That mean that exit subway at china town had takes a stair case or escalator. Escalator goes down and they have emergency evacuation stairwells that come out and go to the street. Trap doors in the street emergency hatches from the inside you can open and up get out. There are elevators. There is in the a lot of combustible materialless in the stations. And the trains are not combustible. But as you remember in the 70s there was the transbay tube fire and an oakland worker was killed there is potential for a terrorist event in the under ground things that happened in japan. With the gas release. So there very little there is in the a lot of potential for a fire to occur. Unless there is debris on the tracks that could cause a problem. I derailment or accident that could cause a fire n. Station there are several mezzanine levels large electric ral rooms and yerba buena station thereof a fire in the electrical walls. This was under construction. And the electrical vault at Union Square Station miss in at 11,000 or 12,000 volts and then a giant room stepped down to 480 or 220 or the 600 volts dc where it is converted. There is a large electrical hazzard they have Protection Systems and a gas type system. Eliminates the oxygen to choke the fire out there it is potential there. And the challenge for us you cant pull a hose line and go down 10 floors have you to take equipment and go down we are used to pumping up not down. When you pump down you have head pressure that will give you more pressure at the outlet. Its different than anything else we deal with. Okay. I appreciate that. A bit more detail. It has been awhile and im trying to eventualize 14 floor in china town if i take that subway i want to know where i land in china town. Is it more specific. Where is that access. Where is that exit. Stockton and washington. And in terms of union square right up at union square . At geary and stockton. Okay. I appreciate it, chief. And are we operational can i take a ride not in service yet i think they are try to start Weekend Service in the next few weeks, they are still testing. Our team has been, i was down there with the chief at the time and 2 days ago and it literally i walk on the site and he knows the private contractorsness everyone by name they spent time knowing what is going of done a phenomenonal job. Okay. I appreciate tiwill Pay Attention to that. When you gave your description about the level im used to going this way. When you start doing this, i think, okay. And now as you described 14 floors below. Getting a visual, chief. Train come in from fourth and brannon. But has to dip down and go under powell street municipal and he bart and come back up. So it dips and rises and come in china town you go up the hill in china town you get the below grade t. Is impressive project. Okay. Is there some im going to ask straight up. Are there opportunity the commissioners could take a tour with the department to see what this thing looks like . Yea. Absolutely. I think once we get the soft opening and they get most of the construction stuff now it is a hard hat only area. But once they get the soft opening we can get you down and show you what we are up against. And primarily it is in terms of consideration of our members. I know and this is information as well to the commissioners, commissioner collins. The department has drills with bart drills. I know this. It is when the drills occur it is 3 and 4 a. M. Im talking to myself am i going to go down there. No, you dont. I and not after all the years i know that if wore at the 1906 earthquake or commemoration show up at 4 30 or 5. Bart thing i passed. I will Pay Attention and appreciate that. I will continue i will also ask the fire marshall and chief to respond to questions but i wanted let you know this this page 4 suppression specific october 22 report, is much appreciated. Because it answers all of the questions you give in detail and your verbals on the greater alarms and third and the difference with working fire and alarm is really clear. By the address. I wanted tell you how much i appreciate that and informative it is. At this point could i ask the fire marshall throughout chief a question, please . Im looking at page 9. And i held become on this question for a long time it is like do you want to ask this question. And it gets to a point i will want information. On the administrative clearing at the b. Page 9. And i saw 70 days. 42 days. Next page. 10ful 56 days. Had are you talking about a continuance of a violation to a decision. We say continuance our hearing process allows up to 30 days for somebody to come up with an action plan. Once they have one we go up to sick months to have it completed before do official action order to abate, vacate or recision. Instead of having the person keep coming in we tell them. They tell us we get this done in 45 or 50 days inform 70 days documentation it has been corrected well continue but without you coming in. If you failed to complete what was asked of them and ordto, bait will issue issued it is i lien on the property. Compliance by the Property Owner . Yes or busy. Basically what have in the framework and reach a that is successful. Aiming for compliance. That is 70 days the reason it is odd because our hearings are every 2 weeks and if you dot math 14 when they have a hearing it come down to. If they dont complete it at the hearing we will issue an order to abate. Okay. Thank you very much i appreciate it. Chief ficould ask questions. Good morning president feinstein and commissioners. Chief of Department Command staff [inaudible] director of training. Referring to page 26, which is recruit training but im going to ask questions that surround that. Recruit training. I know that the top of the meeting we talked about graduation next friday. And i believe we are talking about 44 out of 51. And what i wanted start asking about is that there has been a tremendous amount of movement this year 2022, im not going to see president a tremendous amount of boom the last 2 years. Curious how many members well,il take it back. How many memberos probation and how long does this last. What im looking for probation of one class to 2 class or does that teeter top off each other. One class graduated they are offered. And i want to hear had that number looks like. And off the top of your head. How many graduates f have we had and this may not be your part of it the other part i think it is i try to balance the community with members that retire. It does not have to be today can come up can you help me with that . Yes. I will address your question regarding the probation in the field we have 150 probationaries in the field that will be reduced. We have 128 finishing up their 1 year. 129th is move nothing their sick month and 130 in the field on november 18th. Okay. You got a number this terms how much graduated and just past 2022. 2022 we had 2 classes. We are close to 100. Okay does that run through 21 as well . Yes. Run 2 classes per year. The last 2 years graduated 200 member sns okay. In terms of probation this year . Yes. One year and if there is discrepancies whatever it is, what happens to the member during probation if there is i violation or some no abilities to perform duties probation is a year. They move sick monthses on an engine and on a truck. They are assigned an officer that mentors them and coaches and trains them for the 6 months and do month low reports on the probationaries. We review month low reports for discrepancies or issues with the probation easier and we perform sick mont testing and one year testing. During that 6 month or one year test figure we see deficiencies during probation. We will notify the officer and the chief special assistant chief on evolutions they need to improve of probation come back and retest and if during that retest there is still deficiencies we issue a notice to improve. And again communitying what the officer and chief on the things that need to be worked on and provide other resource more time at the tower detailing down to staff to assist with training and operating training on days off. Okay. Thank you for that. I appreciate that information and the protocol. Just one more question. At the graduations and the pictures there is always a really good idea in pictures photography in terms of the members. The students. Recrews. Looking for the right word what is the right word when you are in the department is it cadet not recruit. Right recruit or probationary firefighter. Okay. My curiosity for confirmation through graduation is there is a large Training Staff, i want to hear what the number of the Training Staff is and the assumption they are minimum lieutenant and captains . Is there something you can share . We have 12 training lieutenants and first. On graduation is beyond our suppression staff am you are seeing ems staff and in service staff. Okay. There is a difference, obviously by rank lieutenants and captains. Yes. One captain, that is the head of the academy has lieutenants and firefighters that work for him. The last question, i want to be able to get feedback with all of the graduations within the last 2 years i know that we take provide in our standards. And i wanted you to comment on that in terms of. It is a lot of pressure and work. Not only on the firefighters but staff. I wanted to hear comments in terms of that as a chief in training. Yea. We have a standard. Our staff is here for success and thats what we do. We are here to coach and train and look for vehicle. Not everyone is successful. It is unfortunate but we have a standard to uphold. Over 1 million in the city every week under our protection. And we take it seriously. Okay. I appreciate that. Thank you very much, chief postel and nicholson. Thank you. Im concluded. Thank you.

Im deputy chief of ems. This is my report for october. You like to go to the over head . Highlights we started our 2 knew rcs promoted to section chief one ems prescriptions and administration. We are looking forward to and have been looking forward to the 2 positions that are able to divide the work that the chief was gg doing as section chief of operations. They are get being their legs. Figuring out all tell is they will be responsible for and at it time they have a full work load. The khoa call volume in october we had 350 responses we went through to date. Per day. Which was 7 increase from a year ago. We see you know either stabilization and increases in callville um and that benefited by the people that we have hired the 60 additional. You in we have 260ftes dedicated to ambulance. Result of the increases we are able to add 4 additional shifts per day. Made a difference in the number of medic culls we had had. So this 70 reduction made a big difference per ambulance shift. Crews are getting relevel. We like them to have more but at this time it is a welcomed changech and improvement. We also are had interviewed for our next academy for next year level 1 and 2. Ambulance and paramedics. Giving recommendations to the chiefs in the next few days. On october 11th chief nicholson, myself and Section Chiefs participated in a town hall at station 49. It was virtual allowing us to get 120 of our members to participate in this conversation. And it was an opportunity for the chiefs to discuss the visions and things that are going on the next year or so. And also an opportunity for all our members to ask scombes inquire about what our plans and thoughts are about next academies. Career development, wellness, schedules the things that are on their mind. A Good Opportunity to have that conversation and i think we really realize third degree is something we want to do regular low. One thing that the chief wants to bring to the ems is research. And we are starting to work on Research Projects highlight the one we implement third degree month the mind, rhythm study. A head band device placed on parents we expect are having a stroke. This is a trial or study that leaning the researchers and the developer to get fd approval for this. This will be identify a large vesz will stroke and when a patient is experiencing large vessel stroke we take them to the appropriate stroke facility. And that way they get the surgery they need to address that clot. Our members got train in the this photo you will see our retired paramedic working with doctor smith a researcher and clinician with ucsf to teach members how to place the device. How to ewe likewise the device and make sure they enter all the information they need to do the study. Sdpimented notable event in october actually a day i was on vacation.

And they retrofitted those to put you litters in them. Seats for patient its sit in. Utilize these to be able to put all of these elderly seniors and put them on the buss and take them. This is know important asset for the San Francisco city. And for us as a department because this does allow us to responds to assist other jurisdictions in our own city to be able to move a number of people parents to different move to another facility and hospitals. Come in handy as you say and manage this we want to be able to continue. However, the buses are sold we have been told this is not something they are going to support in terms of maintenance because many of the parts needed to keep the bus are no longer available. We are on the search for fundses to be ail to try to replace the bus. We than in that disaster the bus will be critical. But than i cost a lot of money. It is something well try to look for funding for. Not only it is asset for the firefighter but for San Francisco and the region im not aware of other buses that are available in the bay area. Commune paramedicine we visiting the division chief meetings to discuss the work of Community Paramedicine and ems to discuss the new and the new teams and help them be able to better understand huwe work.
