HRFE is hiring for the role of District Chief: sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…

They have two openings at this time and are going to consider both internal and external applicants.

The two current vacancies are A Platoon, District 2, and C Platoon, District 3. However, I don't think it's guaranteed that these two hires will necessarily go into those open slots. We'll see what happens.

There was also a "District Chief" position assigned to headquarters at one time in the not too recent past but it appears they're going to leave that vacant.

A new project here at HRM Fire News.

"Problems impacting response times": a running list.

Getting the best and fastest response to residents on every call should be a prime goal of the fire department.

Unfortunately, through a variety of problems relating to how units are assigned, CAD, coverage, and the structure of dispatch, HRFE isn't achieving this goal.

This is a major problem impacting responses on a daily basis. It's often correctable but not getting enough attention.

So, I'm going to start a list in an effort to keep everyone informed. The list is just a start for now but I'll add to it over time, so they're all in one place, in the event anybody in a position of power ever decides to look into this stuff.

2:50pm 6 Engine (Spryfield) responding to a medical

If I heard correctly I think 6E said they’re responding from STN60. If that’s correct 5Q would be substantially closer on this (3 and 7 also). Mountain Rd

Yeah sounds like 6E is taking this in from STN60.....

They’re going to the Salvation Army on Gottingen for a report of a smell of smoke near the boiler room. 3E has ordered the balance of the alarm be paged. Update to follow.

They’ve added 2E only to the call. That is *not* the balance of the alarm. 3A, 4E, 12Tac, D2, and PCC would be the balance of the alarm but they have not been paged.
