Fire department reports Station 4 security upgrades and staffing progress
Summary
Frankfort’s fire department reported work on Station 4 low-voltage security and coordination with police for monitoring access; cameras, keyless entries and training for hazmat technicians were discussed and a lieutenant hire is pending medical clearance.
The fire department updated the board on security and staffing initiatives at Station 4, describing a low-voltage security system under consideration and a desire to provide police department access for ongoing monitoring.
"We are trying to work with, you know, someone who's already working with the police department... so that way, we have somebody who can monitor it a little bit for us over time," the fire department representative said, adding that cameras and keyless entries will be moved and installed in locations such as evidence storage to limit access. The department also reported classes in week two and expected additional hazmat technicians in training. A pending hire for a lieutenant vacancy is awaiting Public Safety Medical clearance and will be brought to the board for approval once clearance is returned.
Board members heard the update and did not take further action at the meeting.
