Summary
Chief Chris Tolson reported 45 runs in May, noted training and equipment needs and requested donations of Gatorade. The board voted to continue consideration of a Stop the Bleed community training pending more information.
Chief Chris Tolson reported the Fire Department responded to 45 runs in May and that three firefighters attended the OSFA convention. He asked the board for donations of Gatorade to support department needs and said training will be held for crane and wilderness rescues and that Station 3 is beginning spring cleaning.
The board considered a request for the Fire Department to host Stop the Bleed training for the department and the community; meeting minutes describe the program as a public-safety initiative based on the American College of Surgeons Stop the Bleed campaign and licensed by the U.S. Department of Defense. Trustee Kathy Snellbaker moved and Mayor Steve Easom seconded to continue the agenda item to the next meeting pending further details; the motion passed unanimously.
No date, cost estimate, instructor, or target audience size for the community training was recorded in the minutes; board members requested additional details before scheduling the public offering.
