Holliday, Fire Chief January 1, 1985 through December 31, 1985 To the Honorable Mayor Terry J. McKane: On behalf of the Lansing Fire Board and the members of the Lansing Fire Department, I am pleased to present the Annual Report for 1985. This report is a documentary summarization of accomplishments of the many divisions of the Lansing Fire Department. The report demonstrates the continuation of the superior level of service to the citizens of Lansing. The Lansing Fire Department responded to 11,833 alarms, which is a new record. This is an average of better than 32 alarms -per day. Lansing's per capita fire loss was $33.23. While this figure is up from last year, and an all time record, it is still below the state per capita average of $33.68. The fire loss for 1935 was $4,339,987.88, while the value of the buildings involved was $721,654,633. The Lansing Fire Department continued the training of a hazardous material response team and is in the process of outfitting a vehicle for use in these situations. Physical fitness training continued with further positive results for the personnel. The residential inspections were continued with excellent results and many positive comments throughout the community. It is with greatest pride in our department and my personal thanks to all of our city agencies for their continued support, that I am able to submit this annual report. Respectfully submitted, ark Ho i da Fire Chief 'Equal Opportunity Employer" ii Dedicated To: BOX "23" CLUB Organized December 11, 1937 A group of special citizens dedicated in assisting the members of the Lansing Fire Department l BOX 23 ASSOCIATES At 5:30 a.m. on a bitterly cold December 11, 1934,.a.Gamewell Telegraph box at the corner of Grand and Ottawa was pulled to sound the first alarm for the Hotel Kerns fire. This fire, which is Lansing's most tragic fire, resulted in the loss of 32 lives. On December 11, 1937, a group of Lansing citizens organized a club to be of service to the Lansing Fire Department at the scene of major fires. The group took the alarm box number from the Kerns fire as its name and has since been known as the "Box 23 Club." FI Ali The twenty-three (23) members of the club meet once a month between September and May. Dinner meetings are held in October and February at a fire. station on a rotating basis. When the club is called to the scene.of a fire, hot or cold beverages, doughnuts and dry gloves are provided to the firefighters. The goals of the club are to promote the interests and activities of the Lansing Fire Department and be of service to the firefighters at the scene of emergencies. Even though the club has tried to operate in a quiet manner, not seeking any notoriety for the club or its members, it has been recognized several times. Mayor Graves proclaimed May 21, 1977, as Box 23 Day and in June 1982, the Michigan State Senate and House of Representatives in a concurrent resolution recognized the Club for its activities. While the members come from all walks of life, they share a common bond and interest in the well-being of the firefighters. On behalf of the members of the Lansing Fire Department, sincere thanks 'and appreciation is extended to the "Box 23 Association."

SCHALKHAUSER Fire Chaplain I participated, again, in the have lost their lives in the was held at the grave of the on Memorial Day weekend. The functions of the Fire Department Chaplain include being available to firefighters and their families as a friend and counselor, helping to meet the unique mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of those whose work is protecting the lives and property of others. The Chaplain is also called on to serve the citizens of this community by offering comfort and assistance in times of tragic personal loss. Included in my activities during the past year were visiting Department personnel, both active and retired, who were hospitalized or recuperating from illness or injury at home, counsel- ing with members of the department, officiating at funeral services for personnel or members of their families, and attending special functions and events in an official capacity. annual recognition of firefighters who line of duty. This memorial observance "unknown fireman" in Mt. Hope Cemetery The Training Division asked that I provide a special session in the training program for new recruits. The special focus of this four-hour session was the "other hazards" of the job -- the emotional stress and the stress put on a firefighter's marriage and family because of the work he or she does. The emotional impact of dealing with disaster and death and dying was discussed, along with appropriate ways of coping with these stress creating factors. It is my feeling that job -related stress among providers of emergency services is a serious issue which is contributing to personal and family problems and "burn -out." I intend to work with personnel and staff in the department to find ways of reducing stress and dealing with the unavoidable stress that this job creates. I thank the members of the Department, the administrative staff, and, also, the Commissioners of the Fire Board for their continuing support and encouragement. To be able to help those who are committed to protect- ing and caring for the citizens in this community is a special privilege. 1 LANSING FIRE DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION w Revised 12/8/82 CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN FIRE DEPARTMENT BUILDINGS No. 1 Fire Station:, Headquarters, Dispatch, E.M.S., Administration, Alarm and -Maintenance -----------------120 East"Shiawassee No. 2 Fire Station ------------------------------------- 2114 N.

HOLLIDAY Chief LAWRENCE F. PUNG Assistant Chief LAWRENCE J. DEVLIN Assistant Chief CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN LANSING FIRE DEPARTMENT nR.1FCTTVFS The basic organization of the Lansing Fire Department is being continued during 1985. . The Lansing Fire Department Board of Fire Commissioners and 'the Administration feel the methods and procedures employed -by the department are continuing to improve. The current organization of the Fire Department consists of eight divisions that utilize 243 persons. As of this writing each of the Division commands has prepared certain specific objectives in each of these areas to improve the management of the department. FIRE PREVENTION.——— During 1985 the Fire Prevention Bureau coordinated our home .inspection program. Crews of Lansing Firefighters went door to door in their fire districts making home inspections. This program commences in May and continues through October 31, each year by Firefighters and continues the balance of the year with Inspectors making the inspections where needed or requested. Inspections are free as a courtesy of the Lansing Fire Department in the interest of fire safety. This program gives the Lansing Fire Department direct contact with the homeowners and enables us to assist in the correcting of many fire hazards at the time of the inspections. The assignment of fire districts to the Inspectors within this division has increased their efficiency. All industrial and or business buildings within a district will be inspected at least once each year. The records of hazardous materials storage and usage is being coordinated by the Fire Prevention Bureau. Our accidental fire loss has maintained a steady figure, while our arson fire loss has elevated. We shall concentrate our efforts in the coming year to decrease the arson and accidental losses. FIRE SUPPRESSION Fire Suppression has continued to perform exceptionally well in spite of the increase in arson related fires. The addition of three new fire apparatus has relieved our difficulty with equipment being out of service for repair. An in-depth Hazardous Materials training school will be given in April to fifty of our firefighters. The increase in hazardous materials problems makes it much more important to have well -trained personnel in this field. 11 Fire Dept. Objectives - Continued, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES The Fire Department through the paramedic°service continued providing;. the' highest quality of service to the citizens. Three ambulances are in, service at all times and two are maintained -in re'serve... The medical service responded to an all time record of 7,724 alarms of which 20% were calls for paramedic level service. In 1986 'we expect continued increases in requests for. service and 'to aid i'n maintaining the level of service we will be obtaining. a new ambulance' and will then keep a reserve ambulance -in each' ambulance' station. We will be looking at the possibility of a fourth ambulance' being placed' in service: This would require an increase from 26 paramedi'cs to 36 paramedics on the.staff. - TRAINING Training continues as an ongoing program in the Lansing. Fire Department. This past year updated Training included new engines .at stations 44 and #10. Crews and operators for Platform #9, and various other small equipment. In 1986 we will concentrate on qualifying 20.0 apparatus operators- and' 30 crews and operators for Platform #9. We wi l 1'. fia°ve �-exten`si ve ° tra'i ni ng in the hazardous materials field. Schools'. will be field' for equipment, vehicles, elevators, and continued offi'c*e'r' training programs. F DISPATCH' D'I'V4SION . Experience remains the centerpoint of our' Dis"patch division.:` Durfng 1985 the division handled ll;,,833.alarms and while this, represents a small decrease in actual alarms the amount —of, contact with the public continued to- increase. The wire box alarm system will be removed'.du"ring. 1986. The radio box system will continue to grow as more locations obtain their equipment. We will be looking at a computer aided dispatching system wi-th °ass'i'stance from the Data Processing Department.-- This will greatl"y'improve`our efficency. ALARM' D'IVISION'., During 1986 the removal of all wire master'-boxe-s,- reception equipment. and associated hardware will be completed. The inst411ation' of new 'radib' reception equipment and a'remodeli`ng`of the dispatch office will be;concehtrated on during the ,year. A maintenance and, testing pr:og.ram1"6f al1l el'ectric4f equipment will be increased for the safety, of the'Aepartrient per''onnel .- We will be looking in; obtain'i'ngl some testing equipment to.further this goal. . 12'k Fire Dept. Objectives - Continued MAINTENANCE DIVISION The Maintenance Division continues to insure prompt repairs 'to all fire suppression equipment, ambulance equipment and to the general building equipment. The divison is responsible for maintaining inventories of all department supplies and equipment and keeping an adaquate stock on hand to fill all requests from the various divisions of the department. Purchasing of supplies and equipment is the responsibility -of the division within the guidelines set down by the Purchasing Department and determined by the Fire Department budget. The Maintenance Division i.s responsible for the maintaining, filling and servicing the Scott air paks. The division provides the service to all surrounding departments for a change. The Maintenance Division will continue the high level and safe degree of all equipment used and necessary for the continued excellent level of Lansing Fire Department service to the citizens. ADMINISTRATION The Fire Chief with the aid of two Assistant Chief's provide the leadership, set departmental policy and maintain the rules necessary for the efficient operation of the Lansing Fire Department. An Administrative Assistant who is responsible for office operations assists as necessary. In 1986 a hazardous materials school is planned. The functions of the Administrative Division are as follows: 1. Policy formulation and organizational planning, including establis- and maintaining organization structure, preparing alternative plans for resource utilization, etc. 2. Supervision of personnel in operations of Fire Department and delegating responsibility to appropriate personnel. 3. Preparation and presentation of budgef requests. 4. Responding to emergency situations and making necessary emergency decisions, etc. 5. Labor relations, conferences with Union, handling grievances and participating in contract negotiation efforts. 6. Public relations and community education, including attending conf- erences with other agencies or groups, making speeches etc. 7. Program evaluation and modification. 8. Training of supervisory personnel in procedural changes, etc. 9. 'Consultation with other City departments and officials. -10. Preparation and maintenance of records, reports, responses to • inquires, etc. 13 Fire Dept. Objectives - Continued BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT The Lansing Fire Department is responsible for eleven buildings consisting of nine fire stations and two training buildings. Painting of fire stations is being looked into and general maintenance will. continue. In 1985 the L.F'.D. received and placed in service two Engines and one Ladder Platform. In 1986 we are purchasing a new ambulance in the Spring and a second new ambulance in the Fall. The Lansing Fire Department has fifty-five vehicles in service including the ambulances referred to in the Emergency Medical Services section. PROGRAMS The affirmative action recruitment program that was. initiated in 1983 continued successfully in 1985. A presentation for recruiting qualified minorities to the Lansing Fire Department was developed by a committee of firefighters and the City Personnel Department. This program has been given at Community Centers throughout the Lansing area. The voluntary physical fitness program has been continued in 1985 with active participation by members of the department. Accurate testing and follow-up procedures nave established the value of the regimen that our firefighters are following. The development of pre -fire plans has been increased ithrough the efforts of the Fire Suppression and Training divisions. Our Explorer Post 421 has received many District, State and National honors. The members of the Post have received training in basic firefigh:ting'and they are currently undergoing E.M.T. training. The Explorers have participated in area -wide exploring fire training conferences and been supportive in furnishing emergency first -aid stations for scouting events as well as several public events. The combined efforts of the Lansing Fire Department and Local 421 has provided one of the finest exploring programs in the community. This mutual interest in the program's success in reaching young people is outstanding. In 1985 ;.he Fire Department's Honor Guard was reorganized. This group of twenty-one firefighters represents the department at funerals and community parades. The Torrent Engine Company volunteers continue to represent the City of Lansing and the Fire Dpartment at various parades and activities with our antique fire apparatus. This concludes our summary of the Lansing Fire Department's activities for the calendar year 1985 and some. of our; plans for 1986. . The Fire Department continued to serve the citizens of Lansing with a high degree of professionalism. This was accomplished with the support of the City Administration, the help of all other City agencies, and the teamwork of Lansing's citizens. 14 CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOLLAR Salaries (includes Holiday Pay, Food Allowance, $7,613,750 Uniform Maintenance Allowance, Overtime, Longevity,'and Sick Leave Incentive) Utilities 186,550 'Equipment/Equipment Rental 153,825 Operating Supplies & Miscellaneous Expenses 53,800 Uniforms 35,500 Repair & Maintenance 30,510 Chemicals 6,000 Professional Services 22,980 TOTAL FY 85/86 BUDGET: $8,102,915 15 ALARM DIVISION ROBERT L. MANNS Alarm Superintendent ALARM DIVISION The Fire Alarm Division is staffed by the following sworn personnel; Alarm Superintendent VI, Communications Technician III, and Lineman I. Sixteen of the Gamewell alarm circuits have been removed including their associated line registers. The Voice Alarm Console has been removed and replaced with a radio system that has been connected to our existing station voice amplifier and speaker systems. Two new Digitize receivers associated with the Radio Alarm System were received from the factory and installed in Dispatch. The number of buildings and swimming pools connected to the Radio Alarm System now numbers 86, with 43 of these systems being installed in the past 12 months. Each .radio unit is programmed and tested, and installations in new or existing fire alarm systems are coordinated by Alarm Division personnel to be consistent to the City of Lansing's Radio Alarm format. Reception of all radio box signals is monitored by Alarm personnel and reception problems with radio units or console receivers are corrected as soon as possible. All box batteries were charged and replaced on a regular schedule. The Alarm Division is continuing a program of updating the station Voice Alarm amplifiers with three new units per year. Additional speakers have also been added to several stations to increase floor coverage of the alarms due to lower power output inherent to the radio voice transmissions as opposed to the hardwire system it replaced. Oho"aerial platform, two pumping engines, and one ambulance were put. in service this year with this division responsible for their proper wiring. We have also maintained, repaired, modified and tested all portable electrical equipment carried on rigs, including smoke ejectors, cord reels, fuse boxes, floodlights, cords, etc. All rig generators were wired with a floating ground system to reduce the possibility of electrical shock to department personnel. Station wiring is also a priority for this division and lights, plugs, switches, and new circuits have been added to fire stations, and dispatch. Snow plowing was performed as needed by this division which includes snow removal from all fire department buildings and the Radio Lab. The members of this division are very appreciative for the cooperation we have received from Administration, Division Heads, and the members, of this and other city departments during the past year. 19 CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN ALARMS AND FIRE LOSSES - 1985 Number of alarms received from:9-1-1 Center ------------------ 7,168 Number of radio alarms------------- ------------------- 2,118 Number of telephone alarms----------------------------------- 2,047 Number of alarms received by alarm -boxes --------------------- 251 Number of P.A.S. alarms-------------------------------------- 143 Number of cry alarms---------------------------- ------------ 106 TOTAL NUMBER OF ALARMS RECEIVED 11,833 Greatest number of alarms in one day (January.l)-------- 115 False alarms coming through the alarm boxes------------------ 35 False alarms received over the telephone--------------------- 94 Accidental alarms-------------------------------------------- 295 Longest periodof time without an alarm: 13 hours 33 minutes .(April 15 from 2238 hours to April 16 at 1211 hours) Value of buildings where fires occurred ---------------- $ 5345257,541.00 Value of contents of buildings ------------------------- $ 1875397,092.00 Amount of insurance carried on buildings------------- -$ 533,120,641.00 Amount of insurance carried on contents-------------- -$ 1875041,172.00 Loss on buildings where fires occurred ----------------- $ 2,384,483.26 Loss on contents where fires occurred ------------------ $ 1,955,504.62 TOTAL.LOSS---------------------- ------------------ $ 4,339,987'.88 Insurance adjustments for buildings------------------ -$ 2,287,008.26 Insurance adjustments on contents ---------------------- $ 1,774,014.62 TOTAL.ADJUSTED LOSS ------------------------------- $ 4,061,022.88 Uninsured loss to buildings ---------------------------- $ Uninsured loss to contents ----------------------------- $ TOTAL UNINSURED LOSS ------------------- ----------- $ Loss per capita'- based on population of 130,600--- --- Area: 34.06'Square Miles 97,475.00 181,490.00 278,965.00 $ . 33.23 . 20 DISPATCH THAYER G.

Since 1975, we have provided Advanced Life Support (ALS), also known as paramedic, service to the citizens and travelers of Lansing. Three full-time ambulances are manned by paramedics - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These ambulances responded to 7,724 alarms in 1985. In addition, LFD provides a tiered system response to serious EMS alarms. When necessary, a Basic Life Support (BLS) -staffed Engine Company will precede the ambulance to provide an initial level of care. There are nine full-time Engine Companies ready to respond day or night. In 1985, the Engine Companies assisted on 1,786 alarms. As a courtesy to you, we have listed the type of responses made, which ambulance made them, how many patients were transported and where they were transported to. In addition, we have listed all the paramedics and EMT's who were licensed to provide care in 1985. Finally, we have created several bar graphs which show the time of day alarms were made, and how many days each paramedic or EMT worked on the ambulance. EMS Division Activities The EMS Division is a one -person division staffed by EMS Instructor/Coordinator III, Kenneth E. Jones. On paper, there are an additional eighteen EMS personnel assigned to the division. These personnel are also 240 hour . trained firefighters and are directly supervised by Fire Suppression personnel. It is these "eighteen" individuals who provide our high quality EMS care. The EMS Instructor/Coordinator overses the EMS operation for the Chief. His duties are wide and varied. They can be best summed up by listing the areas of activity. Medical Care The EMS Instructor/Coordinator is responsible to coordinate Lansing Fire Department EMS in its daily operations. Complaints by citizens and medical agencies are first handled by the EMS Division. Evaluation of the medical care provided by EMT's and Paramedics is'done by periodically riding with the ambulances, and also by reviewing ambulance reports. Training The City of Lansing requires all new fire employees 'to receive extensive firefighter and EMS training. The EMS Instructor/Coordinator provides the EMS training in the form of a Basic EMT course. In 1985, eleven new employees were hired. Five were paramedics and did not need the Basic EMT training. One of the new hires completed a full Basic EMT course, while the remaining five were licensed EMT's who completed a refresher course during the EMT training. In addition, the State of Michigan requires on -going education credits. These credits are gained through seminars offered by the EMS Instructor/Coordinator 43 and other local training institut".o.n;s,.

SPEAKERS BUREAU Many Fire Prevention Bureau staff members are active in our Speakers Bureau. This section, under the direction of the Fire Marshal, presented - programs to fraternal organizations, service clubs and many other groups throughout the year.* These programs were films, 35-mm slide programs, and displays of various fire hazards. Great emphasis has been placed on Public Fire Education in the areas of home fire safety, smoke detectors, fire drills in the home, and proper use of fire extinguishers. Fire Safety programs were provided for students attending Lansing Public and Private School systems, as well as Lansing Community College and Michigan State University. These programs included visual aids, and slide programs. Material acquired from fire scenes were also used as examples. HOSPITAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS The personnel of all hospitals, major convalescent homes, and senior citizen buildings are involved in year-round fire prevention programs. This starts with an indoctrination program for all new employees, which is held at least twice a year in each unit. At this time the employee is instructed in rules and regulations, fire drill procedures, evacuation carries, the chemistry of fire, the use of all types of, fire extinguishers, fire hazards, how to eliminate these hazards, and what to do should a fire occur. This is followed up by a refresher course and the practical use of fire extinguishers. Fire drills are held throughout the year, with at least one member of the bureau being at the scene. A critique is held with the supervisory personnel after the drill. These drills are held on all work shifts. All hospitals, convalescent homes, nursing homes and senior citizens resident buildings are inspected at least once a year. All correc- tions must be made before their annual license is issued. 65 Fire }'Prevention 'Activi.ti es • - • Continued New t1evacuati on pl ans were implemented in buil dings 'that had extensive remodeling.

Members of the Fire Prevention Bureau made personal appearances on both local television stations and several local radio stations during the week. Coverage was given in all the local newspapers. This office has attempted to establish a year-round fire prevention program, through public fire education efforts to encompass our total populace and not to attempt to try to put all efforts into a one -week program. RESIDENTIAL INSPECTION PROGRAM Home fire safety inspections were conducted on Thursday of each week. Crews of Lansing firefighters went door to door in their fire district making inspections. The home inspection program commenced in May and continued to October 31. Inspections are FREE as a courtesy of the Lansing Fire Department. Advice was given regarding fire hazards found and preventative methods discussed with the owner or occupant. Members of the bureau conducted joint inspections with the large complex manager -operators. Inspections were made with written permission from the occupants. Fire hazards found were abated. If the occupant was not home during inspection day, and they desired to have an inspection conducted at a more convenient time, a call to the Fire Prevention Bureau, 483-4200, and an appointment was set up with the district officer, or a member of the bureau. During the year 938 dwellings and apartments were inspected. The Independent Insurance Agents of Greater Lansing purchased 144 smoke detectors. All were placed in homes upon completion of a fire safety inspection. 67 Fire 'Prevention Acti vi ties -- "Conti nu.ed GOVERNMENT 'AGENCIES Inspections were conducted and fire safety programs were ,presented at Federal, State and City 'buildings.

OPEN HOUSE The Lansing Fire Department maintains an open house policy for those who wish to visit a fire station and take pictures. In 1985 approximately 1,838 students and 394 adults have been visitors to fire stations. Not only is the equipment explained, but fire prevention is discussed and all visitors are given fire prevention literature. ARSON AND ARSON PREVENTION In 1985, 321 Building fires occurred in the City of Lansing. Of this total, 107 were the results of the crime of arson or suspected arson. Arson acccounted for 33.3% of our total building and vehicle fires. This is an increase of 10.9%, with an apprehension rate of 57.9% in 1985, compared with 39% in 1984. Good team fire investigations have detected the crime of arson, will increase the apprehension rate, and will also reduce the crime of arson.

The main function of the Honor Guard is to be available for funeral services when requested for active or retired Fire Department members. The Honor Guard also attends funerals of members in the surrounding areas that have died in the line of duty, either functioning as the Honor Guard, or as representatives of the Lansing Fire Department. With money through the combined efforts of all 20 men involved in the Honor Guard, (I.E; raffles, fund raisers, etc.) money from the Fire Department budget, and our union activities committee, a uniform solely for Honor Guard purposes was selected and purchased. It is a uniform that is not only very attractive, but is very professional looking in representing the Lansing Fire Department. During the year 1985 the Honor Guard attended eleven Fire Department related funerals, as well as the annual Memorial Service at Mt. Hope cemetery for the Unknown Fireman. The Honor Guard is governed by a six member committee responsible for coordinating funeral services pertaining to the Honor Guard, as well as maintenance and inventory of uniforms and other miscellaneous duties relating to the operations of the Honor Guard.
