The Chief is not voted on. John S announced that because of changes in his life he will not be running for Asst. Chief.
· Firemen were dismissed to Columbia Grain for a walk through. We were met by Brandon Rehder. Firemen were led through several elevators and the seed plant on the east side of Primeland. During walk through firemen discussed best practices for each structure, hydrant location and engine/truck placement.
· Firemen returned to the station at 2040.
· Firemen discussed what we would do if structures caught on fire at Columbia and the consensus was if we could get on location early we might be able to put the fire out, but if the fire had a head start the best we could do is prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings and surrounding grass. Bob recommended that all firemen drive around Columbia and Primeland properties in the daylight to evaluate the situation in case of a fire.
· Meeting adjourned at 20:55.
