Chief's Update
Reminder Department Christmas Party Dec 14 @ Sierra Valley Grange. Six fire vehicles (engines, water tender, rescue/utility) have been sold for a combined sales income of $45k. Staff is searching for a replacement water tender to purchase and will bring a proposal to the Board for review and approval. President Rich McLaughlin and Chief met with the new Portola City Manager and looking forward to working closely with him. City has regained its Firewise status. Chief hopes to have a roundtable discussion on evacuation procedures during fire season and after-action review what happened at the Gold Complex.
On Friday December 6th, Firefighters responded to a structure fire in the Delleker area. A mobile home was well involved with fire upon arrival. The resident was not home at the time of the fire. The residence was destroyed and the fire spread to nearby trees. There were no injuries and no damage to neighboring properties. The displaced resident has family in the area.
President McLaughlin and Chief are working on a grant proposal from the FEMA Assistance to Firefighters grant program for station exhaust systems and safety gear washing machines (extractor). The grant closing date is 12/20/24. The estimated grant request is $300k for five fire station exhaust systems and two extractor/washers.
Sierra Valley's structure fire turnout gear expired after ten years in service. Per OSHA and NFPA requirements, replacement gear will need to be purchased. We will have an estimate of cost with a payment plan for the January Board meeting. Estimated replacement is 10 sets of structure coats, pants, boots and helmets.
