Chief Eggert stated he also was encouraging masks on calls due to recent COVID numbers. Chief Eggert reported that on a recent call to Sunny Waters Mobile Home park the radios were losing service to the station, but he thought it was more of a programming issue. Chief Eggert stated he hoped Norcom could resolve the problem without any issues. Chief Eggert stated that E-Dispatch had worked well for Occum but the digital system would not work as well, so their members would use IM responding and then work to dispatch to hopefully integrate and push calls out that way. Chief Eggert stated the system would allow Occum to tie into neighboring departments, so if a call went out that their department was assigned to for mutual aid they would receive a call prior to dispatch. 5. East Great Plain: Chief Keith Milton reported that weekly training continued and OSHA returned for a second list a few weeks prior where they provided a list of things to work on. Chief Milton stated that hose testing was done in early November and some failures occurred, so there would be items included in the upcoming budget.
