Jim from Coast Garage came by this afternoon to check on the issue with door 5. He believes that the beam unit itself is the problem. He is ordering parts and they should be in sometime next week. Meanwhile use caution when using door 5 as the beam unit does not work.

There are four new fiberglass pike poles on 2523. They are stored in the rear ladder compartment. They range in size from 12' - 4' and are stored longest to shortest (starting from the drivers side).
The training room remodel has been approved and will be moving forward. As part of process all of the filing cabinets and assorted junk from the hallway outside of the classroom has been moved. The file cabinets have been placed in the bay on the south wall near the exhaust system control box. The pagers that were on top of the cabinets have been relocated to the desktop immediately inside the Lt’s office. All of the books and folders that were stored on the cabinets were boxed up and are on top of the file cabinets in the bay. The bulletin board has been removed and the items from the board that were not old or time sensitive have been placed into a file for safe keeping. The mandated postings, such as all of the workers’ rights posters will be placed on a temporary board and placed elsewhere in the hallway.
As I get a better handle on the timeline for the remodel I will be asking other shifts to assist in portions of the work. The next step, hopefully accomplished on Friday, will be to dismantle the west wall of the classroom. We will be able to have a better picture of where we need to go next after seeing the plumbing and wiring situation. The training room is now considered “out of commission” and will not be booked out to other agencies. Please be patient with the construction mess, this will be the first of a long line of inconveniences with the upcoming seismic upgrade.
Thank you,
Lt. Gascoigne
The new mattress covers for all of the beds have arrived and have been installed. These are fully encapsulating, bed-bug proof, waterproof, covers that should do a much better job at protecting the mattresses. We are working on purchasing bed covers to try to keep these clean and in good condition during the day when the beds are unmade. Meanwhile please try to take extra care with the new mattress covers so as to not soil or trash them like the previous covers. Hopefully the new bed covers will be purchased in the next couple of weeks.
Interns who live at station #2. We took the new covers to station #2. Nobody was “home”, so we removed your bedding and installed the new covers. If you are wondering why your beds are no longer made, this is why. Sorry for the inconvenience, we wanted to get the new mattresses that were recently purchased and placed down there protected immediately.
