Chief: ISO evaluation underway; brief incident updates given
Summary
Chief Douglas Chappell told the board the district's Insurance Services Office evaluation — the first since 2017 — will be completed by Jan. 14, 2025; he also answered board questions that the Holliday house fire began at 3:00 a.m. and explained what a dissecting aorta is.
Chief Douglas Chappell reported that the Drexel Heights Fire District is completing an Insurance Services Office (ISO) evaluation, the district's first since 2017, and said the evaluation "will be complete by January 14, 2025." The ISO rating can affect insurance classifications and community fire-protection ratings.
During the chief's report Board Member Laura Dailey asked about the start time of a house fire on Holliday that occurred on Thanksgiving night; Chief Chappell replied, "3:00 a.m." Dailey then asked what a dissecting aorta was, and Chief Chappell explained it is an aneurysm in the artery that can begin to dissect on its own. The minutes record these exchanges but do not include additional operational or investigative details about the incidents.
