Burlington Fire Department Monthly Report January 2017 The Mission of the Burlington Fire Department is to provide for the fire and life safety needs of the community in the most professional, courteous, and efficient manner possible.
Operations We had 409 calls for service in January, including 310 within the city limits of Burlington. Our average response time for structure fires, from dispatch to onscene, was 4 minutes and 20 seconds. This time includes the time it takes to get into turnout (firefighting) gear and drive to the scene. Our average response time for EMS calls in Burlington was 5 minutes and 31 seconds. For EMS calls the time includes some non-emergency responses. Fire Prevention Fire Marshal Crooks completed 33 inspections of various types in January. During these inspections he cited 109 violations requiring many re-inspections to be completed at a later date. Crews installed 12 smoke alarms and 3 carbon monoxide alarms in January. For a period of time in January we were completely out of smoke alarms. We were able to purchase 100 alarms with money that was donated for this purpose. We are hopeful that the Elks will be able to use grant money in the near future to purchase more. Training Much of the training in January focused on emergency medical training as the re-certification period for many of our paramedics and EMTs is fast approaching. SCC Paramedic instructor Jim Steffen provided several hours of formal education at Central Fire Station. Many of our Paramedics attended EMS training offered at Great River Medical Center. Several members of the Department have been training our new recruit over the last several weeks. We also started our quarterly EMS skills review.
Other Activities Firefighter Jeff Werner received his 35 year tenure award. Deputy Chief Ryan participated in the peer review process for Assistance to Firefighter Grants in Baltimore, MD.
