I guess the next chief luttropp are you ready. Im ready. Good morning morgan. Vice president fraser. Commissioners nakajo, collins. Maureenful City Attorney, command staff im Darius Luttropp deputy chief operation and this is my report for february. Slide 4 suppression statistics for february, there were no greater alarm fires. In fact it was a quiet month. I come for you and say month over month it is may maintained the status quo. There were few fire in february. In the set of statistic there is is a fire that could have been pulled out and leveled a second alarm and told a wonderful story about an explosion in a shed that lit 3 buildingos fire this is the w they do but Operations Division is fantastic they feign tained the fire on Treasure Island to single alarm and same last night with chief yee i thought it would go to second alarm tell not be one i will report next month temperature came close. The work in bad conditions is fantastic. But with that in minds, i did pull another single day from february statistics on the next slide. So, it is going to be a difficult budget cycle. It is a time when the Fire Department will find itself under pressure to show its work. Difficult when we have to wish harm on the citizenry and say, you know, it is not a good thing there were not fires i will claim it is a good thing there were no great alarm fire in San Francisco thanks to the work of the fire marshall and work of operations people. So lets pull this day. 2424 was a storm day. From this slide you see that on that day. We ran 733 calls for service as the firefighter in the city of San Francisco. Which is over our baseline, nonstorm related calls 373 is a normal day and added 360 calls to this. The Fire Department serves as the department of left resort for all. Not just from the emergency medical point of view and some suffering from a medical crisis not just from a Fire Suppression when there is a fire this needs to put out that does not extend to other parts of the city. When our per nirs at public works and the department of Emergency Management and with any other city agency find themselves against the wall and need help as in the case of this storm day, with wires and trees down, flooding, extra vehicular accidents in the street. Where they find resource stretched. We find them stretches the Fire Department answer the call. Doubled our volume in a day it was difficult day for membership that is the resourcing that is required and will continue to be required for the eventual bad day. The earthquake. For the fire that nobody saw coming. Spreading throughout richmond district. I just wanted highlight this day to you. And remind everyone that it is not only the second alarm fires that show the worth of the agency or work of defining the division that show worth we are here every day doing this work. Next slide. So, the other thing is something the chief covered. Which was the demonstration of a new piece of Operations Equipment this. Is a tough direction i can steel thunder of administration and bureau and support service because they built it and acquired it. I will track about the operations piece. On 22924 on a splashy day. The dueiest of mornings we were out and kaenlsed it twice for wind and rain and went on with the demonstration and some of the stall works were there commissioner nakajo was there. President supervisor peskin was there. And member ting was there. Supervisor engardio was there. Many showed and put on a great show. So the capabilities that the new host tender brings it is replacing what you see below it. The old style hose tendser was the hose cart with 6,000 feet of hose and appliances necessary to do above ground portable water supply system. An augment to the emergency firefighter watering system or High Pressure hide rasystem. Now they got a new and improved. We have gone from the moss of hose cart to a quite substantial pumper and the ability to move water. The hoses coming off of the hose tendser this dem strigz, there are 8 inch suction hoses. Ability to draw in the range of 8,000 gallons a minute using that. Can push about 5,000 gallons a minute. The yellow box next to it, that is a portable submersible pump that will pump 3,000 gallons by itself. Once this is put in operation, you can see that the stroll it is able to deploy from the device. It can put out a tremendous amount of fire use immediate a single warehouse fire in that mode as long as it had a water supply. If you look at the large hose next to it in the ground. It becomes a supply for this large above ground system. For the demonstration we were able to employ the monitor nozzle on the hose tender and able to put in to operation above grounds system and flow 3 devices from two engines and one ladder pipe and demonstrated its worth. This system allows us from a water source to have a radius of over a mile from that spot this we can supply effectively. The advantage of this, is this is a mobile resource can be used in the city. Talk about quartered initial low versus pipes in the street, which is risen so dramatically in cost we addressed with chief mill and merge response, they gone from 15 Million Dollars a mile of pipe to 43 Million Dollars a mile of pipe essential in a year period of time that is going to be a tremendous stricken on resource. If we can augment or replace with a more flexible system, the Fire Department is always about flexibility. Hose tend are one is in service at station 18. Third had delivered will go in service in bayview at station 17. Gives good coverage of the areas of the city not served by the High Pressure hide rasystem. And if any are need they deploy to the same location and the value of all 3 in the same place. That was another thing we did this month. Back to my basic report. I will go to bureau of Fire Prevention and investigation. Our busiest bureaus and divisions. On page 11, the fire marshall was nice enough to put the sunshine record in for the last year. The fire marshall and i had an interesting experience left week in february. I will call it february. Called before the Sunshine Ordinance Task force. We were only there for 4 hours. Ken . 4 hours . Something like that. Anyway, gave us insight into the reporting requirements and how city agencies interact with the body they had 838 Public Information requests last year. It is a burden on the agency. City attorney gave us a lot of great guidance. I dont see this problem diminishing. I see it accelerating over time there are more requests for interactions with mt a and companies and baseline interactions with medical and fire reports employmented highlight that this mont. On page 14. Pulling out of the community out reach. There was an item i wanted highlight, which is a Public Education banned for lithium ion batteries. This is part of the ordinance that fire marshall prepared. Beyond just prescribe being new rules for storage. Charging, what types of batteries can be approved and inside in the city. It is a Public Educational campaign to make sure everybody is aware of it. This is being rolled out as we speak. On page 16 and 17, the fire marshall add a new project to the report. And this is dot map of outside fire reports includes just the month reporting on february 2024 and has last year. It is in the a surprising pap. You see the concentration of the outside fires. Coding for the fires has been in flux between encampment fire, outside fire, trash, we are working on the reporting system. Attach is be updated. We are try to get our numbers to make more sense so we have better reporting to the board of supervisors the fire marshall and i have been in meetings with t
