Fire & Rescue reports 12 April calls, YTD 37; training "Things That Go Boom" planned
Summary
St. Stephen Fire & Rescue reported 12 calls in April and 37 year‑to‑date, noted a structure fire on April 21 likely started by a power strip, and scheduled a HAZMAT‑oriented training called "Things That Go Boom."
Fire & Rescue reported 12 calls in April and 37 calls year‑to‑date during the council meeting May 6; four additional calls had occurred in May at the time of the meeting. The department recounted a structure fire on April 21 that resulted in a total loss for the house; the minutes say the fire appears to have been started by a power strip in the garage but that many items were salvaged.
The department’s training this month is to be provided by Customize Fire Training on a topic recorded in the minutes as "Things That Go Boom," which Councilmember Steve Trobec described as HAZMAT‑oriented. The minutes also recognized long‑serving volunteers: Ralph Barnhorst (53 years) and Al Vouk (54 years).
