Village of Cayuga Heights
Monthly Report — March, 2003
o/
Your volunteer firefighters responded to 42 emergency calls during the month of March. This
brings our year to date total to 143. Our calls were evenly split between fire and EMS and we
responded to eight mutual aid calls including a working structure fire in Lansing. One of our
firefighters received minor injuries at the fire but was evaluated and cleared on scene. There was
some excitement in the Village as well. On March 10, we responded to a car accident on North
Triphammer Road involving 2 cars and a TCAT bus, and luckily, there were only minor injuries.
On March 30'x, we were dispatched for a kitchen fire in an apartment building and our first
arriving engine was able to quickly control the situation.
As always, we have been busy training. We held in -house trainings on child abuse and
ventilation. During our driver rodeo FF Mike Miroiu, FF Greg Tremblay and AC George
Tamborelle were certified on several engines and the ladder truck. On April 6'� our new recruits
had a fun day and got to see their first smoke and fire at the burn tower. We have several trainings
scheduled for the rest of the month including a vehicle extrication lab with Comell's EMT class.
Fire Department elections were held on April 1" and the results are listed on the next page. With
the approval of this board, these officers will be sworn in at our annual banquet. As a reminder
the banquet will be held at the Country Club of Ithaca on Saturday April 12' , at 6pm. Outgoing
company president and vice president Lauren Putnam and Bruce Derrick have been working on
the banquet around the clock to ensure it is a success.
On a personal note, I would like to thank the Village Board for the opportunity to serve as Fire
Chief. This has been an interesting and exciting position. The Fire Department has accomplished
quite a lot in the past 6 months and I look forward to continuing my service as an Assistant Chief.
Sincerely,G�
