We need larger life jackets for ice rescue. We need firefighters to help with an ice rescue demonstration next Thursday at the school between 3:30 and 5:30 pm during snowmobile safety classes. Chief Rudek reminded us we cannot transfer any patients using the snowmobile(at the Breezy station), unless it is approved by North Ambulance personnel. Anyone driving the snowmobile must wear a helmet. There is a helmet available at the station. Safety Bob has passed his first responder test. Congratulations Bob. We thank Bill for his recent donation for the hose rack at the Breezy station. The Chief wants to move the 95 pump truck to the Breezy station. It has a pump heater and NFPA codes says a front line pump needs to 1991, or newer. Bill motioned to move the 1995 pump to Breezy and the 1975 pump back to Pequot. The motion was seconded by Kirk Larson. Dan opposed the idea and states we need an SOP and a plan of who and what goes where. Neil agreed with Dan about his idea to take two pumps to a scene, as long as we meet state guidelines. Bill and Kirk retracted their motions Safety Bob thought we should have a hurst tool at Breezy, and several fire fighters agreed. The Chief asked if the group wants him to be a tie breaker in case of a tie during officer elections. Dan reminded us that the by-laws call for a coin toss to break ties.
