A level 1 Haz-Mat was called for precaution. Crews were assisted by Midlothian, Palos Heights, Alsip and Posen. The cause if still under investigation.
Several other items of interest going on at the Fire Department are as follows:
1. Man power is still an issue on a daily basis with hopes of the contract helping with that.
2. The department was having a serious record keeping issue with our current entry medical vendor. Division Chief Krupa has been tasked with exploring different vendors to administer our entry physicals
3. In response to the fatalities due to carbon monoxide poisoning, it is important for all homes to have a carbon monoxide detector on all levels of their home.
4. Department members have been working on several small projects around the firehouse to update facilities and living quarters. None of these projects have been costly and a big thank you for all those that assisted on their time off to get this done. The department is too busy to do any of this on shift.
5. DVC Jurka will be flying out to New York for the final inspection on the new rescue vehicle in mid-April. The final inspections for the two new pumpers will take place hopefully in Mid-May. The department is hoping to have the vehicles in service by June, 2022 baring any further delays. Hoping to have an “in service” ceremony sometime over the summer.
As always, stay safe, and stay healthy. Chief of Department, Jonathan Newton
