Fire Chief Mahoney reports new recruits, memorials and community outreach
Summary
At the Nov. 12 Ross Valley Fire Department Board meeting, Fire Chief Dan Mahoney said two recruits start next week and staff will open recruitment in mid-January; he also summarized memorial events, a community donation, a holiday toy drive and a recent cardiac-arrest response.
Fire Chief Dan Mahoney updated the Ross Valley Fire Department Board on staffing and community outreach at the Nov. 12 meeting. “Two new recruits are starting next week,” Mahoney said, and staff will open a recruitment posting mid-January for two additional vacancies; if those positions are filled, Mahoney said it would be the first time in many years the department is fully staffed. He reported attending moving memorial events in Colorado Springs and Sacramento honoring Captain Rick Addicks and said Captain Juric coordinated the relay stop in Marin County.
Mahoney described department participation in the annual Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation relay, noting the RVFD Club donated $1,000 and the relay stopped at Station 19 to receive the donation. He also announced the RVFD holiday toy drive; toys will be dropped off at fire stations and distributed through the Fairfax/San Anselmo Children’s Center. Mahoney reported that Engine 19, Engine 21, Battalion 20 and Medic 18 responded to a cardiac-arrest call and that the patient is currently recovering. The Chief said recruitment and outreach items will continue to be reported to the Board as timelines are finalized.
