Owens suggested that the• department purchase more equipment that. included six self-contained breathing units to be distributed equally on the trucks and the pur- chase of spare air cylinders to allow a minimum of three spare cylinders for each self contained breathing unit. He also suggested that a program be started to replace combination fire trucks after they have completetI 15 years service. The report' dealt with the training and retraining of members of the volunteer brigade and suggested that a recruit and in-service training program be im- plemented to provide training and retraining of members of the department. It was also suggested that the chief and deputy chief immediately apply to attend the , Fire Protection Technology course at the Ontario Fire College at dif- ferent times over a three year consecutive period. In reviewing the depart- ment's communication system Owens suggested that the department purchase a recording device to record incoming and outgoing calls to the station for fire alarms and other emergencies and that a standby emergency.. electric power supply be provided for fire alarm equipment and radio. Owen also thought the department should employ a short wave radio system and that a different system other than the fire siren be used to alert fireman. He said the system could become inef- fective due to the growth of the town and the location of the firefighters' homes giving consideration to wind direction and other elements. Goderich Fire Chief Ralph Kingswell explained that the department has already implemented some of the recommendations. The department is now outfitted with a radio system and there are a number of small alert units, similar to those used by hospital personnel, on order. The present siren system of alert may be replaced depending on the success of these units. Chief Kingswellsaid that such a survey was also fequested and completed on the Goderich fire fighting facilities and equipment in 1970 and should be done periodically. He said it benefits both the department and council and gives them an idea ofe they stand in the field of fire fighting. Profit also lauded the benefits of such a survey on a regular basis and hopes that several of the recom- mendations in the report will be implemented as the fire budget permits. The survey included a review of the organization, methods, practices, man- power, apparatus, equip- ment, communications and fire stations of the town's fire department as well as fife prevention bylaws, water supply for fire fighting and traffic conditions that may affect fire department operations.
