Dear Mayor McKan!_, :
On behalf of the Lansing Fire Department and. the Lansings:Board of'
Fire Commissioners, I am pleased to present- the 1988 Annual
Report.
This year's report honors the enormous strides that have been
made by the Lansing Fire. Department in the area of hazardous
materials response planning.
Firefighters are traditionally called. upon to fight fires.
However,: today's firefighters must possess not only expertise and.
skill in -the area of Fire Science, but the knowledge and.training
to respond to and mitigate situations involving chemicals which
are potentially harmful to the environment and public health..
Therefore, the Lansing Fire Department has' established- a
Community Hazardous Materials Survey to assist us in our pre -
incident planning. The information received from these surveys.
incorporates specific.chemical data into the planning process.
Our primary objective is to be appropriately trained to respond
to any 'emergency which may arise. The task is not a simple one,.
but the benefits that can be recognized. are immeasurable.
It is with great pride in our Department and my personal thanks
to all who have assisted us in our service to the resident of
Lansing that I am able to submit this annual report.
Sincerely,
Samuel. R. Hopkins,
Fire Chief

DEDICATED TO:
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
This Annual is dedicated to the professional men and women
devoted to the protection of our community from fire, natural
disaster, injury due to illness or accidents, and of course, it
has been finally recognized, hazardous materials.
For many years these highly trained and skilled professional
people have risked their lives working in and around fires,
hazardous materials and conditions. Many firefighters have died
because of the unknown chemicals either produced out of the
chemistry of fire or chemicals out of their realm of containment.
Hazardous Material safety like fire safety is a tragedy oriented
"applied science." Due to the unfortunate incident in Bopal,
India that killed thousands of people, laws governing the
development, transportation, use, and storage of hazardous
material were urgently promulgated.
From these promulgated laws the firefighters as well as other
first responders were joined by volunteers, some appointed by
State and local government. These appointees and volunteers have
been further organized through groups like the S.E.R.C. (State
Emergency Response Commission and the L.E.P.C. (Local Emergency
Planning Committee.)
Lansing is blessed with a L.E.P.C. who has displayed interest,
knowledge and enthusiasm in developing plans to assist the first
responder, community and environment against the dangers
connected to chemical accidents.
We salute these agencies for their fine efforts. Firefighters
and other first responders will forever be the benefactors of
their dedication.
LANSING FIRE BOARD
In calendar year 1988, amid budgetary and manpower
constraints, the Lansing Fire Department under the
leadership of Chief Sam Hopkins, continued to provide
the citizens of Lansing with the finest possible
fire, emergency medical, hazardous materials and
fire prevention services. The information contained
in this annual report is supportative of the above
cited efforts.
On behalf of the Board of Fire Commissioners, we
wish, to express our sincere appreciation for the
cooperation and support we have received from the
citizens of Lansing, the Mayor and his staff, city
council, department administration and the members
of firefighter Local #421.
The quest for excellence is on -going and requires
the continued cooperation of all involved, to provide
the City of Lansing with a fire service second
to none.

CHAPLAIN
REV. JAMES A. SCHALKHAUSER
Chaplain
REPORT OF THE CHAPLAIN, JAMES A. SCHALIKHAUSER
LANSING FIRE DEPARTMENT
for the year, 1988`
The functions, of the Fire Department Chaplain include being available to
the personnel' of.the Department and their families as a friend,
advocate, and counselor. The Chaplain helps to provide the emotional
and spiritual resources which are needed by those who work to protect
the lives and property of others and by those who care for the sick,
injured, and dying in emergency situations. The Chaplain is also called
on to serve the citizens of the Lansing community by offering comfort
and assistance. in times of tragic personal loss due to fire or accident.
In the course of my activities during 1988, I visited Department
personnel, both active and retired, who were hospitalized or who were
recuperating at home from illness or injury. I counseled with membera
of the Department, officiated at funeral services for retired personnel
and'at services for members of the families of active personnel. I'
attended special functions and events in an official capacity, and I
assisted in the annual recognition of firefighters who have lost their
lives in the line of duty. This memorial observance was heldat the
grave of the "unknown firefighter" in. Mt. Hope Cemetery on Memorial Day
weekend.
My duties have also included providing a four-hour class for new
recruits as a part of their training program. The special focus of this
class was the emotional and psychological stress created by this kind of
work. Emphasis was put on the importance of recognizing the
psychological impact of critical.incidents on emergency services
providers and on the ways. of appropriately coping with the stress,these
events create.
In January, 1988, I presented in-service training for officers in the
Department. "Critical Incident Stress" and its short and long term
effects were examined. Officers were helped to recognize the symptoms
of critical incident or job -related stress in personnel. They were also
instructed in ways to help afflicted persons and, if necessary, direct
them to professional counseling services.
I thank the members of the Department, the administrative staff, and
Fire Commissioners for their continuing support and encouragement. It
is a•special privilege to be able to help those who are committed to
protecting and caring for the citizens of this community.

FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU
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 enhanced by the use of films 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 material.s acquired from fire scenes were also
used as examples.
Public. fire education has again become a most important part of
Fire Prevention. Fire Safety programs were presented to over
4,200 residents in the City with the use of films, " Pluggie" the
fire hydrant and a'variety of handout materials.
The Public. Education Section is, working with department and
school administration on the implementation of "Learn Not to
Burn" curriculum. It is our hope that in the near future fire
education will be taught throughout the school year in
Kindergarten through Grade 12.
HOSPITAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
The personnel of all hospitals, major convalescent homes, and
senior citizen buildings are involved in your -round fire
prevention programs.,
This starts with in 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 A
these hazards, and what to do should a fire occur.
This if 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 at the scene. A critique
is held with the supervisory personnel after the drill. These
drills are held on all work shifts.
52
Fire Prevention Activities - Continued
All hospitals, convalescent homes, nursing homes and senior
citizen resident buildings are inspected at least once a year.__
All corrections must be made before their annual license is
i.ssued.
New evacuation plans were implemented in buildings that had
extensive remodeling.
INDUSTRIAL AND MERCANTILE PROGRAMS
Evacuation plans are being evaluated, and when necessary new ones
being established for'all large buildings. Inspections, as well
as fire safety programs, were presented to their employees.
A class was also present to their employees regarding the proper
use of fire extinguishers, fire brigade training was provided for
large.facilities and evacuation drills were carried out. Pre -
fire planning is a necessary ongoing program..
SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Each school is inspected once a year. The Fire Prevention Bureau
provides programs for special classes - home economics,
government and "Career Day". All public and parochial schools
participate in our programs.
Our "Thank you" goes out to retired East Lansing Firefighter Sam
Gingrich, well known at "Fireman Sam". Each year Sam presents
fire safety programs - to preschool., nursery school and
kindergarten children, not only in Lansing, but surrounding
areas. In 1988 Sam presented 47 programs in Lansing, with the
total. attendance of 821 children.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 1982
The Fire Prevention Bureau distributed literature and posters to
all local schools, and fire drills were -held in these buildings.
Fire drills were also held in al-1 state buildings. These drills
were held. with the cooperation of the Division of Management and
Budget, Emergency Safety Section of the State of Michigan.
Evacuation plans had been set up
convalescent homes and other
evacuation plans were conducted,
and tested. In all hospitals,
facilities, fire drills and
as well as in-service classes.
53
Fire Prevention Activities - Continued
Fire extinguisher programs were held at many business sites. The
owners furnish the extinguishers and recharge services. This.
also assures the owner's fire extinguishers are serviced and are
up-to-date.
Members of the Fire Prevention Bureau made personal appearances
on both local television stations and several local radio
stations during the week of October 9-15. McDonald's Restaurant
personnel, City officials, and area fire departments participated
in the "Chief For a Day" program at Station #1. Each McDonald's
Restaurant was represented by a student from their respective
areas as "Chief".
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 HOME SAFETY SURVEY
Home fire safety surveys were conducted year round upon request.
Surveys are FREE asa courtesy, and advice was given regarding
fire hazards found and preventative methods discussed with the.
owner or occupant.
Members of the bureau conducted joint surveys with the large
complex manager -operators. Surveys were made with written
permission from the occupants.. Fire hazards found were abated.
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Inspections were conducted and fire safety programs were
presented at Federal, State and City buildings. Fire drills were
conducted and a critique was held after the drills.
OPEN HOUSE
The Lansing Fire Department maintains an open house policy for
those who wish to visit a fire station and take pictures. In
1988 approximately 1,874 students and 409 adults have been
visitors to fire stations.

Extinquishing these fires required the use of 243,325 feet of
fire hose for an average of 667 feet per day. A total of 6,458
feet of ladders were used for an average of 124 feet per week.
343 12' X 14' salvage covers were spread at these fires to

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
All personnel in this Division spent many hours of research and in meetings
to formulate the new Hazardous Materials lesson plan in conjunction with the
formation of the Lansing Emergency Planning Committee (L.E.P.C.) Hazardous
Material Team. A. report was compiled of all Hazardous Material training
completed by department personnel. Thirty-one. L.F.D. personnel tried out
for and have been accepted to be part of the Lansing Fire Department Hazardous
Material Team. The Hazardous Material library was added to this year, and
one complete set of texts and reference materials was sent to the Hazardous
Material Room at #1 Station. The Haz-Mat truck was *cleaned and inventoried
by Team Members, and the equipment was transferred to new Squad 3. . Some
of the Team Members visted N. Muskegon, Troy, Wyandotte and Bay City Fire
Departments to gather information concerning other Hazardous Materials Teams
in the state. A lesson plan was developed, and 20 books were completed for
the 'Pilot' Hazardous Materials Level 1 class. Deward Beeler of the Michigan
State Firefighters Training Council attended the class and evaluated Captain
D. Miller (approved as an Instructor). Requests/applications were made to
the National Fire Academy for Hazardous Materials, Chemistry and C.A.M.E.O.
classes for the Haz-Mat Team, and C.A.M.E.O. classes for E. Petersen.. Members
of this Division also tested jumpsuits that were being considered for the
Hazardous Material. Team members. D.O.T. Emergency Response Guidebooks were
distributed from this office (per the Michigan State Firefighters Training
Council) for all Fire Departments in Ingham County. They were also placed
in each of our stations. NIOSH Guides wers also placed on all apparatus.
EQUIPMENT
Two new Televisions were received for the classroom to replace the old used
ones received from the warehouse years ago. 'Rescue Randy'was received
for many aspects of training. 10 new VCR's were received and 9 of them were
placed in the stations for In -Station Video schooling (see Continuing Education).
The: Telephone system was upgraded to meet the needs of this Division. Tower
security was reinforced (chain and padlock placed on fire escape, and external
balcony doors hasped and locked from inside) due to several Breaking and
Entering's of the tower. Electrical problems with the tower lights and the
outside lights were repaired by Alarm Division. Consumers Power replaced
the gas meter. Tower damage (bad morter) has resulted in limited use of
the. North West outside area of the tower. The sink holes (South of the fence)
were filled by Public Service for safety reasons. The drains were raised
(West side of tower) and the areas resurfaced to allow for better drainage,
and the dead end drain between the office and tower was rerouted and the
73
area resurfaced to reduce 'accidents due to ice formation. This Division
also received a 2nd Van to replace the car, for transportation of recruits,
manpower at large fires, etc. The copy machine use increased due to Hazardous
Material lesson plans, Captains books and the updated PIP (Pre -Incident Planning)
format.

The Lansing Fire Department Honor Guard is comprised of 20 men
with a desire *to show proper and full respect to a fellow
firefighter who has died, whether it be in the line of duty death
or through other unfortunate circumstances.
The main fuction 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 surrounding areas that have died in the line of duty,
either performing Honor Guard duties, or as representatives of
the Lansing Fire Department.
'With money- through the combined efforts of all 20 men 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 1988 the Honor Guard attended 8 Fire Department
related funerals, as well as providing services at Mt. Hope
cemetery for the annual Memorial service for the Unknown Fireman,
and Memorial services for the Michigan Fire Chief's Convention.
The Honor Guard is governed by a 6 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.
The members currently on the Honor Guard are as follows:
