Replacement Garbage Can for Station 2

I contacted Western Oregon Waste this morning to inquiry about the missing garbage can at station 2.  They will bring a replacement garbage can on Tuesday, April 17th.  Please let me know if they don’t drop off a new garbage can by Tuesday.

Door #5

To continue the door 5 saga, Coast was here again today. Fortunately, we caught him before he could slip away undetected.  He says it should be good to go now (while knocking on wood). He stated that he replaced the safety relay for the second time today, since the this last go around with this door. It appears to be working at this time. So please keep an eye on it just to make sure and report any issues no matter how small they may seem.

2541 rear spotlight.

We found a write up for the 2541 spotlight in the Lt's office this morning. I took it over to shops and Kevin said that it will get looked at possibly next week when 2541 goes over for service.

Bullard Eclipse TIC

Hey Team,

 

Last week we noticed one of the Bullard Eclipse TIC charging station was flashing between green and red.  We temporarily remedied the situation by switching cameras and batteries.  I have since learned that if the base station is flashing between green and red for longer then 15 minutes the battery is considered damaged and should be disposed of properly.  If anyone notices a charging station with this symptom please let me know and I will take care of this problem ASAP.

 

If you have any questions about this particular TIC in the future I have attached a good information sheet that you can reference. 

 

 

Hydrant Out of Service

RE: Door 5 sensor

After making a phone call to Coast Garage I discovered that they were here yesterday (B shift) and worked on replacing the sensor on door 5.  I spoke with the receptionist, Jim the repair tech was out of town.  She stated that he did move the sensor over from bay 4.  Not sure why we didn’t hear anything about this from B shift.

Today we found that door 5 is not opening or closing correctly.  It stops every couple of feet and takes multiple button presses to get it to either open or close all of the way.  I have talked with Coast Garage and it has been placed back on their schedule. 

When they come in PLEASE communicate is some manner that they have been in to work on the door.  Trying to guess whether these are continuing issues or new ones and whether or not any work has been done is not an efficient manner of doing business.

Elevator door key

Hello All,

Last evening we were called to the Elliot Hotel for an elevator emergency.  As we were leaving the scene the elevator repair technician had arrived to begin repairs.  I asked him a few questions regarding the elevator system and he was kind enough to issue Astoria Fire two new Elevator door keys.  The repair technician lives in Seaside Or and has a 24 hour contact number for emergencies.  For now we have put one new key on 2522 in the sprinkler tool pouch kit located in the cab and the other on 2541 located in the sprinkler box.  The elevator keys look very similar to others around in our city so it is nothing new or different, but you might want to take a glance just to have an image of the tool.  Thanks Aaron B
