Corinne Fire Department reports seven March calls; member earns EMT certification
Loading...
Summary
At the council meeting, the Corinne Fire Department reported seven calls in March, completion of state safety inspections for vehicles, ongoing training and joint exercises, and that volunteer Colby Nelson passed the NREMT to become a certified EMT.
Councilmember Karen Caldwell delivered the monthly fire-department report for March, saying the department handled seven calls during the month. Caldwell said four calls were outside city limits and three were inside; the transcript provided inconsistent wording about how many were medical calls, so the council asked staff to confirm exact call categorization.
Caldwell highlighted training activities: members conducted medical training on levels of consciousness and use of the Lifepack device, ran ladder scenarios, and participated in wildland training coordinated through Weber County (February through May). Joint vehicle-fire training is scheduled for April 18, and one member is enrolled in a HazMat operations class hosted by Honeyville.
The department reported receiving bids for asphalt work and exhaust fans, and that Engine 81, Engine 82 and Brush 83 passed state safety inspections and will be added to county/state MOUs. Caldwell also announced that volunteer Colby Nelson has passed the NREMT exam and is now a certified EMT, and that the department has submitted grant paperwork for equipment donation under a Utah BLM fire-readiness program.
Caldwell cautioned that Corinne falls under a moderate wildfire risk and urged residents to clear excessive debris, and she noted Box Elder County residential burn permits opened on April 1.
