Knox box key

Hello everyone,
Earlier today I broke the Knox box key that was on 2522. We moved the knox key from 2541 and placed it on 2522.

Until further notice there is no KNOX key on 2541. The city master, and supra key are still available for use.

The broken key has been given to Deputy Chief Gascoigne for replacement.

Thanks
Rob

Equipment changes to 2523

Hello All,

 

Please see the pictures below which display the changes made yesterday by C-shift.

 

The red fuel can was added to the right rear compartment.

 

 

 

 

The blue tarps were moved under the life jackets and the hotel pack moved to the center of the lower compartment.

 

 

 

 

 

The airbags were moved to the top shelf and the power saws were moved to the center shelf with the addition of a new Stihl MS460 Rescue saw.

 

 

In addition the small suction hose was added to the top of the pump box area.  Thanks Aaron Bielemeier

Wireless Firecom

I guess most people know this already but the Firecom wireless headset on 2522 is not working. It doesn’t seem to charge or turn on. It is getting power. I have taken it off 2522 since leaving it on the vehicle gives one a sense of it working. I left it in the Lt.’s office until someone decides what to do with it.

Air Test Results

Team AFD,

 

You can now find the Air Quality test results in two locations!!  There is a digital copy located on the network (T:\SCBA\Air Test Results\Scott Mobile Unit).  There is also a good old fashioned hard copy posted next to air trailer itself. 

 

 

·         I have ordered 4 double donut straps for our hotel packs. 2541, 2522, 2523 all have this strap on the packs. Please familiarize yourself with this and how they go on.

·         Lets try and not put wet hose back on the vehicles. We have gotten away from it because we thought it didn’t matter. Our shift just tested 2523 not that long ago and the hose for the hotel pack was molding already.
