Marz Harold Mueller, Bruce Hastie and Lawrence Hogg Roy Enzie, Gary Adam and Ken Wohl from the Trochu Fire Department Ken Giesbretch and John Gavin from the Carbon Fire Department Lyle Regehr and Darwin Moon from the Linden Fire Department Garnet Bauer from the Torrington Fire Department Reeve Hoff called the meeting to order and thanked everyone for taking time to come to the meeting Carbon Department reported have budgeted for a major repair to the fire truck pump this year about $1500.00 Truck was purchased in 1978 but no other major problems as yet They have practices twice a month and a membership of about 21 Feel their membership is about half rural and half urban Trochu reported have no real problems with trucks or equipment have a membership of about 21, which is down a little from previous year, and is likely about half rural and half urban Linden noted their membership is presently mostly all rural. and they have about 20 members They have no major problems but did have a little problem with the freeze placed by the M D on purchase of equipment for a period of five years after buying the new truck However they will live with it as they feel they have their equipment nearly back up to standards However they do have a problem with their pagers Too much money is being spent on repairs and would like to budget for replacement of the pagers - say 3 a year until the older ones have been replaced. Would also like to look at purchase of a monitoring type of pager to improve communication at the fire scene, and these types would cost about $600 00 each. Also planning to add a small type of heater as their guages froze up during the extreme cold weather. There was discussion regarding the recent house fire in the Linden area Linden reported they are setting up a roledex fire index which will provide information about locations, directions to same and names of people in their fire area and they may do something similar for oil well sites There was discussion about provision of fire protection at the various well sites and plants in the area and the survey done by the M.D. of all the oil companies Some companies want protection, some do not, some want their staff on hand before any fire fighter goes on the site, and some want the departments to provide some assistance Copies of all the letters received were forwarded to the departments and it will be necessary for the departments to make up some type of index so this information is readily available to the departments in the event of oil field fires It was suggested the departments might consider contacting the various companies to discuss the matter with them directly Carbon asked if Council had thought about installation of a central dispatch number for all fire departments Torrington reported they have about 16 regular members on their department, mostly all rural, and at this time have no real problems. 1 ANNUAL JOINT MEETING WITH FIRE DEPARTMENTS- FEBRUARY 14TH. 1989 There was brief discussion regarding the Master Planning Study and the fact the M D does not wish to proceed with it at this time. Linden indicated they would like to proceed because Alberta Disaster Services would fund a total communication package if the area had goine through the master planning exercise There was discussion about the communiciation system, the number of frequencies used by the M D and the fire department and ambulance already Torrington felt it was a good idea but do not have the time to spend on it Council discussed with the departments the suggestion made by the Town of Three Hills that the town take over operation of the department and bill the M D for provision of fire protection on a per call basis. At this time the M D council is having its equipment evaluated and will be discussing the matter further with the Town but are not sure this is the way they would like to go It would leave the M.D. in a rather vunerable position in future years with no way of controlling costs Council wished to know if the other departments would have any problems with having their fire protection areas increased should the M.D. decide to make the Three Hills area smaller or eliminate it altogether There was lengthy discussion regarding this matter, the existing fire boundaries were reviewed, and subject to some items, such as how far the boundaries would be extended response time, etc , which would have to be reviewed and sorted out, none of the departments could see any problems with expansion of their areas It was noted perhaps the people around Three Hills may have a problem with not having the Three Hills Department providing service for them - i e response time involved The departments handed in their budgets and annual reports Reeve Hoff thanked everyone for coming and the meeting adjourned s Jean Assistant Administrator F ll Cn 00 ct MEMEMEM-0 F7 rn H d d O H H d H W U O U W W 00 �7 H W W W O H U H OL H rA H Q r, a.
