Training attendance, scheduling and new incident-recording software discussed at fire department meeting
Summary
Fire department members raised concerns about declining training attendance and proposed scheduling changes; the chief and Jed outlined a planned training rollout for a new incident-recording system, with hands-on training slated for February after bugs are fixed.
Fire department members discussed falling attendance at regular trainings and options to increase participation during the Jan. 12 meeting. Shawn proposed keeping training on the last Monday of each month; Steve M. suggested adding a second Monday for video-based sessions. Michaila said she preferred the last-Monday schedule.
The chief said attendance has dropped and emphasized the need to train staff on a new incident-recording software. Jed reported that the software currently has some bugs; he said he will review reports and lead training in February after the issues are resolved.
The minutes give no indication of a formal policy change to training frequency; members were discussing scheduling options and planning software training rather than adopting a new schedule at the meeting.
The meeting also listed several specific upcoming trainings and checks: a simulation lab on stroke care scheduled for Wednesday, March 18; a truck check on Jan. 21; and communications-and-radio training in February.
