Fire chief delivers 2024 response report; council thanks outgoing chief
Summary
The fire chief presented the department's 2024 response numbers and council members thanked an outgoing chief for six years of service; transcript lists response counts but contains some unclear phrasing.
A speaker identified as the fire chief delivered the Du Bois Fire Department’s 2024 report and announced department response numbers. The transcript records the department responded to 263 calls in 2024, with 56 described as “fire boxes” (which the chief said includes structure fires and automatic alarms). The transcript also referenced local boxes and other call types and recorded figures including "76 calls for service," "76 calls for mutual aid," and "12 chief calls." One phrase in the transcript appears as "421 hazmat incident," which is unclear in isolation and may reflect a transcription error; the numbers below are reported in the meeting record as spoken.
The speaker thanked colleagues and community members for support and noted they had passed responsibilities to Chief Kelsey. Council members and other officials publicly thanked the outgoing chief named in the record (Chief Federici) for six years of service.
Council asked for the fire report to be added to the department reports section of the official meeting record. The transcript does not include a written report text in full nor does it provide additional breakdowns, budget figures or mutual-aid partners.
