Hello All,

LED Scene light

The new LED scene light is in the Lieutenant’s office.  Take a few minutes and familiarize yourself with its operation.  Lt. Johnson will be in charge of making sure that it is marked as AFD property and properly inventoried.  Not sure where its’ eventual home will be but we will find a place on 2522 for now.  After DC Straily returns from vacation there will be further conversation.

Lt. Gascoigne

10" step ladders

We have a new 10’ fiberglass step ladder at Station 2.   Another should arrive for headquarters later this week.   These are Class 1 and rated at 375 pounds.  They should last us for many years.  This is a good size ladder for working on various projects inside the apparatus bay and outside of the station.  As with all step ladders please pay attention to the maximum working height and safety warnings.    In the past we have had a tendency to use fire service attic and extension ladders for general use around the station.  Please consider the task at hand and choose a safe and appropriate ladder.  Our workers comp carrier has a ladder safety video available if anyone would like training on them.  Thank you.
