Re: Fire Chief's Report for the month of February 1982
The Fire Department had a very busy month of February. We responded to
11 fire calls which ranged from a working house fire to 3 Mutual Aid
calls to assist other departments. There were 2 false alarms, 1 pot on
a stove,l chimney, 1 electric short, 1 gas leak, and 1 furnace malfunction.
There were 4 incident calls during the month which included check a flooded
cellar, a smoking light ballast, odor of sewer gas, and assist the Police
Department.
The Rescue Squad also responded 11 times during the month. These calls
Included 2 Cardiac, 2 Person down, 2 Difficulty breathing, 1 hip injury,
1 leg injury, 1 head injury, 1 motor vehicle accident, and 1 chest pain.
The month's response for fire calls caused a total of 141 men to spend
144 hours and 50 minutes of man hours at fire calls. The Rescue Squad
spent an additional 36 hours and 23 minutes of man hours at rescue calls.
Also were 50 minutes spent by 8 people to investigate incident calls.
I am experimenting with some storm windows in the fire house on the windows
in the back of the truck bays. So far the results show that something can
and should be done for next winter. We are open for suggestions on what
could be done along this line.
Respectfully submitted,
Francis L. Miller
