Codes Division: The Codes Division received 41 complaints in the months January and February. Of the all complaints, 14 remain open. All complaints from prior months have been closed out. The codes division performed 84 Operating Permit Inspections, 2 hood suppression system test inspections, and 10 fire alarm test inspections. The division issued 51 operating permits for assembly occupancies, 1 sprinkler system certificate, and 12 fire alarm system certificates Fire Investigation Unit: There were 3 fire investigations in the months of January and Februarys. The investigations were for fires at 204 Williams St, 222 Floral Ave, and 1401 North Cayuga Street. Juvenile Fire Setters Program: There were no referrals to the program in the month December. Public Education: There were 3 Public Education Details, and 2 Child Car Seat Inspections in the months of January and February. In January, Firefighters Otis Jackson and Mike OHalloran began working in the fire prevention bureau. Both firefighters began their code enforcement training in 2005. They have both been certified by NYS as Code Compliance Officers. Both firefighters will be continuing on, at different times over the coming months, with the required training to be code enforcement officers. "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." 0 January /February 2006 Fire Marshall's Report — Page 2 During February, the fire prevention bureau began inspecting Cornell owned buildings that are located in the City of Ithaca. We have been inspecting the buildings jointly with the NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control Inspectors. I anticipate that the inspections will occur at varying intervals over the next 2 -3 months. During the last Board of Fire Commissioner's Meeting, I asked and received approval from the board to increase the rates that the Fire Department charges for various inspections and permits. I have taken that rate increase request on to the Administration Committee and to the full Common Council for approval. The approval was granted and the rate increase was put into affect on February 15th, 2006. Lastly, the fire prevention bureau with the approval of the Fire Chief has purchased a tablet -type portable computer to use during inspections. We are testing some software developed here at the fire department that we will be using with this new computer. I anticipate deployment of the unit that will be used by the inspectors within the next week. I am also working with the Building Department to come up with a common software and hardware solution that will allow both departments to perform field inspections using an electronic recording system that will allow for quicker turn around of inspections, and provide the ability to share information electronically between both of our departments.
