Committee reviews Strategic Action Plan, highlights NFPA 1720 training and CDL driver-training issues
Summary
The committee reviewed progress on the Strategic Action Plan, noted work on NFPA 1720 training, discussed driver training for CDL operators and legal considerations for routine non-emergency assignments, and asked departments to bring staffing requirements to the next meeting.
The Emergency Services Committee reviewed its Strategic Action Plan for 2020 and identified training and NFPA 1720-related items requiring continued attention. The minutes record that considerable work has been done on training and meeting NFPA 1720 standards, but no consensus was reached for a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Committee members discussed driver training for personnel operating commercial driver's-license (CDL) vehicles and legal considerations when those employees perform routine, non-emergency assignments. The minutes direct fire departments to bring detailed requirements for officers and staff (including any career-staffing needs) to the next meeting for further discussion.
The transcript does not record specific training curricula, dates, or budget implications; it records that departments will present requirements next month for group consideration.
