Home My WebLink AboutFire Department Monthly Report May 2006.PDFC AYUGA f{ ENGI{TS F N N"g, D EPARTM ET{T 194 Fleasant Gnove R.oad nthaea, INY 14E50 (607) 2s7-2371 June 13,2006 Honorable Walter Lynn, Mayor Board of Trustees Village of Cayuga Heights Monthly Report - May, 2006 The month of May offered no reprieve to the volunteers of Cayuga Heights wrth a 46 calls for the month. 23 calls in the Village, 17 in the Town of Ithaca and 6 mutual aid responses. We had 30 EMS calls and 10 fire calls. Againthe number of EMS responses dominate our call volume. Mutual Aid requests continue to pour in. Our neighbors realize that we are an asset that they can count on and request us often. We are proud that our training and dedication to the mission of the fre service is noticed by other depmbnents in their time of need and we can be sure that when we are in need of help these deparhnents will rush to our aid. Training has fallen off for the summer months. We usually take a srxnmer hiatus from training. We still train but the sessions are lower key with a lot of emphasis placed on honing skills and keeping the equipment maintained. Our driving evaluators are working hard with the members able to drive the apparatus to qualifu more apparatus operators. We have a very stringent set of guidelines to be qualified in this department as an apparatus operator and it takes many long hours of driving and pumping before a member is cleared to drive the trucks. We require an Emergency Vehicle Operators Certificate as well as the New York State Pump Operators Course and many hours spent driving and pumping until the evaluators are satisfied that the operator can perform all the skilis required to operate the trucks. The operators get qualified on one piece of apparutts at a time. There is currently a New York State Pump Operators Course being held at the Cayuga Heights Fire Deparhnent. Through the summer months the fire station becomes a favorite stopping place for day camp groups. We already have three groups scheduled to visit the station in July. We also take two trucks to BOCES in July every year where we do a demonstration for the special needs children at the Smith Building. This demo is one of our favorites every year. The looks of wonderment on the faces of the special needs kids and the excitement they show makes the day avery special one for us. We continue to spend a lot of time maintaining the fire station. The lawn is really corning in well after we fertilized and the DPW sprayed the seed in our barren spots. The ,, tr{ ELP P R.EVETVT F trR.ES" fire ffircks are all scheduled f,or their annua] trips to Tyler Fire Eqlipmerat for pump testing. The hose, ladder and air pack testing is scheduied for the sununetr. We just placed alatge gear order with our vendor and look forward to having enough gear for the fall recruit ctrass. Ttrae Fal[ 2006 Recruit Class will start haining in Octoher this year. We leave a strong list of prospeotive mernbers and keep in contact with those on the list to rnaintain interest. This month we accepted some new members out of the normal reoruit prograrn. We irnplemented a system that allows us to accept new nrembers with "significant prior experience in tfoe fire or EMS service". What we krave done is accepted five members to the deparhnent this surrumer. Three of'thern are fonner mernbers who have returned to the area, one is an EIUT and the fifth is a grad student coming to Cornell with several years of past fire figtrting experience in Fennsylvania. We look forward to good things from these new nnembers" Sincerely, lr- //// V"r'v Ge{rge Tamborelle Fire ChieflFire Superintendent EMtrRGENCY CALLSI 46 TOTAL CALLS YEAR To DATE -. ztl Total calls - 48 Fire calls - l0 EN{s calls - 30 Total Mutual Aid - 6 Lansing - 2 lthaca-2 Airport- 2 Calls in the Vitrlage * 23 Calts in the Town - 17 TRAIIIIINQ / MEETINGS / EVENTS: 5n ^ New Member Barbeque 5/9 - EMS Training - Hernorrhage Control and Splinting 5/13 - EVOC Training 5t13 - Blood Drive 5117 - Fire Training 5124- Fire Training 5130 - Fire Training UPCOMING EVENTS: 6/6 - Fire Training - $imulated Attacks at BOCES 6/8 - Fire GouncEl 6114 - EIUIS Training 6121- Ellf,S Traiming 6128 - Fire Training 7/,8 - Experienced llllenrber Training AFP.ARATUS: AItr trucks working well STATION: Station looks great Cayuga Heights Fire Department Fire Department:55002 Companies:All Date Range: From 05/01/2006 to 0S/31/2006 BoxlZonel Code:All District:All Situation Found:All Exclude Mutuat Aids:No Exclude Exposures: No Incident Run Log ncident# Date Time Address Occupant ruEEl Situation Found Attendir 1006-060166-00 05t0112006 12:15 See NYS PCR# 5-5510258 EMS call, excluding vehicle 7 - 1006-060167-00 05/01/2006 19:52 ffiFf See NYS PCR# - 5-5510259 EMS call, excluding vehicle j2 2006-060168-00 0510212006 15:37 rllnnb Brush or brush-and-grass 1 1 Disptached for fire in a wood box at Tareyton Park.
