Door five

Hello team, door five is acting up again, on a more regular basis. On further inspection we found that the little black power cord that runs down the left side of the door is fraying and is vibrating/heating up.

The breaker for door five has been turned to the off position to prevent any further damage. However the power to the cord is still active and should be considered hazardous.

We will follow up on Monday after the Christmas holiday. If you have any questions feel free to contact Lt. Corbit or myself.

Thanks and have a Merry Christmas

Zoll E-Series Defibrillator

Hello All,

  Yesterday the Zoll Rep was out to diagnose our issue regarding the black ECG lead cable on the E-Series defibrillator unit.  It was found to be a problem with the receiving plug on the defibrillator unit itself.  Zoll will be sending out a loaner unit while our unit is sent in for repair.  I will handle the switch out due to some programming that is required prior to us sending in our old unit.  Thanks Aaron B  

A/V equipment

The new A/V equipment has been purchased for the training room and is sitting at the front of the room.  Please do not attempt to install any of the equipment.  The TV will be installed as a wall hung unit but the wall needs to be reinforced first.  C shift will be working on this project.

 Thank you

 Lt. Gascoigne

The ladder testing was completed today by Diversified Inspections, Inc.  The technician said that the truck is in good condition but there are a few things that PW needs to work on (non critical).  The ladder shows some “walking” which means that the wear plates need adjustment or shimming.  He also recommended that cable tension should be looked at as well.  It was recommended to not use as much grease on the ladder and small amounts be applied and then actually wiped off so as to leave a “coat” rather than a “glob” which attracts grit or dirt. 

PW would like the truck in the shops on Thursday morning, 0800.

Lost Ring

Hey Team,

 

A Medix employee named Kevin Posalski called today and said that he lost a solid band ring on a call in Astoria on either the 15^th or 16^th of December.  He was wondering if anyone had possibly found his ring or if someone may have returned it to our station.  If anyone has any information about the lost ring you may contact Kevin via mobile phone at (909) 553-4507.

 

Thanks,

Just a reminder that the CAFS system now works as the replacement part was installed.

On 2522, DE Mathews did some research on the foam pro system.  It’s capable of producing 250gmp of foam solution at 1% and 85gpm at 3%.
