Monday starts a fresh new week. There is a lot to get accomplished this week in a short period of time. We start the 3 day training program on Anhydrous Ammonia this week. This will involve us wearing level A suits and doing a live chemical release.
This week we need to make sure the staff is up to speed on the changes that will be occurring in the department. We were advised of a 7 million dollar short fall for next year. We will be working on a plan to make sure we have the best training and equipment available for our firefighters.
Saturday we had a class on high lift air cushions and high pressure air bags. This was great training. These tools are rarely used but when they are needed they can not be beat. I am looking forward to doing a lot more training on shift with them.
I finally have the new audio visual equipment set up in the training center class room. We now have a flat screen TV mounted to the wall. This allows us to run computer programs and educational films in a format that is reliable and easy to see. This also opened up some floor space. We no longer need to have a rolling cart in the floor and a projector connected to it. It is looking very sharp! Thank you Chief Mohrmann for allowing this project to move forward.
Anyway this will be a busy week we have lots to do. Lets all be ready for Monday.
