2541

 

2541 has had the master stream nozzle replaced and the driver seat replaced. The nozzle has an override lever for the pattern change. I have attached a picture showing how to use it. This override is in case the electric motor won’t change the pattern. Please take a look at both the seat and nozzle to get familiar with them. Thanks

Hazmat vehicles

On Monday July 9th the hazmat vehicles will be parked in the public works yard. The International/35' trailer will be backed up against the fence on the north side of the shops building with 2 cords running through the louvers of the generator room. These will be plugged in to the trailer. All doors on the trailers will be padlocked. In the 35' trailer the switches marked OFFICE/HVAC and CARGO AREA HEATERS need to be turned on. The thermostat above the switch panel needs to placed in AUX HEAT mode and set to 60. The thermostat by the refrigerator also needs to be set to 60. Be sure to do vehicle checks everyday, lock it up and leave the keys in the Lt's office, thanks,

Epinephrine 1:10,000 on back order

Hello All,

 

  I just wanted to let everyone know currently there seems to be a back order of Epinephrine 1:10,000 across the nation.  Of our three EMS supply vendors none have any stock on Epinephrine 1:10,000, the manufactures seem to be having a problem.  I am working to get some from Medix ambulance service, but our last EMS supply order was shorted.  If you end up using any on a call please obtain reimbursement from Medix ASAP.  Thank you Aaron Bielemeier

2523 and Honda 1000 watt generator

The 1000 watt Honda generator has been added to 2523.  DC Straily was looking to round up some lighting and cords to compliment it.  This idea had been floated some time ago and apparently came up during the ISO review.  As we move into next year’s budget we will look more closely at the portable lighting situation.  Thank you.
