HomeMy WebLinkAboutReport of the Fire Department for July 2004VP CAYUGA HEIGHTS FIRE DEPARTMENT 194 Pleasant Grove Road Ithaca, NY 14850 (607) 257 -2377 3, 2004 Honorable Walter Lynn, Mayor Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Monthly Report — July, 2004 The month of July was a moderate month for the fire department. We ran 28 calls for the month. We had 19 calls in the village, 7 calls in the town and we went mutual aid to Ithaca and Lansing once each. Our responses times remained excellent through -the summer. Our members really stepped to the plate this summer and kept our response times down and our response numbers up. I am very pleased with our numbers this summer. Nine members of the department attended the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore last month. We attended seminars on the latest firefighting and training techniques and then explored the show floor -with all the newest firefighting equipment that is on the market. All who attended from the department benefited from the trip. We used the grant we received from the DEC to purchase equipment to fight brush fires. We purchased 5 Indian Tanks a chainsaw and rakes, brooms and shovels that we will start using to fight and grass or brush fires we are called to. We would also like the board's approval to apply for a New York State OFPC Grant to purchase new turnout gear as well as helmets, boots, gloves and hoods for our members. This is a grant that, if awarded, would not cost the village any further budget funds. Engine 202 was inspected last month and was found to have several cracked suspension spring in the rear end. Caskey's Garage rebuilt the suspension system for the truck and it is great working order now. The truck committee for L231 met with E -One representatives at the station last month and we had our pre -build conference. We went over every line item on the truck specifications and worked out several changes to the specification and are very pleased with the final results. "HELP PREVENT FIRES" V The fire company members have started raising donations for the upcoming Tunnel to the Towers Memorial Run in New York City. This run is to commemorate the life and tragic death of Firefighter Steven Siller who died on 9/11. Three member of the department will run in the 5K run and one member will carry a flag in memory of one of the 343 firefighters who passed away that day. We will be holding a pancake breakfast to help raise funds in early September. We. have two of our bunkers departing for college this month but we have chosen two active members to fill those rooms. Firefighter John Putnam and Firefighter Nathaniel Cisne will be leaving at the end of the month. We have chosen Firefighters Danny Wnek and Jeff Hardgrove as the newest bunkers. We look forward to continued excellence from our bunkers.
