D opportunity to train some marind folks from the navy and it was enlightening to find out in the initial meeting, some of those s that back in 2011 with this tra, they were able to use it at they earthquake when they responded Haiti Earthquake when they respd there.

Ass station goes, some of the updat, station 31 generator will be thy december of this year. They just poured the pad for it, and itsg along well. Some of them were ne and we had to remove some with e exception of station 15s towerh has become a historical part ofe building and they wanted to keet there for the neighborhood. So s the only one that is staying. Be others will be removed because y are not safe. A lot of work hasn done by chief parks, our health, safety and wellness chief. Lastk and thanks to the foundation frm commissioner veronese we have al class peer support training. Ita wait list of folks. Maybe we cao more in the future. It was well attended and well received infon that was given. Ill share somee graphs as we are starting to ane the injuries that the members ae suffering and what we can do wi that. Gathering data to make a e for a more robust unit. Some ofe data we are gathering, primary m we have is sprains and strains. E dial down to that. And of course of the main causes of the spraid strains are apparatus, getting e apparatus off and on so how cano that. So we are looking at implementing Training Programs d videos to show the members the r technique, three point techniquf getting off apparatus. So now te have started to analyze the injs we can put progress in place and training in place to hopefully e that. The top injuries, the most common injury we have is lower k injury. So we are going to implt some of the techniques for lift. Thats one of the things that cs injuries. So how can we use pror technique, using the legs. So wn come up with a program for thato thats what chief parks is workn with us. We also have a health. We are working together with the doctors office. We had the hea the flu shots, we have nutrition information, we have enrollmentr that. We are going to bring thak next year in addition to we areg to work with the foundation, sof the tests they are doing. We arg to bring Blood Pressure testing, diabetes testing, so a comprehee test we can provide our membersr that health fair. And we do sevl days of that. So thats good pr. And chief parks has done really. Some of the Community Events the department is involved in, one e ones that has been successful ie ems program at mission school. Y visited the airport, they visite tower. Its really well receives really like it. We are hoping wn continue to that and expanding o other schools as well too. We ad recently the nowhere cal fire g nor cal fire girls camp. It wast to see them learning how to be a firefighter. We had a lot of stf from our department and from departments all across the areao help. It was an incredible expee to see the enthusiasm. Recruitig office has been busy. Usf, we wo a camp in sacramento, recruiting folks. Members of the department talked to folks, possible candis coming in and learning about thb and just hearing from them whatt takes to be a firefighter. So ae chief mentioned, the anniversars good to see. To finish my repori want to thank all of you who cao the police and fire mass. It wal attended. It was great to show r appreciation for the many yearsf service to the Fire Department. T concludes my report. Thank you. D happy to answer any questions. Thank you very much, chief vt this point well ask for Public Comment on chief velos present. Any member of the public wisheso give Public Comment . Seeing non, Public Comment is closed. Commie never knees. Thank you, Vice President. Cu pull up the chart that had the e chart . Is that possible to get . And while you find it, have we r done that before . Have we done s analysis in the past . Or is thie first time we are doing this . Not that i know of. Its incredible. Its great u guys are doing this. Because i e the fact that we are gathering o figure out what the problems aru probably saw this coming but onf the injuries i dont see on thet i think is important is posttrc stress injury. And that, im cus as to, if its possible in the e to see a chart like this that tt drills into the type of things t cause that or the types of incis that the Fire Department respono that are triggering that type of injury. And i think that will ts a lot about how we react or howe stress unit should react to cern calls. I know its probably goio be obvious. Its going to be chn dying, its going to be stuff le that. But i think its worth dig into. And im sure that data is probably out there already but d be curious to see if the same ss happening in San Francisco. One of the things we are dois asking the unit and now they hao a person in the unit gathering s information. We talked about ths before. The member reporting pta Injury Report is rare. But how y times is the stress unit helpine folks out there. And thats thea we want to make sure we get. Ano anonymous, no names, but actualw many times this or that person,h of time, types of injuries, caud effect of particular events. Wen event on monday where two infans died, eight months old. So we wo see what the effects are for ths at station 19 that went to thats hard for members to report thata Injury Report. Yeah. But we can get data from thes unit. So all of our process wit. We are asking them to provide td track that information for us se can have an idea of what we areg and who are they helping, what e issues coming up. And again, no, just facts, like you said. Great. Thats great. Thank y, chief. I appreciate that. Sure. Thank you very much, commissr veronese. Commissioner clevelan, please. Thank you, mr. President. I d like to echo commissioner verons comments regarding the trainingr people in terms of what are the injuries out there and how are y being injured. The more informae gather and the more data we have better prepared we are to instrt them on whatno what not to do. D to add ptsd as a type of injuryr members get. I would like to cod you for setting up with i assume lieutenant baxters health fairi think thats incredibly importar our members. I appreciate the sn visits that you and the chief ae doing and the other brass, reacg out to the rankandfile on a rr basis just means a lot to them,e than you probably realize yoursi appreciate it personally as commissioner. And one question,u talked about the mission high sl ems program. What would it taked a high school, another high schn town to ems Training Program . So whats happening right noa pilot program. So we are going we need to see sort of the succf that. And this is just one clase topic that they are working on s semester, next semester is anotr more emsinvolved. So this is te pilot school. Okay. I didnt realize it waa pilot. Sorry. So we really need to sort ofe how that works. But there is n there is certainly willingness m the School District and from ciy college. So well just have to n the future. I think its terrific. So thk you. Thank you, chief, for your report. Thank you very much, commissr cleveland. Commissioner hardema. Thank you thank you. Hells it on . Doesnt sound like its. Thank you, president nakajo. As, these are great reports.
