Captain Lawton discussed the mutual aid calls in detail. Captain Lawton reported critical needs as the replacement of Engine 41 as it was out in January for two days due to a rusted pipe and electrical work. Captain Lawton noted that Engine 42 was still holding strong. Captain Lawton reported 35 active members for Occum, 22 of which were at Firefighter 1 level with various qualifications. Captain Lawton stated the new firehouse sign was postponed due to the weather and that the new doors should be in that month along with the key FOB system. Captain Lawton reported Occum was receiving quotes for the floor work, which should begin in the next few months, and they were expecting a new washer in the next few days. Captain Lawton stated the firehouse was also looking into quotes for station electrical upgrades and work on the upstairs, as there was a chance of asbestos being in that area.

Yantic: Chief Bill Eyeberse reported 54 calls including 7 motor vehicle accidents, 21 medical calls and increased overdose calls. Chief Eyeberse noted that some calls that Yantic attended were regarding assisting American Ambulance in returning patients to their residence which he did not feel constituted an emergency or was a responsibility of volunteer fire departments. Chief Eyeberse discussed various ongoing training. Chief Eyeberse stated the department had relaxed COVID guidelines but members were still required to wear masks when dealing with the public. Chief Eyeberse stated PPE supplies were good and that member vaccination was still in the high seventy percent. Chief Eyeberse stated after the significant snow storm in early February water ended up in the furnace tank resulting in issues. Chief Eyeberse stated at budget time having Yantic tap into the natural gas lines should be considered but until then the underground storage tank needed removal as it was beyond its life expectancy. Chief Eyeberse discussed Yantic’s support of State Senate Bill 43 which dealt with annual appropriations for all regional fire schools who are grant funded through the state. Chief Eyeberse noted when the fire schools are not properly funded it causes a trickle down effect in local budgets. Chief Eyeberse stated that Yantic would be hosting the State Firefighter Convention September 17th, which would be a business-style meeting held at Kelly Middle School followed by a dinner held at the firehouse. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if the underground oil tank still provided oil. Chief Eyeberse responded that it did and the water was due to the tank cap not being put on properly following the last fill, not a tank failure. 5. Taftville: Chief Timothy Jencks reported 52 calls for the month, 27 of which were EMS and 25 fire related calls. Chief Jencks reported that no members were currently out with COVID and membership vaccination was at 95 percent. Chief Jencks stated the station was open on a limited basis and would potentially fully open for outside agencies on April 1st.

Chief Jencks several smaller projects had been completed in-house and noted the need for the firehouse parking lot work. 6. Norwich: Chief Tracy Montoya reported two significant motor vehicle accidents last month including a rollover on East Main Street. Chief Montoya stated Norwich also assisted in the heavily involved structure fire at 78 School Street the prior evening, which had displaced 14 residents between two buildings. Chief Montoya reported that Truck 2 failed its pump test at the last round and he had been consulting with fleet maintenance if the 1995 aerial device with a pump was worth rebuilding. Chief Montoya stated in his 27 years it seemed the only time the pump was put in use was during training exercises. Chief Montoya stated the pump would be rendered unserviceable and he did not feel it was worth replacing to keep the pump certification. Chief Montoya reported their recruits were doing well in the firefighter academy and that the NFA battalion chief and captain job postings should be listed in the upcoming week. Chief Montoya discussed ongoing and upcoming training. Chief Montoya reported that facilities were open to the public and no members were currently out with COVID. Chief Montoya stated along with the meeting with the city manager the chiefs met with the radio vendors to finalize the list of apparatus and certain types of equipment.

Alderwoman Burto and Chief Montoya discussed staffing at the firehouse. VII. Other Items: Chief Montoya stated the Opioid Task Force was working to consolidate information to provide to human services for them to reach out where there is a need. Chief Montoya asked departments to share any information they had with Lieutenant Sites. Alderwoman Gould asked why the Public Safety meetings had not returned to the firehouses. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated the biggest reason was due to the firehouses not all having handicap accessibility and being that the Public Safety Committee was a subcommittee of city council, he felt Council Chambers were best to meet in for consistency. III. Public Safety items for future discussion: None. IX. Next Meeting: April 13, 2022. X. Adjournment: Upon a motion by Alderwoman Gould seconded by Alderwoman Burto, the meeting was adjourned at 7:56 PM. All voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Katherine Rose City Manager’s Report to Public Safety March 9, 2022 meeting I met with the Fire Chiefs three times over the past several weeks. In January I held a hybrid Chiefs meeting with some meeting in person and others joining via Turbobridge. Following that meeting we did another hybrid meeting in late January with American Ambulance. The Chiefs and I also met in person on February 15th. The Chiefs met on their own with radio project representatives. We followed up on previous discussions regarding American Ambulance, the citywide radio project, firefighter physicals, NFA program, ARP funded project ideas, SOP committee, storm response, dispatch concerns, Emergency Reporting, and other topics There were a few questions on the nature of calls that the FDs have been sent to which prompted the additional meeting with American Ambulance. We revisited issues that were raised when we met with American back in November, acknowledging that some gains were made, but there is still more to do. The Chiefs will be meeting with American to review EMD procedures. The NFA fire program is on hold for now due to COVID and end of your schedules. Chief Eyberse will look to bring it back up in the future. The SOP committee continues to meet, and will report back to the Chiefs as they make progress. The ARP fund will be used to purchase Lucas Devices for all of the FDs that currently do not have one. Chief Montoya will follow up with Finance on the required forms. I asked the Chiefs to bring other potential ARP projects to the group. The radio project was discussed as a group, and also in separate meetings with Motorola and State reps. The vendor should have all they need to move forward with ordering components and accessories per the Chiefs input. The reporting software that the FDs use: Emergency Reporting, was sold to ESO. The Chiefs will be attending meetings with ESO to see how the migration from ER to ESO will proceed. One of their concerns is the ability to maintain historical data in ER when the move is made to ESO. There are a number of additional questions that they will pose to ESO during their upcoming meetings. The RFP for a citywide standard for Firefighter physicals was in final draft form. There were some challenges with the level of physical required for the different positions across the departments (interior firefighter, support personnel, etc). The purchasing agent is involved in the discussion and recommended starting the RFP with the standard for interior firefighter, then adjusting it for those that can get by with less requirements. The Chiefs shared successes and challenges with different providers, and also discussed physical fitness aspect of annual physicals. We discussed the recent winter storm response and specifically some issues that were raised during the February Public Safety meeting. We will include NPW in a future meeting to address some of the Chiefs’ concerns. My next scheduled meeting with the Chiefs is March 15th. I won’t be able to attend this months meeting in person due to an unforeseen conflict, however I’ve provided a brief update from us below. Please forward as you see fit, and I’d be happy to answer any questions from the committee via email. ● We are currently not experiencing any COVID-19 impacts to staffing, and our clinical staff who are eligible are 100% vaccinated and boosted. Our PPE supplies are strong. ● American Ambulance responded to 690 emergency calls in the city over the course of the month of February. Of those, 220 of them were Advanced Life Support and 470 were Basic Life Support. ● American has been in discussions with the Fire service regarding a review of the EMD system in the city, and meetings are being scheduled. ● We are continuing to recruit and train additional EMS providers and are accepting applications for our second round of CERA (Community First Responder Academy) which pays people to attend and accelerated EMT course and then guarantees employment with our agency upon successful completion of the class for those accepted into the program. We encourage local residents looking for a career change to apply and preference is given to those applicants that live in our service area, including Norwich. Those interested in applying can find more information on our website americanamb.com. The next class starts next month. Respectfully, Rob Robert J.

Our next scheduled meeting with the City Manager is 15MAR. - There will be an upcoming meeting with American Ambulance and the FDs regarding EMD review. EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch) protocol is the coding system that determines which type of medical calls will receive a Fire response. As Chiefs have brought up in the past, there is a sense that some calls for service may not necessarily meet FD response requirements. On the flip side of that, there are calls that don’t get an FD response, that we feel one was warranted. Bottom line, there is a need to address the consistent application of appropriate protocol to get the services to those in need.
