Meeting called to order 1802
• 15 members in attendance
• Minutes from September 14th meeting were read and approved
• Equipment Update
o 20 gallons of foam is here, after the meeting we’ll fill all of the trucks that were low
• Old Business
o The GHS walkthrough was discussed, key items in the discussion were: the size of the building is going to require very long hose lays, cutting the bus barn garage doors for access, make sure we call for mutual aid early, and the most likely time for a fire there is when it is unoccupied for the 3 hours early in the mornings.
• New Business
o October 3rd is Octoberfest; they would like for us to bring an engine and talk to the public about fire safety. Dean will spearhead that; it is going to start at 11:00am in the Bell equipment parking lot.
o On our October 26th meeting we are going to do a walkthrough of IFG, it would be very beneficial if everyone could be there.
• After Action Report
• Training
o Chimney Fires
We discussed best practices for chimney fires. Some of the key takeaways were; use your TICs, wear the proper PPE, roof operations, if possible don’t use dry chemical extinguishers instead use water cans, and try to limit people going inside the residence.
o With colder weather roads are also going to become slick so be careful responding to the station.
