A Message from the Fire Coordinator
The weather is changing and so has the time so it must be November. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work and being safe.
When the weather changes we need to gear up for some different challenges, ice and snowy roads, chimney fires and other heating emergencies, CO calls and lost hunters. We need to be ready.
The restructured Search and Rescue team went live on November 1st, The Sullivan County SAR Team operates as a specialty unit under the Sullivan County Bureau of Fire. The team provides emergency search and rescue services throughout the county and offers mutual aid to other jurisdictions when requested. Our capabilities include ground search operations, patient packaging and movement, and both low-angle and operations-level rope rescue.
Fire Reports, please make every effort to keep up with the reports we have 2 more months left to the year, by now you all should have your NEW Fire Reporting (NERIS) accounts. If you are having trouble with getting a NERIS account, please contact BC-3 Jack Halchak he can assist you.
Training courses, we have several courses up and running to finish out the fall schedule. The winter schedule is being worked on and will be posted soon.
Reminder that the training center is available until the middle of December for individual or joint fire department use, please if interested contact the training center at least 2 weeks prior to use.
I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.
Thank you for all you do.
Be Safe
John Hauschild 53-1
