Monthly Report - March 2006
The month of March was very steady for the fire department. We started the month
strons. had a lult in the middle of the month, and then finished March by running seven
callsin the 3i't. We had 21 runs in the viliage, 15 runs in the Town of Ithaca and
responded mutual aid 3 times in March. There were22 medical calls and 15 fire calls for
the month. As before EMS continues to dominate our calls. The calls for the month
were pretty routine for the department but that did not stop our members from coming to
the stationfor all the calls. We still averaged 11 members per cali.
The members of the department in the Firefighter I class are all doing very well. Every
night when there is training at the class that requires a piece of apparatus the Cayuga
HJignts Fire Department sends down a truck and an officer to help out with teaching the
clasi. This ailows us to monitor the progress or oru firefighters in the class as well as
getting our more senior members time to operate the fire trucks during the training. Our
members in the class appreciate the opportunity to train with our equipment as well as
seeing their fellow frrehghters and officers closely following their progress. Nine
*.*b.r, of the FAST team took an all day training offered in Dryden by Meridian Fire
Training Solutions on Large Area Search tactics. This class focused on techniques used
to search large areas such as bowling alleys, schools, movie theaters and other such high
occupancy areas quickly and effeclively. The class was extremely beneficial to the
mernbers of the pAsT team and now we have a much better knowledge base for these
difficult searches. In house training is going very well. We did live fire training at the
burn tower at the end of March that worked out very well for our members. Our training
officers keep giving us interesting training options that engage our firefighters and keep
us all on our toes.
The fall recruit class drive is in full swing. Asst. Chief Stocker is following up with those
people we have on ouf waiting list and we are planning an open hose barbeque in May to
,ho* those who have shownlnterest in joining the department around and give a quick
introduction of the department and let them know what our expectations wiil be for them.
We have visited the pVt basic and EMT Critical Care classes at Cornell University to
try to recruit some of those people into the department. There are also several members
,' f.{ E[.P P REVEIVT F X R"ES''
of our community with past firefighting experience who have expressed interest injoining the department. Fire Council has identified this need for community members
who have an interest and have past experience as people we need to recruit right away
and get them into the department quickly to keep them interested. We will go out of'the
normal recruit class time frame with these people to integrate them to the depanment.
We are very pleased with this new interest in the department.
Fire Department Elections took place on April 4th. We have a very good slate of officers
for the Board to approve at the April iTtn meeting. We have one new officer on the roster
after the elections. Lt. Matt Abbinanti moved up to an Assistant Chiefs position and
Danny Wnek, former fire company president, moved into a Lieutenants position. We are
very pleased with the slate of officers. The fire chief s position was filled for another two
year term by yours truly. Lt. Wneks resume is attached to this report and he is the 6nly
new officer to the department. All the other officers' resumes are on file with the villase
clerk. The annual banquet and swearing in of offrcers is April 22"d atthe County Club
"of
Ithaca.
The fire station is in great shape at this time. We will be putting down some top soil as
soon as the weather breaks in the spots around the driveway that were laid bare by winter
plowing. Our in house gardener is working hard at making the flower bed under the sign
look attractive and we appreciate all her efforts. The fire trucks are all working well at
this time. The Rescue 241 prplect is still a work in progress. Bid opening is April tr3th
and at the meeting on the 17"' we hope to have a resolution for the purchase of the new
vehicle for the board's approval.
Sincerely,
Fire Chief/Fire Superintendent

Dear Members of the Fire Company,
I am writing to express my desire to run for the 284 position for which I have been
nominated' I feel that I am both capable of and willing to undertake all that is required to fulfill
the duties of the position.
since I joined CHFD in the February of 2004,I have devoted as much time and effort
into this Department as possible. I have taken numerous classes with more scheduled for the
near future' have attended every in-house training I could, and have spent a majority of my free
time at the firehouse both before and after moving in as a bunker. I try to make myself available
to help others whenever I can. As to my leadership skills, you the members have seen me at
work in both my capacities as a firefighter and a company officer. Actions speak louder than
words' and I hope that my abilities speak for themselves. you are far better suited to judge them
than i am to describe them to you.
Due to our low volume of "real calls," it's difficult to see how knowledgeable someone is
and how adept they are at putting their knowledge into action. As an officer, you have to not
only be knowledgeable; you must also have the ability to rernain level-headed and in control the
entire time' I assure you I wouldn't be writing this letter right now if I wasn,t confident in my
ability to meet the requirements of the position. I'm not asking you to vote for me on the first
Tuesday in April; on the contrary, I'm asking you to vote for the member whom you,d feel most
comfortable going in on a call with and who you would trust enough to be in charge at a fire
scene' I simply hope that I have adequately demonstrated my abilities to be the Companv
member you vote for.
