D. Under
18 years
old training policy
D. Billings said [re using personnel under 18 years of age] that
at this time it would be best not to have 18 year olds and under
personnel on scene. S. Arndt said that it is unfortunate
because some of the best trainees/volunteers are under 18.
Billings and Arndt agreed that there could be potential
liability, especially on scene. J. Halcomb made a motion to
suspend using 18 [and under] year olds as trainees/volunteers
until the Board could establish proper policies re legal issues
and formulate a viable policy. G. Spalinger seconded the
motion. There was a unanimous affirmative roll call vote.
E. Wildland Training
Assistant Chief Himes advised that the FF1 program has a new
video safety series on wildland training. S. Arndt said that
the FMO was in town and that there was a different requirement
than FF1 and it involved having a red card. Himes said that
requirement was for 40 hours. J. Halcomb said that you only
needed 4 hours for recertification. The Chair indicated that it
would be worthwhile looking into the extra requirement - being _l
