Board tables creation of two on-call fire administrative positions, opts to add fire police
Summary
After meeting with the fire chief and foresters, the board decided to table creating two paid on-call administrative fire positions and instead authorized hiring additional fire police while staff prepare a proposal for forest management and continue brush truck build work.
The board reported it met with the fire chief to discuss creating two new paid on-call positions — a scene support specialist and an administrative/command support specialist — but decided to table those new administrative roles and instead hire additional fire police for the near term.
The chair summarized the discussion, saying the board "has decided to table these for now and instead hire additional fire police." Fire and EMS also reported training activity and continued work on the build of a new brush truck; the transcript notes ongoing training at CIA in Limerick covering extrication and stabilization.
No formal vote on the staffing strategy was recorded beyond the chair’s report that the board chose to table the administrative hires at this time. The board instructed staff to continue coordination with the fire chief on next steps and the brush truck procurement.
