Thank you archive youre Fire Prevention investigation, training within the department, and Airport Division. Good morning president nakajo and Vice President morgan and commissioner fraser and City Attorney and this is chief operations, deputy chief darius luttropp. For september report. I do have a slide. For the report this month nothing out of ordinary for a total call 0 volume boxes total 124 one less than one last month the greater alarm an adMission Street the second alarm with the commander chief rabbit in attendance if you have any questions for him the alarm struck 8 minutes after midnight on this fire and one injury. It was initially reported and intersection of 26 and the fire on the alleyway you see it they initiating conducted operations in the rear building and found it was incidentally pillaging own the siding so when rescue two arrived on scene tasks with moving to the front of the building and determined the street address of this and decision three took control and began fire hydrant operations and it is 2975 mission a twostory building and the exposure for 2969. They led multiplegenerational lines with a 2 1 2 line to force before on the mission side and experience as a hoarding conditions and the building was under construction two it fires difficult to fight and control. So basically three quirks heavily involved exterior fire. What buildings were entered they found hoarding. A fact a second alarm was struck as the second alarm was struck though encountered a civilian and provided medical aid on the scene of the fire. The fire was resolving we had a vehicle drive through the scene and theyre inly missing some members he was apprehended on the scene so the challenges for the commander what about were the three i listed as well as being a common problem for us in sour fire operations not necessarily understanding the extent of the fire from the report; right . So reported of the rear initially and the back of the rear and had at the address it on the front side a well coordinated event and it was resolved quickly with one injury. The commander control required here just with chief rabbit and yep this was our report of a greater alarm and i had the second alarm was the sneak attack chief rabbits fire on 26 three 4 shore on the sheet on 91 not listed as a second alarm i discussed last meeting that is because you can see where chief is parked the daily side is right there so many ways a similar fire a heavy vacuum mostly exterior fire impinth so they coordinated it quickly to see the entrance to the building pa was remote from this 0 location on bay shore and she remember operating received they noticed were not the only fire units on the scene and units from daily city preliminarily and were on scene. This led to having to establish what we call. Unified ad hoc and san ma they overcame the initial issues and divided the fire and allowed one unit to address the building that was actually still inside of the city limits of San Francisco and also resolved with the minimal fanfare no injuries but Lessons Learned as promised at the last meeting it brings up the idea of mutual aid a typical response for a board to border of the city across the jurisdictional boundary will have automatic aid we dont have an agreement with the municipalities necessarily what happened is literally the next address was daily city they had a report of a fire in neither jurisdiction. What is required for success in a mutual aid finding of the operations mutual communications we have and after this item our radios do it and we have a process under chief darcy as radio and continued we didnt have the capability to speak to the units so we have a common tool in the tool box of all our units that operate on the border and carry tools that allows us to operate across jurisdictional boundary no hindrances in the operations tighten up our communications. We dont have necessarily a another aid is immediate need request from another county ill got to one six those in a moment set up there the master mutual aid agreement for the ability to respond across boundaries and then i want to add for that week it was fleet week. So in the month of august an example of an immediate request if the city of oakland. There are now a number of 50 but the queen of the fire is saint france and requested the ability to apply for 1,000 gallons of water to the large debris fire and there for hours and needed assistance to the port and city of oakland in reducing the cage that that fire caused it is example of an immediate need and next is the 5. 11 box a unit or a strict team we are able to assembly no notice at the training under the leadership of our battalion to respond to the immediate area this has happened with frequency over the years and we maintain our ladyness and training we can respond in that way. Last month we deployed on the request through the aid agreement for the context and other fires in north part of state where 240e had wild interface fires i see, you know. This has been presented in the past part of this that would be trying a buildout as an agency the use of single resources not just the strike Team Requirement and the is only resources under the leadership of our mutual aid chief backer and brown and Management Team. And then attempt to develop the Management Team three so we get can provide a fraction for the city but you multiple names the National Resources fraction but this is a National System of mutual aid we are participants in this National System for the California Task force three and had dog hrnld like chief miller and his chief and in the past couple of years had membership in other portions of this task force so San Francisco is interacting and hoping see the greater level training and this brought back to the city. They then this week fleet week brings us to the kieven authorities or dispatcher for fleet week we are familiar with a lot of the like you see our training with sale loser and me and my taking a ride on the helicopter were familiar with those activities but in the background of this is the actual work of developing the ability between the military and the kieven authority and chief canyon is the picture on the right is patching the radios the military radios into civilian so with that fleet week and the operation we were able to achieve air to ground communication where navy and mandrin helicopter able to patch the radios in a way that allows us to speak across the city to each other and as i it was no mean feet took a year of planning and technology, and choices to get us to this place but San Francisco and this week supportive d is the first time the military is able to achieve this is a great, great victory for the San FranciscoFire Department and the navy will take this process and operationalize it as they plan for the scientific authorities he terrific it is what it is on the slides and we move to the bureau fire preservation this the our openhouse week. And chief will present on an initiative has for a plan general order and an ordinance mr. Get out to the public after operation is proponents but i want to thank the chief for being our point of fine communication for our streetscapes and our monitoring of prevention there the state various senate bills for assessorsy dwelling unit and little sprinkler items and doing a interruption job but look at his graphics as he had with the report. And with chief darcy always busy busy as usual and no included in the important meetings. Because the airport will be heavily impacted by this in november and hell provide more reports own that other than he continues to try to support our southeast port of San Francisco and training training training has training will offer us not only to his staff but the membership in the city which had been a great boom for us and kind of leading the way with a transition from traditional triple aid phone to a none intoxication version and the and his staff will travel to dallas and learn how to use that with the division chief is nearing the end of the Current Academy. The Current Academy the 1 3215853 we released to and have 14 recruits but graduated h2 level el rio your dive and another set of drills that outdoor was the experience was not driven by the Fire Department we conducted firefighters operation and responses to chemical and biological events on the water and a lot of us are in support of our aquatic and ems units assigned to the drill were wellreceived. This is also our lifting mode i cant tell for the year so and it will the this time memorialized and described to the field. And a few people attend many people that attendee chief was able to acquire donated structures and the training continues in the sunny dale Housing Housing show the like to continue this in october and i believe shes successful and this will come online as another documented structure you see pictures obviously the ship firefighters training that was conducted and again, chief canyons section i want to thank the efforts in radio in driving technology fixed we need to see with the Performance Vehicles and with the work that he put into d ca and the results will serve a Greater Service in the Firefighters Service in the years to come. Thank you for your comments, next call
