We had 24 calls in the Village of Cayuga Heights, 16 in the Town of Ithaca and 7 mutual aid requests. There were 22 EMS calls and 25 fire calls. Our major incident for the month involved a bicyclist who ran into the side of a delivery truck at high speed. This call resulted in the patient being airlifted to a trauma center for treatment. Trainings in July were well attended. Early in the month we did an Intro to FAST training for those members in the department who are getting ready to apply for the team. We went over riding assignments, equipment that we use for the FAST call and its location on the truck. This was good for us to do because we have moved equipment around on E202 and it allowed us to review and revamp our riding assignments. Our next two trainings were on Truck and Engine Operations. In these two trainings we focused on the power tools on the all of the apparatus and assignments for first arriving units. We are using the summer to review all of these skills with the more senior members of the department. The last training of the month was used to go over patient packaging at the accident scene. We use back boards, splints and extrication boards in tight packaging situations. It was pretty warm for this training and we all lost a little weight that night. All of our hose testing is done for the year. We had several pieces of our older house fail testing. When this happens we take it out of service and dispose of it. We will need to replace some of it to keep spare hose at the station but this will not be a major expense at this time. We have picked the dates for the fall recruit class and have determined that we will be looking for a class of 10 to 12 new members at this time. We have the equipment to outfit this many new recruits. Recruiting will start in late September. We will be voting new members in at the beginning of October and then doing the recruit classes the last two weekends in October and the first weekend in November. The summer has been busy but fulfilling so far. Busy firefighters seem to be happy firefighters.
