Codes Division: The Codes Division received 20 complaints in the month August. Of the 20 complaints, only 3 remain unresolved. All complaints from previous months have been resolved. The codes division performed 25 Assembly Permit Inspections, 6 Sprinkler Tests Inspections, 5 Fire Alarm Test Inspections, and 5 Hood System Test Inspections. The division issued 15 operating permits for assembly occupancies, and 10 fire protection system certificates There were 23 parking violation tickets issued in the month of August The fire prevention bureau staffed an engine or other apparatus so it could be in- service, for a total of 20.5 hours during the month of August Fire Investigation Unit: There was 1 fire investigation for a house fire in the Town of Ithaca, during the month of August Juvenile Fire Setters Program: There were no referrals to the program in the month August. "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." 0 September 12th, 2005, Fire Marshall's Report — Page 2 Public Education: There were 4 Public Education Details, 7 Child Car Seat Inspections, and 2 Fire Drills Witnessed in the month of August The fire prevention bureau continued to be very busy in the month of August. Nearly all assembly occupancies, in the City of Ithaca, are current with their inspections and operating permits. During the month of September, we will be continuing with our annual inspections of assembly occupancies, and we will begin with annual inspections of other occupancies such as lumberyards, service stations, and manufacturing facilities using hazardous materials. The fire alarm superintendent, Dick Srnka, and his assistant, Dave Teeter, have been busy with 2 projects. The Fire Department and the County Department of Emergency Response have been involved with the installation and testing of a new alarm monitoring system for the city's municipal box alarm system. The monitoring system is an NFPA compliant system that retransmits box alarms received at Central Fire Station to the Tompkins County 911 Center. The fire alarm superintendent has also been busy installing a new municipal alarm service cable from the corner of Seneca and Tioga, to the corner of Seneca and Geneva. I have been attending meetings on several new projects that have either just begun construction, or are in the final planning stages prior to construction. Those projects include, Life Sciences Technology Building at Cornell, East Campus Research Facility at Cornell, Arthropod Research Facility at Cornell, West Campus Housing Project Phase III at Cornell, Physical Sciences Building at Cornell, Emergency and Surgical Department addition at Cayuga Medical Center, and the Cayuga Green II Project on E Green Street. I have been spending a certain amount of time reviewing each of these projects. Through the review process, I make recommendations on how to maximize the fire safety features within the scope of the Fire Code of New York State. My end objective is to obtain the best and most effective fire detection and protection system possible for the buildings being constructed in our response area.
