriate credit is given where I have used the language, ideas, expressions, or writings of another. Signed: __________________________________ Collective Intelligence in Emergency Management 3 ABSTRACT The problem was that the Novato Fire District did not utilize social media technology to gather or share intelligence during Emergency Operations Center activations. The purpose of this applied research project was to recommend a social media usage program for the Novato Fire District’s Emergency Operations Center. Descriptive methodology, literature review, two personal communications and a statistical sampling of fire agencies utilizing facebook supported the research questions. The research questions included what were collective intelligence and social media; how was social media used by individuals and organizations during events and disasters; how many fire agencies maintained a facebook page and used them to distribute emergency information; and which emergency management social media programs should be recommended for the Novato Fire District’s Emergency Operations Center. The procedures included two data collection experiments, one a statistical sampling of United States fire agencies using facebook, to support the literature review and research questions. This research is one of the first Executive Fire Officer Applied Research Projects that addressed this emerging subject.

  • Fire Response Times, the Boston Globe
    Data notes: These 20,000 fire departments reported building fires to the National Fire Incident Reporting System. The NFIRS system is voluntary in most states, and many fire departments do not participate -- for example, few California departments are listed here. On-time rates (percentage of fires getting a response within 6 minutes) were calculated by The Boston Globe. Only when a department reported at least 20 files was a rate calculated; you might choose a higher threshold. Individual fire departments can be listed here more than once, because they reported fires under more than one ID number. Information on the Boston Globe's investigation of fire response times is at www.Boston.com/fires, including an Excel version of this file. For a more complete spreadsheet with information on fires in each time period, send an e-mail to Bill Dedman, [email protected], with the word "fires" in the subject line.
