San Diego City Firefighters take pay and benefit cuts Posted: 15 Apr 2009 07:14 AM PDT City Reaches Agreement With Three Employee Unions Impasse Declared With Police And Maintenance Union Workers SAN DIEGO -- Three of the five unions representing San Diego city employees agreed Tuesday to pay and benefit cuts while the City Council imposed contracts on the other two unions. The San Diego Municipal Employees Association, San Diego City Firefighters Local 145 and the Deputy City Attorneys Association reached the tentative agreements, which need to be ratified by their members. Contracts were imposed on the Police Officers Association and AFSCME Local 127, which represents the city government's blue collar workers. The city was seeking pay and benefit cuts in an effort to avoid layoffs and close a $60 million budget shortfall in the budget for the coming fiscal year, an aide to Mayor Jerry Sanders said. The firefighters union agreed to about $5.8 million in pay and benefit cuts, according to city negotiations. Specifics of the contracts with the other four unions were immediately known. A marathon City Council hearing which ultimately declared an impasse with the Police Officers Association and AFSCME Local 127 municipal unions ended after 10 p.m. Sanders has asked the city's approximately 10,500 employees to accept a 6 percent across-the-board cut to pay and benefits. To avoid having to lay off hundreds of city employees, the labor unions need to agree to cut compensation. Earlier Tuesday, several hundred city workers rallied outside San Diego City Hall to protest a breakdown in labor negotiations. Workers -- primarily represented by SDMEA -- marched around City Hall blowing whistles and chanting "Fair is fair" and "We work hard." The protesters, who also included several dozen San Diego city firefighters, carried signs that read "A promise is a promise"; "I've been Jerry slandered"; "Pete Wilson promised -- Jerry Sanders taketh"; and "We already gave at the bargaining table."

Washington: Wildfire season declared - Summer fire rules are in effect from April 15 through Oct. 15 Posted: 15 Apr 2009 06:19 AM PDT Washington wildfire season officially begins Wildfire season officially begins restrictions for workers and recreational visitors April 15 through October 15 OLYMPIA – Consistent with state law, Washington's wildfire season begins tomorrow. Public Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark urges all Washingtonians to help prevent wildland and forest fires. "With fire season upon us, we want to remind people how quickly vegetation can dry out and then carry fire if ignited," said Commissioner Goldmark. "With help from everyone, the damage and expense of wildfires this year can be reduced significantly." "This is the time of year when people should be assessing their property and taking steps to develop defensible space around their homes," said Commissioner Goldmark. "The key is to take actions before there is actual risk from a wildfire." Seventeen forest fires have already been reported this year on lands protected by DNR. Last year, ninety-three percent of wildfires on lands protected by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) were contained at less than 10 acres in size. A total of more than 76,076 acres (20,000 square miles) burned all across Washington, about 119 square miles in total. Washington's summer fire rules Washington's "summer fire rules" are in effect April 15 through October 15. These rules apply to the 12.7 million acres of private and state forest lands protected from wildfire by DNR. These regulations affect loggers, firewood cutters, land clearers, road builders, bulldozer operators, off-road motorcyclists, and others. During fire season, people using motorized equipment in the woods must have approved spark arrester's and follow fire safety precautions. Restrict cigarette smoking in forested areas to roads, gravels pits, or other clearings. Prohibit lighting fireworks on forestland. In addition, those working in the woods must have fire prevention and extinguishing equipment at the job site, in good working order, with staff trained in its proper use. Woods workers and industrial forest users also must observe Industrial Fire Precaution Levels, which may change daily and which classify varying levels of fire danger in different parts of the state. More information is available from the following sources: DNR's website at http://www.dnr.wa.gov . Click on Fire & Burning Regulations to review regional precaution levels, a map of current shutdown zones, and a copy of DNR's Industrial Fire Precaution Level Bulletin. DNR's toll-free business line at 1-800-527-3305 plays a message identifying daily industrial fire precaution levels, which are listed by geographical region. The hearing impaired can phone Telephone Device for the Deaf at 1-800-833-6388. DNR e-mail at RPD@dnr.wa.gov . Ask questions or request a copy of DNR's Industrial Fire Precaution Level Bulletin or additional information on safe outdoor burning of forest debris and safe recreational campfire tips. Firewise: Wildfire community assistance With Washington State Department of Natural Resources help, more forest landowners and communities are better prepared for wildfires each year. Forty communities completed wildfire protection plans. Twenty-seven communities have received national recognition for their fire prevention efforts through the Firewise Communities USA program. With DNR's assistance last year, 60 fire districts acquired Wildfire Personal Protective Equipment that increases their capability to suppress wildfires while they are small in their communities. DNR's four fire prevention teams are dispatched at the times and places of greatest fire danger in the state. These teams save money, natural resources, and lives by focusing fire prevention efforts when and where they are most effective. DNR's wildfire mission Administered by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, DNR is responsible for preventing and fighting wildfires on 12.7 million acres of private, state and tribal-owned forestlands. DNR is the state's largest on-call fire department, with over a thousand employees trained and available to be dispatched to fires as needed. During fire season, this includes over seven hundred DNR employees who have other permanent jobs with the agency and about 375 seasonal workers. Additionally, Department of Correction inmates participate in the DNR correctional camps program. DNR also participates in Washington's coordinated interagency approach to firefighting.

CAL FIRE drops demand for $2.9 million from charity Posted: 15 Apr 2009 06:09 AM PDT Carousel Ranch bill for Buckweed Fire goes up in smoke CalFire rescinds its demand for $2.9 million in Buckweed Fire costs State fire officials Monday backed down from their demand for $2.9 million from Carousel Ranch, a local children's-aid charity. The change of heart came after local elected officials went to bat for the Agua Dulce organization, which was billed for the cost of fighting the October 2007 Buckweed Fire. "This is fabulous news," said Carousel Ranch's director Denise Tomey minutes after she heard CalFire was rescinding its letter on Monday. "That means we are no longer being held responsible," Tomey said. "We've been very (stressed) over what something like that could to do our organization." Carousel Ranch is a charity that provides therapy for more than 90 handicapped children through specialized interaction with horses. The organization received a letter from The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection on March 26 demanding $2.9 million to cover the cost of fighting the Buckweed Fire. Tomey called upon state Sen. George Runner, R-Lancaster, and Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, R-Santa Clarita, for help, as she believed the ranch was not responsible for the fire. Following an earlier meeting with the representatives, a CalFire spokeswoman confirmed Monday evening the department would rescind its letter. The fire destroyed 21 homes in the Santa Clarita Valley and ravaged more than 38,000 acres, mostly in Saugus and Canyon Country, in October 2007. It was accidentally started Oct. 21 by the 10-year-old son of a ranch employee. In November 2007, the county District Attorney's office decided not to file charges against the boy, who was playing with matches during winds as high as 70 mph. "We were closed, we had no control, it wasn't a child from our program, it wasn't our employee and it wasn't on the property," Tomey said Thursday. Tomey said in 2007 the fire's origin was 30 feet off the property. A CalFire legislation official met with Smyth's Deputy Chief of Staff Kevin O'Neill and Runner's Deputy Chief of Staff Will Smith in Sacramento on Monday afternoon. O'Neill and Smith presented a letter jointly signed by Smyth and Runner requesting CalFire look deeper into the situation and extend the 30-day deadline to pay the $2.9 million. "Basically, based on preliminary reports, so-called letters of demand are sent to any party that we in good faith believe may be potentially liable for starting a fire. This is done in efforts to recover taxpayer dollars that are spent in suppressing fires," said Janet Upton, a CalFire spokeswoman. "In this particular case, information that would typically be brought forth during the litigation process was brought to light early in a letter that the ranch sent to elected representatives Senator Runner and Assemblyman Smyth. In response to their inquiry to us, the letter of demand will be rescinded." Smyth said CalFire was quick to respond to concerns. "We just had the meeting ... and obviously, we conveyed that going after a nonprofit like Carousel Ranch was definitely not the best course of action," he said Monday. "They agreed, to their credit." "When a nonprofit has made such a tremendous commitment and done so much for the community ... for them to be caught in the middle of something like this is not right and we're happy we could help out," Smyth said. Runner said while he supports keeping individuals accountable for creating an expense to the state, that "was certainly not the case here." "I think in their view, rightfully so, on paper it kind of met some criteria they had. But once they understood the issue and the facts, they saw that it was the right thing to do," Runner said. Tomey said she is grateful to Smyth and Runner's office for their help. "That's certainly (the outcome) we were hoping for," she said.

South Lake County Fire receive new OES engine Posted: 14 Apr 2009 02:43 PM PDT From left, paid call Engineer Bob Cummesky, Fire Marshal Dave Miinch, paid call Firefighter Dave Watkins and Battalion Chief Jim Wright. Courtesy photo. MIDDLETOWN – The South Lake County Fire Protection District has a new piece of equipment in its arsenal. On April 8, the district took delivery of a new Office of Emergency Services engine identified as OES-359. This new engine was provided to the South Lake County Fire Protection District to utilize in response to California's ever-increasing threat of fire and earthquake related emergencies. The Office of Emergency Services provides the engine free of charge with the agreed upon understanding that should a catastrophic emergency arise within the State of California the South Lake County Fire Protection District will provide the staffing needed to respond. The fire district can use the engine to augment its existing apparatus inventory in an effort to quell the threat of fire and other related emergencies locally. "Our Fire District has been providing this needed staffing since 1971 upon signing our first agreement with Office of Emergency Services," said Fire Marshal Dave Miinch. "Much appreciation goes out to our paid call fire staff who answer the call of duty when an emergency arises in the state of California. Several times each year this engine will be called upon to respond to emergencies and without the help of our Paid Call Fire Staff that wouldn't be possible." This most recent delivery provided what is known as a Type I Fire Engine and a Type III Urban Search and Rescue Unit. The new unit has the capability of delivering 1,250 gallons a minute with a tank capacity of 850 gallons of water. It carries specialized equipment, which can be utilized in the search and rescue of victims during earthquake emergencies and other related disasters. "It's one of the finest pieces of rescue apparatus I've seen in my fire service career of 22 years," said Miinch. "The California Office of Emergency Services should be commended for providing such a quality piece of fire apparatus to protect the people of California from the threat of fire and other related disasters."

SAR NEWS: New Hampshire - Two Climbers ride avalanche 800 feet down Mt. Washington Posted: 14 Apr 2009 10:45 AM PDT "Injuries included a broken pinky finger, a sprained ankle, a bruised pelvis, and various lacerations and abrasions." Two men ride avalanche 800 feet down Mt. Washington April 14, 2009 Noon (Globe File Photo) By Martin Finucane, Globe Staff A Massachusetts man and his climbing partner were caught in an avalanche and tumbled about 800 feet down a slope on Tuckerman Ravine at New Hampshire's Mount Washington last weekend but sustained only minor injuries, US Forest Service rangers said. Tim Finocchio of Holbrook and Daniel Zucker of Danville, Vt., were "incredibly fortunate," the rangers said in an incident summary by the forest service's Mount Washington Avalanche Center. "Ironically, the avalanche which caused their fall likely helped protect them from more significant injuries as they probably rode on the debris cushion to their resting point. � That they were able to walk themselves down from an incident such as this is remarkable to say the least," the report said. Finocchio and Zucker, who were described in the report as "athletic and experienced mountaineers," were climbing Saturday in an area known as "Dodge's Drop" when they were enveloped by the avalanche, the report said. The avalanche carried them over a small cliff (Zucker told rangers it felt like he was airborne for "three heartbeats") and then into a treed slope below, where they came to rest on top of the snow in the trees. "They managed to pass through the rocky section of the fall unscathed, with the injuries being sustained only after being carried into the trees," the rangers reported. The men, whose injuries included a broken pinky finger, a sprained ankle, a bruised pelvis, and various lacerations and abrasions, were taken to a ranger cabin where they were more thoroughly assessed and treated, then back to their car so they could drive to a local hospital, the report said. Neither Finocchio nor Zucker could immediately be reached for comment. Source: Boston.com - Link

ECCFPD: East Contra Costa Fire Protection District - LAFCO - EMS - MSR Posted: 14 Apr 2009 10:31 AM PDT Contra Coastal LAFCO initiated a countywide fire and emergency medical services (EMS) Municipal Service Review (MSR). Bottom Line: ECCFPD provides minimally adequate service levels. ECCFPD staffs fire stations with two personnel per station regardless of whether a station is located in an urban area or outlying town; by contrast, four personnel per apparatus is the recommended urban staffing level. The District does not offer paramedic services. Response times meet certain guidelines some of the time, but fall short of meeting guidelines 90 percent of the time. The report from this review became available in April 2009. What: Municipal Service Review - MSR is a comprehensive study designed to better inform LAFCO, local agencies, and the community about the provision of municipal services. Service reviews capture and analyze information about the governance structures and efficiencies of service providers and identify opportunities for greater coordination and cooperation between providers. The MSR is a prerequisite to a Sphere of Influence determination and may also lead a LAFCO to take other actions under its authority. The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) was formed in 2002 as a county-dependent district through the consolidation of the Bethel Island, East Diablo and Oakley fire districts. Included in the ECCFPD are the cities of Oakley, Brentwood, a portion of Antioch and Clayton, the unincorporated communities of Bethel Island, Byron, Discovery Bay, Knightsen, and other areas of unincorporated Contra Costa, 238 square miles. The District's staff consists of 55 full-time staff and 25 paid on-call staff. The sworn permanent staff includes 53 full-time equivalents (FTEs), and the civilian staff is composed of two FTEs. The Fire Chief is responsible for organizational productivity and accountability, and is directly responsible for finance and personnel. The District is organized into divisions for operations, administration, EMS and training, and fire prevention. Three battalion chiefs report directly to the Fire Chief; battalion chiefs are responsible for operations, fleet, training, and reserves. The District provides EMS services until AMR, a privately-owned ambulance company, arrives to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) and ambulance transport services. The District contracts with ConFire for dispatch, radio, information and fire prevention services. ECCFPD contracts with CAL FIRE to provide fire protection service to the Marsh Creek area of the District. Some observation made in the report: ECCFPD relies on property taxes for 94 percent of its revenue, and receives a below average share of property taxes compared with other fire districts in the County. Its share of property taxes (net of redevelopment) is seven percent in Brentwood, five percent in Oakley, and nine percent in unincorporated areas; by comparison, the average fire district share was 12 percent in incorporated areas and 13 percent in unincorporated areas. There are no feasible opportunities whereby the District would elicit a portion of the property tax share received by other local agencies (e.g., the cities, the County or the schools). Residential population growth in the ECCFPD boundary is projected to be significantly faster than the countywide average. Brentwood is projected to be the fastest-growing city in the County. Growth in Oakley is projected to be on par with neighboring Antioch and Pittsburg. Residential growth areas include Trilogy at the Vineyards, Rose Garden, Palmilla, Cypress Corridor, the Lakes and Cecchini Ranch in Discovery Bay, Byron Airport, and Delta Coves in Bethel Island. In the long-term, growth is expected to increase the population from 106,386 in 2008 to 158,515 in 2030. Commercial growth is also projected to be significantly faster in ECCFPD compared with the countywide average. Oakley and Brentwood are projected to have the highest job creation rates in the County, outpacing neighboring Antioch and Pittsburg. In the longterm, growth is expected to increase the job base from 17,480 in 2008 to 34,251 in 2030. The District's facility needs have evolved rapidly in the last decade due to consolidation of formerly separate fire districts, a shift from on-call to staffed stations in much of the service area, and rapid growth. There are as many stations and personnel serving the Discovery Bay and Byron area (with a combined population of about 13,368 and 673 annual service calls) as the cities of Oakley and Brentwood (with a combined population of about 84,000 and 3,500 annual service calls). A number of the fire stations are no longer strategically located to minimize both costs and response times. At a minimum, FS 54, FS 58 and FS 93 (Oakley) are not strategically located. In the urban areas, ECCFPD provides minimally adequate service levels. ECCFPD staffs fire stations with two personnel per station regardless of whether a station is located in an urban area or outlying town; by contrast, four personnel per apparatus is the recommended urban staffing level. The District does not offer paramedic services. Response times meet certain guidelines some of the time, but fall short of meeting guidelines 90 percent of the time. ECCFPD's staffing level of 0.5 sworn staff per 1,000 people is substantially lower than the countywide average (0.8), as well as the Bay Area average for urban fire providers (0.9). Based on staff certification levels, ECCFPD staff credentials and skills appear to be adequate. Training hours per sworn staff member are lower than the countywide average.

This law established a commission in each county responsible for overseeing most forms of local government boundary change, including incorporation, annexations, and special district formations. In the interest of more orderly development, LAFCOs were to act a judges of boundary disputes among governments and communities. Since 1963, numerous changes have been made to the law, culminating in the current Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act of 2000, operative January 1, 2001.

CAL FIRE - Atwater contract - Average response time - 3 minutes and 44 seconds Posted: 14 Apr 2009 10:04 AM PDT "Report showed that over a six-month period Cal Fire's times beat those of the Atwater Fire Department." Atwater puts to rest Cal Fire concerns By JONAH OWEN LAMB jlamb@mercedsun-star.com The Atwater City Council resolved the concerns of some council members' over Cal Fire's effectiveness in a unanimous vote on Monday night. The impetus behind these concerns came mainly from council member Gary Frago. In early March, Frago asked Cal Fire for a comparison of the response times of the former Atwater Fire Department and Cal Fire. Frago also asked city staff to explain the steps needed to terminate Atwater's contract with Cal Fire. Frago voted against the contract with Cal Fire, which started in October 2008. Ed Banks, Cal Fire's Atwater battalion chief, presented the report on response times to the city. His report showed that over a six-month period Cal Fire's times beat those of the Atwater Fire Department. For instance, the average response time for the 585 emergency medical calls that Cal Fire responded to was three minutes and 44 seconds. For Atwater Fire the response time for 546 such calls was four minutes. For fires in the same period Cal Fire's average response time was three minutes and 57 seconds. For Atwater Fire the time was four minutes, although they did respond to almost three times as many calls. Frago's request for an idea of the cost and feasibility of ending the contract with Cal Fire was not responded to in writing, said Stan Feathers, the assistant city manager, since the staff would need more time. "What this projection does not include is an estimate of reconstructing a fire department that is run by the city of Atwater," he said. Such a move, said Feathers, would be challenging and contain some risk. The city would have to shell out for the initial start and he could not project those costs at present. It is estimated that the city will save $1.4 million over the next five years with Cal Fire. It was Frago who made the motion to accept the report and give staff no further instructions on the issue.

Breaking News: Sandra Cantu case update - Sunday school teacher murder charge would “likely” include molestation charges Posted: 14 Apr 2009 09:00 AM PDT Update: 4-14-09 AM - Molestation, lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, and Rape with a foreign object charges and enhancements being considered by District Attorney - Additional charges will be announced today. Formal charges have not been filed, but San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney Robert Himmelblau said Monday a murder charge against Huckaby would "likely" include the special circumstances of rape with a foreign object, lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and murder in the course of a kidnapping. A conviction on any of the special circumstances would make Huckaby eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole, Himmelblau said. The district attorney's office hasn't determined whether to seek the death penalty, he said. Huckaby, a mother of a 5-year-old and a neighbor of Sandra's, was arrested late Friday night. Sandra's body was found in a suitcase in an irrigation pond April 6. She went missing from her mobile home park community March 27, sparking a massive search. Tracy police Sgt. Tony Sheneman declined to comment on Himmelblau's comments. However, media sources who met with Himmelblau in person Monday said he confirmed that the additional charges would be announced today and said that because of the special circumstances charges, Huckaby would be eligible for the death penalty.

San Diego: Arsonist arrested for multiple arson fires Posted: 14 Apr 2009 09:04 AM PDT SAN DIEGO -- A man arrested last week in connection with several arson fires had a previous history of confrontations with San Diego Fire-Rescue Department personnel, authorities reported Monday. San Diego Police and investigators with MAST, the Metro Arson Strike Team, arrested the man in connection with multiple arson fires earlier this month in the North Park area. Police spokesperson, Mónica Muñoz identified the suspect as Joseph Benenati, 43, of University Heights. Benenati was arrested at his residence without incident. He was booked into San Diego Central Jail on 14 counts of arson, Muñoz said. The arsonist set a total of 15 fires during the early morning hours of Sunday, April 5, 2009. The worst damage was to a carport at 4536 Idaho St. that was ignited by a burning vehicle, he said. Damage was estimated at $10,000. Investigators said Monday that a Crime Stoppers tip and surveillance video from a business near one of the arson fires were instrumental in making the arrest. According to Fire Department officials, on April 3, 2009, Benenati was served with a 3 year injunction requested by the City of San Diego, requiring him to stay at least 100 yards away from personnel and facilities of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department and San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, the City ambulance provider. The legal action prompted after Benenati was involved in several confrontational incidents with ambulance personnel, one in which he brandished a weapon. Benenati is scheduled for arraignment in San Diego Superior Court on Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Source: News10 - Link
