District announces deputy chief selection; upgrades to monitors and extrication tools underway
Summary
The district announced the selection of Edward Riesgo as deputy chief and detailed equipment updates including LifePak 35 monitors arriving to replace LifePak 15 units, additional extrication tools funded by a GOHS grant, and an ambulance delivery schedule beginning around Jan. 1.
The district packet and chief's report note that Battalion Chief Edward Riesgo has been selected as Deputy Chief; internal recruitment for vacant battalion chief positions remains open with the deputy-chief recruitment closing Oct. 1. The memo records that the LifePak 35 monitor arrived in the district on Sept. 16 and staff training and in‑service work are scheduled; the packet also lists a plan to exchange older LifePak 15 units for LifePak 35 units in a one‑for‑one exchange.
Equipment grants include a GOHS award for two Genesis battery-powered extrication tools and a Gaming Revenue grant that will support replacing four thermal-imaging units. The memo states the district has three ambulances in the procurement queue, with the next expected delivery around Jan. 1 and further deliveries thereafter.
