Anna's Diner I have reviewed the hood plans and have had an on-site meeting with the Building Official, Scott's Rep. and the renter. The pass piping has been tested and passed. This office continues to wait for a formal letter from the hood inspection the ceiling area to the roof top system need to be signed off that it is in good working condition. Max's is still under renovation Received technical sign off on interior wall finish. Old hood will have to be taken out and a new one installed waiting on plans. Also waiting on extinguishment plans. This project appears to be on hold, as no work has gone on is several weeks. NHS Building Project I am sitting on this committee as the Fire Marshal. There are 2 meeting a month and will provide updates as available. The project is still in design and the function stage but the meeting is interesting to see how the code will be used as renovate to new. Burn Permits Limited burning was allowed this month. With the weather being so unseasonably warm it has been hit or miss with allowing burning to take place. Fire Investigation Luckily we have had no incidents to investigate this month. Respectfully,

This is slightly down but it always is this time of year. Apparatus and Equipment Fire 2 Rescue & Emergency 6 Hazardous Condition/No Fire 3 False Alarm / False Call 12 Service Call/Good Intent 7 Annual truck checks are moving right along. Tanker 9 is the final truck out. Chief Engineer Harris will give an update Buildings Roof Update - The roof is moving along as planned. We all need to remember this is a unique commercial roof not a residential roof. Board of FC liaison, BPC Pacilio and I met with the job manager and owner of the roofing company. The roof is going on as designed. We are now waiting on the gutters. Capt. Lampart is painting all the door jams and hardware on the exterior of the building. The striker on the back door for the key fob entry is worn out and is being replaced. The fire alarm power supplied has decided to have out lived its usefulness. It was just serviced in September and this month, it died. We have received the quote for the new panel and it will be installed within the week. This is a proprietary system to simplex. In order to go out to bid we would have to replace the entire system from panel to heads to wiring, this would be big $$$. By staying with simplex we can just upgrade the current items in need of replacing. The quote is just under $3,000.00 The door to the meeting room from the standby room was repaired. The lock was broken.
Department Calendar of Events The Chief continues to send out "Monday Morning" emails on the week's upcoming events and announcements are made at 12:10 and 6:27. The Chief has added a Friday Week-Wrap-Up and Weekend Reminder Email. Remember these are just reminders of events and additional communications to help us function better. Budget Any request for the 2017-18 budget need to be given to your company Captains by November 1s t. A want is different that a need. Only needs will be reviewed for inclusion into the final budget. Truck Committee B7 & R3 B7 - The truck is moving right along and if you look on our website or Facebook we post picture regularly. We expect to receive it before our next meeting. We will call a special meeting if necessary to review and accept the truck. The sealed bid for old B7 has gone out. The opening is the 25 th. The new truck will be here by month end, or just after November 1 depending on the final installation of odds and ends and the radio's.
