r <br /> like installing an epoxy floor in the Apparatus bays which would have cost.$25,000. We <br /> had $55, <br /> 000 in this years CHIP budget to replace the existing.roof(installed in 1987) over <br /> the south apparatus bay, but.have told the city that the roof does not leak:at-this time and <br /> that we should wait until we have a problem with it before we take action to repair or <br /> replace it. The Board and City of Arden'Fulls representatives agreed.with that decision. <br /> I would be more then happy to give a tour of the station to the City Council. <br /> ■ What happened to all the Station 1 paid-on-call firefighters? (There seems to be a lot <br /> fewer of them as compared to 2-3 years ago.) <br /> Station 1 currently has 10 firefighters on the roster. over the last several years that <br /> station has lost 4 firefighters to Career Fire Departments, 1 firefighter took a leave of <br /> absence to finish.his Masters Degree in.London.. The number of firefighters at each. <br /> station fluctuates every year, due to retirements, transfers and resignation. Currently the <br /> other stations have the .following number of personnel: Station# 2- 16 firefighters, <br /> Station.#3- 1.3 firefighters, Station #44 d firefighters. <br /> :In 2009 we decided not to hire any new firefighters on the department because 1/3 of our <br /> firefighters on the department had.less then.2 years of experience. We wanted to get <br /> them more training and experience before hiring a new class of firefighters. We will be <br /> hiring firefighters in the fall of 2010. <br /> Notes from the May 17 Council Work Session Page 2 of 2 <br /> Medicals <br /> ■ Does the definition of"medicals" only include accidents with injuries and cardiac <br /> arrests? <br /> It depends on.the time of day and if we are staffed: During our staffed.hours we respond <br /> to all medical calls. When the stations are not staffed we page out two fire stations to <br /> .respond to only Accident with injury calls and Cardiac Arrest calls as well as fire calls. <br /> ■ What is the fire department policy for responding to medicals? <br /> :During our Staffed hours we have two stations staffed, at that time one station would. <br /> respond to the medical. call. I:f a fire call. is dispatched both staffed. stations are to respond <br /> to the call. If a unit is on scene of a medical call when a fire call is dispatched they will <br /> respond once they are released .from the Allina Paramedics. If a truck is responding to a <br /> medical. call. but not on the scene and a fire call is dispatched, that crew will. divert to the <br /> fire call. <br /> Fire Calls always have and will be the higher priority! <br /> ■ Does this policy cost the City of Arden Hills anything extra in its budget? <br />
