FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Fire Department conducted an officers meeting on Thursday, April 2, 1998, at the <br />Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chief Kapler called the officers meeting of the Ramsey Fire Department to order at 7:07 p.m. <br />There were five officers in attendance. The next officers meeting will be Sunday, May 3, 1998. <br /> <br />MONTHLY REPORTS <br /> <br />Tom Hoxter reviewed the training objectives. <br /> <br />· He will be checking with other departments on what forms they use for training records. <br />· He will be changing a total of nine forms to the new format. <br /> <br />Ron Lemm reviewed training classes. <br /> <br />ChiefKapler commented that March was the best training month in quite awhile. <br /> <br />Map reading training should be done every year. <br /> <br />Last night's drill went well (Ladders & Ropes). <br /> <br />Need additional instruction on cribbing, power lines, (underground and above) and <br />extrication. There is an in-depth class by Lermy Crandall, that is a two-day rescue school on <br />auto extrication. It shows other tools to use when what you have is not working, such as <br />screw drivers. <br /> <br />The live bum on Sunday went well. Discussion ensued relating to whether or not the <br />department needed the Tech at the training. Liability was a concern. Another training <br />method would be to give someone a job and let them figure out how to accomplish it. One <br />concern was that the pump wasn't put in volume. <br /> <br />ChiefKapler reviewed the maintenance. <br /> <br />· New pump cans will be in service by this week end. <br /> <br />· The wheels on the trucks are not being cleaned. <br /> <br />Jim S'h~'p reviewed equipment report. <br /> <br />· Equipment is ready for all four new fire fighters. <br /> <br /> <br />
