SHIAWASSEE ST. fajf°C I�1 L A N S I N G L A N S I N G, AREA CODE S17-48S-7241 January 1, 1982 December 31, 1982 To the Honorable Mayor Terry J. McKane: M I C H I G A N On behalf of the Lansing Fire Board and members of the'Lansing Fire Department, I have the pleasure of presenting the Fire Department's Annual Report for 1982. During 1982 the Lansing Fire Department continued to provide the State's most up to date, modern firefighting and paramedic teams. The in-service residential inspections have produced excellent results, contributing to+a 2.5% decrease in residential fires. Although arson fires have increased by 4%, the department through active investigation has maintained a 53% apprehen- sion rate. This is double the State of Michigan and National average. Lansing's per capita fire loss was $14.93, based on a population of 127,107; an increase of thirteen percent over 1981. This is still well below the State average of $25.08. The adjusted fire loss for 1982 is only three percent of the total value of the property involved. The Fire Department has initiated several new programs during the past year, which will provide Lansing's citizens with more efficient and better firefighting protection. As you are well aware, our continued efforts are dependent upon the teamwork and support of the Administration, all City Agencies, and the Citizens of Lansing. Together we can give all the Citizens of Lansing a safe environment in which to live, work, worship, and play. Respectfully submitted, Mark R. Holliday, Fire Chief /dle ii 45933 TERRY J. McKANE Mayor iii LANSING FIRE BOARD The statistics and facts contained in this, the 1982 Lansing Fire Department Annual Report, once again point out that the City of Lansing has the finest fire protection and emergency medical services that can be provided. In spite of severe economic conditions and reduced manpower, the Lansing Fire Department continued to provide complete protection for Lansing's citizens. All of the programs which have proven effective in the past have been retained and several new programs have been initiated to improve the efficiency of the Department. The Board of Fire Commissioners wishes to thank the Mayor's Office and City Council for the cooperation displayed during 1982. We, also, appreciate the full cooperation we received from the Administration and all of the personnel of the Lansing Fire Department. BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS Richard E.

SCHALKHAUSER LANSING FIRE DEPARTMENT It continues to be my privilege and pleasure to serve as the Chaplain of the Lansing Fire Department. During the year, I have tried to make myself available and helpful to both personnel in the depart- ment and citizens in the Lansing Community. For some, friendship was the only need; to others I needed to be a counselor and advocate; for still others, it was necessary to offer comfort and assistance in difficult and sometimes tragic circumstances. i A special project during the year was the creation of an Employee Assistance Program (E.A.P.). The purpose of the pro- gram was to make counseling and helping services more readily available to depart- ment personnel. A description of the JAMES A. SCHALKHAUSER program and the kind of services being offered was sent to all employees and their families. When the CARES Program was introduced for Lansing city employees, the E.A.P. program was integrated into the CARES services so that it is possible for me to make necessary referrals to other helping professionals either directly or through CARES. During the late summer and early fall I circulated a survey form among all personnel. With this survey I was able to get a better insight into the kinds of problems which confront fire personnel in their private and work lives. I found people very willing to respond to the survey and very candid in their remarks. In the very near future I intend to publish results of the survey in the department. Marital problems and problems created by the abuse of alcohol appear to be among the most serious for employees, and the work schedule was most often given as the major con- tributing factor to those problems and others. Initial readouts of the survey were used in a special session that I had with the new recruits just before concluding their training. The feedback from that session suggests that it was helpful to look at and discuss the job -related factors that can contribute to the creation of personal and inter -personal problems. Among other activities in which I participated was the Memorial Day weekend observance at the grave of the "unknown fireman" in the Mt. Hope Cemetery. The special recognition given there to firefighters who have lost their lives while working to save the lives and property of others is very important. I hope that it continues to be an annual observance, and I will work to help see to it that it is. Several other "ceremonial" appearances were made at special events and functions of the department. I look forward to continued service as Fire Department Chaplain, and will do everything that I can to help meet the emotional and spiritual needs of those who serve the citizens of this community with such commit- ment and dedication. 1 Revised 12/8/82 LAN.SING FIRE 'DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENTAL ;ORGAN IZATI ON `MAYOR FIREWARD :CHIEF HOLLIDAY F_ ASSISTANT CHIEF PUNG ASSISTANT CHIEF BESLEY SUPPRESSION=PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATIVE:ASSISTANT SUPPRESSION —TRAINING RULES &REGULATIONS DEPUTY CHIEF SUPPRESSION DEPUTY CHIEF CIVIL DEFENSE'& DEPARTMENT POLICIES 'SUPPORT -SERVICES LABOR.

There are eight functional divisions within the department consisting of Administration, Fire Prevention, Training, Fire Suppression, Ambulance, Dispatch, Alarm, and Maintenance, plus support from Central and Fire Garages and Radio Lab. The department is responsible for twelve buildings, nine of which are fire stations, two training build- ings, and one communication building. We have fifty-two vehicles in service, which includes three ambulances and two second -line ambulances, seventeen fire apparatus with twelve specially equipped and second -line apparatus assigned to the fire suppression force. The remaining vehicles are assigned to other divisions. The above manpower and apparatus are used to accomplish the Department's objectives. Today fire is a contributing element of nearly every aspect of our lives. It continues to exact an enormous toll from society - a toll measured in pain, suffering and even death. An effective, coordinated, and continued fire prevention program is one proven tool available for use by elected and appointed officials in combating this serious problem. The operations of various divisions are integrated to meet the functional priorities, in order, include the following: I. Reduction of Residential Fires Although we have reduced our residential fires from 82% to 72% of our total building fires, this area is still our #1 priority. To accomplish this all building fires are noted on census -tracts and areas of high incidents are placed on a•priority list and these areas are given residential in- service inspection under the supervision of an inspector from the Fire Prevention Bureau. Lansing suffered four fire fatalities during 1982, and each occurred in residential structures. We completed six hundred in-service home inspections with many fire hazards being eliminated at the time of the inspections. This also gives our firefighters an opportunity to inform the resident of the benefits of smoke detectors and a home escape plan at the time of a fire This program will be expanded during 1983. Through the efforts of our arson team approach we have obtained judicial action on.52% of our arson cases. This team effort has reduced the total dollar loss and number of incidents of arson by 8%. 2. Public Awareness and Education We are attempting to establish a year round program to encompass our total populace through the establishment of 3 f- Objectives - Continued a Speaker's Bureau and a Match Program for pre-school children. Last year we provided 400 programs to service clubs, fraternal organizations, industry, health care facilities, schools, and various other groups. We are striving to expand this program in order to educate the public of the devastating.effect of fire and the preven- tion of same. 3. Fire Suppression In order to continue the rapid suppression of fires and the protection of citizens to minimize the loss of life and property, new ideas are being adopted and studied. The reduction of manpower necessitates the development of new firefighting procedures in the area of response and fire- fighting techniques. We are currently training and developing two hazardous material response teams. We reconstructed our hi -rise firefighting program by employing available equip- ment from the Department of Military Affairs, helicopters, etc. 4. Emergency Medical Service Continued training and new techniques in our E.M.S. continue to keep Lansing as the nation's finest emergency medical system. 5. Labor Relations Assistant Chief Lawrence Pung has been assigned to be the Labor Relations Officer for the Fire Department. He is to be involved in part of negotiations with our labor organizations. He will be working very closely with the City of Lansing Labor Relations Office. 6. Public Relations Assistant Chief William Besley has been assigned as the Public Relations Officer for the Fire Department. He will be responsible for representing the Fire Department with the local news people, civic groups, etc. 7. Additional Programs A driver's training program has been instituted to help provide safer response to emergencies. A Spanish Speaking Program is under way to improve communication when the need arises. Department paramedics are continuing the blood -pressure screening in the lobby of City Hall with approximately 528 citizens being tested. Window stickers were purchased by Local #421 for the identification of childrens bedrooms. The "C.A.R.E." stickers will be used in conjunction with our expanded home inspection LA Objectives - Continued program. In-house schooling on radiological monitoring is presently underway. An important ingredient in management is good communication both vertical and horizontal. Good vertical communications can bring support of our programs and approval of our budget from the City Administration; likewise good horizontal communications will contribute a high degree of morale, a sense of attainment on the part of our department. 5 CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN FIRE DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS No. 1 Station, Headquarters & Fire Garage - - 120 E.

ADSIT Fire Marshal 45 FIRE PREVENTION The Fire Prevention Bureau, under the supervision of the Fire Marshal, consists of six Senior'Inspectors, Three Inspector IIs, an Inter- mediate Clerk, and a Drafting Aide. The Lansing Fire Department, through the Fire Prevention Bureau, has dedicated itself to educating the citizens of the Greater Lansing area of the fire hazards and the dangers of an unfriendly fire. In their endeavor to accomplish a total public awareness program to overcome the apathy and ignorance the general public has toward the fire problem, every media of communication has been used. Information to properly educate the general public regarding safety and fire prevention has been provided to nine radio stations (both AM and FM), two television stations (Channel 6 and Channel 10), our local metropolitan newspaper, several local area newspapers, which includes a Spanish newspaper. This also includes a speakers bureau, local, industrial, mercantile, institutional periodicals, bulletin boards, poster, displays, including window exhibits and hand out literature. All of these have proven effective. 46 SUMMARY OF FIRE PREVENTION (ACTIVITIES 1481 Fire Investigations - - - - - - - - - - --- .- plaints Investigated Complaints 299 � Apartment Houses, Rooming qpqs�es.,.E c Hospitals, Convalescent Homes, ,Nursing -,Homes -5 Dry Cleaners and Laundromats Inspected 118 Body Shops,, Garages, 3,7 Gasoline Stations Inspected Night Clubs,, Bars Cabarets Hotels, Motels, Restaurants Inspe�q.,tp4 41�§ All Other Buildings ,,(,Vacant and,Occupied) 1,, 0 Reinspection 7*!

Industrial and Mercantile Programs Inspections are made and assistance is provided in training the personnel. Instruction in the proper use of fire extinguishers is provided for the small.operations. Full fire brigade training is provided for the larger operations. Group programs have been provided in "What to do in the Case of Bomb Calls" and "Disaster Planning". Disaster plans and evacuation plans have been established for most of the major buildings in the Lansing area. Government Agencies All Federal, State, County, and City buildings have been surveyed and evacuation programs established. Monitor programs have been provided in all state owned and leased properties during the past year. Drills have been held in each with critiques held to make the necessary corrections. Open House at all Fire Stations We have maintained an open house policy in all of our fire stations. During the past year more than 1,000 children and 250 adults have visited all of our nine fire stations. All stations are prepared for this activity. Not only is the equipment explained, but fire prevention is discussed and all visitors are given fire prevention literature. Fire Prevention Week 1982 This office distributed approximately 65,000 pieces of Fire Prevention literature to all of our local schools and local fire departments in the Greater Lansing Area. This year four Boy Scouts from Troop #417, St. Casmir Church, assisted with counting and assembling the materials handed out to the schools. This was 50 Fife Prevention Activities, -.

Residential Inspection Program On July 21, 1980, an in-service Home Inspection program was implemented, with the crews of #2 and #10 stations being instructed on the concepts and procedures of the program. On the initial inspection members of the Fire Prevention Bureau accompanied the crews. Beside making the home inspection, informational handouts were given to the occupants, which included pamphlets on smoke detectors, Operation Edith, Home Safety Check List, 911 Stickers for the telephones and the Careless Family pamphlet. In 1982 this program was expanded to include all but #1 station. During this year approximately 707 homes were inspected, with many fire hazards eliminated at the time of inspections. As the result of this program our dwelling fires were reduced by 9%, or from 170 in 1980 to 153 in 1981 and remained at 153 in 1982. Arson and Arson Prevention In 1982 the City of Lansing suffered 336 building fires. Of this total 57 were the result of the crime of arson. Therefore, arson fires accounted for 17% of our total building fires, with an apprehension rate of 53%. If we reflect this apprehension rate against the national average of approximately 10% in 1979, we are very proud of our efforts. Our records also reflect there has been a decrease of 8% in arson from 1979. This proves the theory that good investigation teams will not only increase the apprehension rate, but will also reduce the crime of arson. Our inspectors spent a total of 2,313 hours in investigation of fires and false alarms, which resulted in 51 court cases. We are convinced that the investigations have paid off. Our team approach or strike force has been recognized not only by the State, but also nationally, through the U.S. Fire Administration. Conferences Attended Members of this division attended conferences and seminars that the budget would allow. Some were attended at the members own expense. The members attending relay information obtained to the remainder of the division. 52 Fire Prevention AdtiVitieg,*= Continued These include Inspectors Certification SchoqT, at Michigan State Police Trqintmg - MY Acade , Arson Seminar at Michigan State Police Training Academy; the N.F.P.A.

Fire Prevention Activities - Continued Drafting Aide Emily Petersen was transferred from Training to Fire Prevention at the time our office was moved. rnnclusion We have attempted to maintain a high level of fire prevention and safety programs to the total community, in every walk of life, at home, at work, at school and at play, and it is this division's contention that this activity must be continued to get our message across to John Q. Public. It appears that we have obtained a step in the right direction, although there is no true measure of success in Fire Prevention, there are failures, such as fire fatalities and fire losses. We have attempted to cover all aspects of fire prevention and we still have our share of failure. During the year of 1982 there were four fire fatalities and these are our real failures. All of the members of this division are most grateful to all of the organi- zations and individuals that have contributed and have aided us in the promotion of fire prevention and fire safety during the past year. We would like to express our appreciation for the assistance and cooperation we have received from the Board of Fire Commissioners, the Administration, and all the members of the other divisions in providing fire prevention and safety to the citizens of Lansing.

A total of seventeen pieces of first -line apparatus and two command cars are maintained with,a daily minimum staffing level of fifty-nine personnel•. Fire companies received training from the Fire Prevention Division in the inspection of residential dwellings and over 707 inspections were made.. The division was actively engaged in Fire Prevention programs during the year and officers continued pre -fire planning of schools, businesses, industries, and hospitals. Fire Suppression responded to 3,959 alarms in 1982 and approximately half of these were at night, averaging eleven alarms per day. Fires where substantial damage occurred, averaged a serious fire every 26.07 hours for a total of 336 fires. Extinguishing these fires required the use of 233,300 feet of fire hose for an average of 639 feet per day. A total of 6,168 feet of ladders were used for an average of 119 feet per week. Two hundred and thirty- three 12'• x 14' salvage covers were spread at these fires to protect property from water, smoke and heat for a total of 39,144 square feet. The total pumping time of apparatus to extinguish these fires amounted to 478 hours and 55 minutes or approximately twenty 24-hour days of pumping..

McNAMARA Chief Instructor 63 TRAINING DIVISION The Training Division is comprised of two people: Thomas McNamara, Chief of Training, and Robert Hodges, Captain. The responsibilities of the Training Division are as follows: The basic training of recruits in the 240-Hour State Certification Course plus 30-Hours of "Special Training" in river rescue, survival, pre -fire planning, hazardous materials, etc.. Secondly, we are responsible for all fire apparatus driver training, basic and continuing. Periodic updating in established methods and training in new methods and practices is ongoing. The training of present and per- spective officers in such areas as fire ground strategy and tactics, fire chemistry, hazardous materials and incident management occupied many hours this year. Special training was conducted in cooperation with other City Departments, Board of Water and Light, Public Service, Lansing Police Department, and East Lansing Fire Department. Thirty-nine candidates were given the practical agility test during two sessions. Twelve recruits were enrolled and twelve -graduated from• our 240-Hour recruit school. Ten people were from Lansing, one from Eaton Rapids Fire Department, and our first female recruit from the East Lansing Fire Department. One-third of our time is spent "breaking -in" new drivers and refreshing others. With the inception of 5" supply hose, classes were conducted at all involved stations by Captain Hodges. Classroom sessions and hands-on practical applications of our new AFFF Foam were held at the Training Academy. All 3% protein foam was removed and replaced here with AFFF, with the old foam to be used for training. Officer training was conducted for forty-eight men in fire ground commander functions and a five week course in fire fighting strategy was presented to officers at the No. 1 Fire Station classroom. A special "Natural Gas Emergencies" class was held at No. 8 Station following a serious incident. A test was made of 1 3/4" and 2" hose for handlines, and it was decided by Fire Suppression Officers that it would not be practical at this time. I.F.S.T.A. 200 S-I Test Manuals were distributed and explained to Station Officers to assist them with in-house schooling. Station Officers cooperated by having ground ladder practice and helping train drivers. Fire training tapes on pertinent subjects were aired to all stations to assist and update methods. Obsolete Engine #211 and Reo Squad #3 were removed from the drill tower and replaced with Ladder 6 and T-40. The tower was also used by Lansing Community College for paramedic Training and by the East Lansing Fire Department for aerial practice. Many hours were spent with Board of Water and Light personnel in revising the pole top and manhole rescue procedures. .After holding sixteen training sessions in these procedures, written copies were distributed and explained to all stations. Over three hundred indivi- dual tours of five Board of Water and Light Facilities were conducted 64 Training Division —Continued for Fire personnel. The East Lansing Fite . Ddpdttt6n,t was also ttAinded ,in our pole top and manhole rescue methods. We now have over fifty training programs on t#6 &jtdk 6b"t&jnjng ten new Ones this year.

On March 22, 1935, their diligent efforts were awarded. A charter was granted and received from the International Association of Fire- fighters and on that day, Local #421 Lansing Firefighter's Union was born. The charter members were: Waldo Peterson Charles Decker Lyle Griffin Gordon Jones Lewis Hethorn Chester Pierson Samuel Fisher Olaf Elder John Forner Roy Seymour Roy Gleason Andrew Shadduck Robert Metz William Jones George Spaulding Lynford Scott Lyal Feazel Since 1935, Local #421 has achieved a long list of accomplishments it can be justly proud of. Before November 3, 1936, firefighters retired at a maximum of $50.00 a month. Through the unending efforts of Local #421, members retiring after July 1, 1981, will receive a minimum of 6211% of their highest two year average compensation earned. The maximum percentage could be 7731%. Local #421 actually came of age in 1955, when it won official recogni- tion as the representative of the members of the Fire Department by the Lansing City Council. Local #421 representatives have met and conferred with the City Council on wages, hours, and fringe benefits for its members continually from that date. In 1965 the Legislature passed Act 378, the "Collective Bargaining Law" for public employees and in 1969 it adopted Act 312, the "Binding Arbitration Law." Local #421 members went through some very trying; and difficult times in those years of official collective bargaining, but the Local has emerged an effective and responsible guardian of its members' rights and has obtained for its members one of the truly finest collective bargaining agreements enjoyed by firefighters anywhere in the nation. Local #421 and its 236 members are living proof of the precept: "In unity there is strength." 81
