Wireless headset

Hi Gang,

 

There was some confusion with Day Wireless over the repair of the wireless headset on 2522.  They will be down sometime in the next week to repair the connection in the engine.  They sent two AC adapters directly to us by mistake.  The adapters are cut down and used for a 12 volt connection in 2522.  The adaptors are located in the Lt office when Day comes looking for them.  The extra will be kept as a spare.  They will be adding a reinforcing wire and encasing the cable in heat shrink material in an effort to prevent this from happening over and over again.  In the future please ask everyone to pull on the connector and not on the wire itself.  This is over a $100 repair for each occurrence not to mention the hassle involved.  Thank you.

RE:

Thanks Wade…..very much appreciated, and very timely.  I promised Chief Olheiser I would assist him with teaching an EMR class again this spring.  My first evening will be tomorrow night (3/7/13) at 1900 to 2200 in our training room.  I PROMISE to make sure the on-duty folks are not interrupted by the students as best as I can. I will be here early to let them in and will make sure they understand this is the shift personnel’s “home away from home.”

We have made signs when we have classes in the station. The idea is to put the sandwich board outside on the lawn by bay 1 to direct students to go through this door, then the door by the hose tower would be propped open and the a sign would be taped there to direct them down the hall by the chief’s offices, then the final sign would be taped toward the end of the hall to direct them to the training room. Right now the tape-up signs are in the lieutenants office in the “Lieutenant C Shift” drawer of the filing cabinet. The sandwich board is located by the bottom of the stairs leading to the loft above the weight room. I have in no means said this is how we should do it so if anybody wants it different that’s fine. Thanks

I have ordered the light bulbs that back light the switch panel for the emergency lights. They should be here Tuesday so I will get them replaced on Wednesday.

Hello All,

 

This morning during vehicle checks the hazmat suburban had a dead battery.  PW shops performed some tests and found everything to be in good shape.  The current draw when the vehicle is off is around 5 milliamps which Kevin said was very low.  Kevin D just wanted to remind us that after checking the vehicle’s emergency lights, we should run the vehicle above 1000 rpm for about 5 minutes in order to recharge the battery.
