Society is requiring more from fire departments today, including fire protection, fire prevention, rescue units and medical assistance. Fire departments are being forced to react due to changes in technology such as materials which burn differently and the size of new buildings Fire Departments traditionally re -acted to a situation after the fact instead of prior to the event happening Master Planning enables fire protection to be defined, directed and controlled A fire protection system can involve fire suppression, fire prevention, public education, public inspections, basic life support and highway rescues. Each council must look at their own area and determine what direction they wish their department to take, and what problems need to be resolved One problem in this area appears to be a need to improve communications between the departments Other problems may be not enough inspections being done or excess response time for a particular area in the M D Causes could be lack of funds and lack of a communiciation channel strictly for emergency use. It must be determined what the problems are, what �j are the causes and what are the possible solutions Then the Councils must determine what is the best of the possible `y solutions, and what action will be taken to implement the best solution. The following organizations can be included in a fire protection system - Fire Departments, R C M P , Municipal Councils, Medical 1 fl >� --m i ANNUAL MEETING M.D. OF KNEEHILL NUMBER 48 COUNCIL, URBAN COUNCILS AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS (Ambulance and Hospitals) Schools, Utility Companies, Alberta Disaster Services, Building Inspectors Public Works Departments, Water Departments, Rescue Squads Planning Commissions, and the local citizens or Master Planning could look at the overall cost of fire protection for the entire area, it could recommend a by -law which would limit height of buildings so existing fire equipment could handle fires, could develop cost sharing for purchase of equipment with developers Alot of areas react to problems instead of planning to avoid problems Master Planning provides an organized approach It can - define the current and future fire protection environment such as providing everyone with equivalent fire protection, define accepted life and property risk levels - what is a municipality prepared to accept in the way of equipment and water supply etc, arrange to have mutual aid agreements in place, and make the public aware of the limits of the level of fire protection which is being provided A master plan can also define the fire protection system. What is included in the system - will it include ambulance services, will it include building inspections, identify and justify the resources necessary, provide a detailed program of action. The �-- plan must be in writing and kept up -dated A master plan will give you a frame work to work within for provision of fire protection for the entire area Each jurisdication was given a copy of the booklet Master Planning for Fire Protection It was noted there are valid reasons for master planning - to identify costs, reduce costs, increase fire protection for same cost and justify improved level of service. The process is only as involved as you wish to make it. You can deal with concerns at a municipal level only, or up to a Federal level if you wish Master Planning permits control by recognization instead of reaction to undefined problems, permits control of fire situation costs, and increases life safety. It also increases citizen awareness and participation which results in increased understanding and acceptance Mr McEvoy then reviewed the basic steps for master planning as contained in the booklet. He suggested a master plan committee in this area should include the six towns and villages, the M.D., the Palliser Regional Planning Commission, and representatives from a local industry The committee should not include a fire chief or fireman These people would be used to provide techincal information for the report if the master plan is proceeded with, but should not be a member on the planning committee It would also be necessary to have a finance committee to determine how the system would be financed - such as a review to standarized equipment for all departments He noted there will likely be problems because there are so many jurisdications iinvolved, and there will be a cost involved in doing the master plan and you must decide how the costs will be shared Problems which should be addressed include financing, expenditures, mutual aid, response time for all areas, location of and determining whether fire protection can be provided by fire departments for industrial uses There was discussion about provision of and gas wells, battery sites and plants companies have their own fire protection the costs which would be incurred by the fire protection. 2 fire protection for oil in this area, whether the established and if not M.D. to provide adequate ANNUAL MEETING M D OF KNEEHILL NUMBER 48 COUNCIL, URBAN COUNCILS AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS There was discussion as to whether the fire departments feel Master Planning should be undertaken. It was noted each area has different needs and Mr McEvoy noted a master plan could address all the different concerns He also noted after completing the master plan the decision might be not to change the way the departments are presently run, or to change it totally He noted there is a 12 hour instruction course available for the committee members should the municipalities decide to proceed with a master plan. The course would provide all the information and material and set out guidelines for doing the master plan He also noted there is no direct financing available from Alberta Fire Prevention Branch for such a study It was noted a master plan would be a definite advantage for the present councils as well as for future councils There was discussion about a recent radio problem which occured between two fire departments and both departments involved noted they have addressed the problem within their own department. It was also agreed the M D would have to review the expectations oil and gas companies have for the M.D. to provide fire protection for their installations • There was also discussion about establishment of a 911 number for the entire M.D, and it was noted the Province had looked into having a 911 number for the entire provice but shelved it because of costs However they are looking at the possibility again. It was noted A G T may start charging more for emergency fire phones and it perhaps would be a benefit for the local area to establish their own 911 number syhstem. • Mr. Marz thanked Mr. McEvoy and the other representatives from Fire Prevention Branch for giving the presentation and Mr Boake moved the meeting do now adjourned CARRIED Time 4 30 P M --------------------------------- Mrs Jean Wilkinson, Recording Secretary 3
