Interim Fire Chief’s Statement

It is with great pleasure that we provide you with the Manteca Fire Department’s Annual Report

which outlines the activities of the Manteca Fire Department for the period of January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. Once again this year, the Manteca Fire Department worked diligently to keep pace with the growing and ever-changing complexion of our community. We have attempted to move forward progressively always mindful of the needs of our community. Within this Annual Report, you will find specific information on the activities, programs, and accomplishments of our four Divisions: Administration, Operations, Training/Safety, and Fire Prevention. We are honored to highlight a few of the Department’s major accomplishments during 2007.

The Department hired the first three Public Safety Sales Tax (Measure M) employees on June 11th in preparation for staffing the new Truck Company planned to arrive in October 2008 that will be placed in service in April of 2009.

The Department was awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant for our Public

Education Safety Trailer in April 2007. The new trailer has enhanced the Department’s ability to provide hands-on fire safety training and target school-aged children - a goal of the Manteca Fire Department and United States Fire Administration (USFA)

Continued progress was made on the City Disaster Preparedness Plan throughout 2007. The stakeholders

within the City convened and developed a comprehensive disaster management program identifying roles and responsibilities and the training requirements of all City employees. Federal and State mandated classes were held within the City on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Standardize Emergency Management System (SEMS).

In 2007, the State of California adopted the 2006 International Fire Code, with 2007 California

Amendments. The Manteca Fire Department adopted the 2007 California Fire Code with our local Manteca Municipal Code requirements. This was the first time in 6 years that the state has adopted a new code. The community will benefit from these new codes designed to enhance life safety.



The Department developed specifications for a new 100 foot aerial ladder truck and will take delivery in October 2008. This unique and invaluable fire apparatus will provide all our needs to perform rescue in high rise structures, including the ability to gain access to any roof in Manteca in order to conduct vertical ventilation activities with the goal of confining the fire, saving lives and reducing property damage. In addition, the Department developed specifications for two new 1500 gpm pumpers and will take delivery on both units in April 2008. One of these engines was purchased to operate out of the new Station 4 building due to open some time in 2009. These replacement engines will ensure our ability to operate state-of-the art equipment enhancing our performance and overall effectiveness.

The Department purchased and implemented enhanced software technology (FireView™ software) as a tool

to help review existing deployment policies and develop new strategies. FireView integrates Fire and EMS data with GIS, allowing agencies to easily map and analyze data. By identifying incident patterns and response effectiveness, resources can be more optimally redeployed. In addition, the FireHouse™ Report Management software was expanded into the Fire Prevention area to better manage the building occupancies and inspection data. This allows information to be accessible Department wide, while looking toward the future when this data will be accessible in the field by Inspectors, Engine Company Officers and Incident Commanders.

As a testament to the character of the employees of the Manteca Fire Department, our firefighters

responded to 7 major wildland fires across the state this past year. Manteca Firefighters were sent to the devastating Lake Tahoe fires in July. They made a significant difference in the lives of several families in the week they were there. On one of the deployments to Southern California in October, Manteca Firefighters worked 38 hours straight and saved more than 50 homes at the Witch Fire in Pomona. This same crew was featured on the Today Show with Matt Lauer. These are examples of how the dedicated firefighters of this Department are willing to help citizens in need, no matter where we may be needed.

And finally, our sincere thanks to the Mayor, City Council and City Manager for their support and guidance, without which we would be unable to provide our high level of service. On a more personal note, I would also like to thank the Administrative Staff, Career and Reserve firefighters, and SAFE members for the outstanding work they do every day for you, our neighbors and friends. Yours in Service, Chris Haas Interim Fire Chief

PROGRAMS



Emergency Medical Services Program by Engineer Mike Hohn Emergency Medical Services (EMS) incidents continue to be the most frequent emergency response made by Manteca

firefighters. In fact, EMS incidents made up 65% of all emergencies the department responded to for the year. This year showed a steady increase of medical related emergency responses from previous years and remained a primary area of focus for the departmental training program. The Manteca Fire Department currently employs 33 line personnel, 30 are trained as EMT-1’s, and three are trained as EMT-Paramedics. The Command Staff and Fire Prevention Bureau also have five EMT-1’s and two EMT-Paramedics. All Reserve personnel are also EMT-1’s, with the exception of recently hired Reserves who are required to complete EMT training as a condition of their employment. EMS training is provided by the department for 15 to 20 hours a year per employee, with additional in-house study time and daily company training. Manteca Firefighters respond to a variety of EMS calls. For example, calls vary from lifting an uninjured

fall victim, to engaging in CPR efforts to patients in full cardiac arrest. In 2007, there were a total of 24 calls for cardiac arrest involving CPR.

The Department was able to update its automatic external defibrillators with the addition of 10 LifePak 1000’s. These new defibrillators are smaller, lighter, and more customized for the changing requirements of the American Heart Association.

The graph on the next page illustrates the various EMS calls the

department responded to in 2007. This breakdown gives our EMS instructors a more specific idea of the types of calls to which our department responds. Consequently, instructors can develop more customized lesson plans for the training of our personnel, allowing us to be better prepared for the needs of our community.



Cardiac - 36413%

Pulmonary - 53419%

Altered LOC - 63723%

Diabetic - 1746%

Trauma - 63122%

Overdose - 1154%

Miscellaneous - 37813%

The graph below represents the diversity of emergencies firefighters treat.

Medical Patient Breakdown 2007

Cardiac: Problems directly affected by heart related emergencies (such as chest pain, and full arrest).

Pulmonary: Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and respiratory arrest.

Altered LOC: Emergencies related to altered mental status (such as dizziness and seizure).

Diabetic: Problems regarding abnormal blood sugar levels.

Trauma: Problems involving injuries as a result of physical force.

Overdose: Calls for overdose emergencies, whether intentional or unintentional.

Miscellaneous: Problems involving other impairments needing emergency care.



Training Program by Captain Dave Marques

The purpose of the training division is to maintain the skills of, and develop better techniques for

Manteca Firefighters to perform their job in a safe and efficient manner. The highest priority is training appropriate to the rank or specialized position within the department.

Training is delivered in three formats: In-service, sponsored and voluntary. In-Service training is conducted by company, or shift officers on a daily basis. Outside instructors may be used that have specialized skills in a particular subject area. This category of training, by far, accounted for the greatest number of hours. The 13,500 hours dedicated to in-service training reflects the commitment of the Manteca Fire Department to become and remain as highly trained as possible.

Outside training by department personnel is typically sponsored training. Many want to develop

skills beyond what our department is able to provide. Each member of the department is allotted an amount of time to attend these classes, if desired. This resulted in a total of 609 hours of training.

Voluntary training is the fire service related training not given or sponsored by the department.

Voluntary training reflects initiative and personal growth of members in the organization to seek additional opportunities to better prepare themselves for advancement and additional responsibilities. These very committed individuals accounted for 2,663 hours of training.

In addition to the regular monthly training, the Department also conducted a three week in-house academy for three new Firefighters. This training consisted of all types of fire service related skills. Each subject was taught by a different fulltime Firefighter who had exceptional knowledge in that specific field. The Manteca Fire Department will continue its commitment to keep firefighters trained to a level which meets the needs of this ever changing profession and the community it serves. This is evident by the number of hours spent on training this year, a total of 16,772 hours.

Fire Prevention by Fire Marshal Randy Sutton

This year’s data indicates two very interesting facts. Construction of new homes was relatively slow

in 2007, but the commercial growth in our city was higher than ever. With the increased growth of commercial development the Fire Prevention Bureau experienced an increase in the number of plan reviews, primary inspections, and public education presentations.

Recently the State of California adopted the 2006 International Fire Code, with 2007 California

Amendments. Consequently the Manteca Fire Department adopted the 2007 California Fire Code with our local Manteca Municipal Code requirements. This was the first time in six years that the state has adopted a new fire code. The new code is very different, so there will be a significant learning process that will take place over the next year. The Fire Prevention Division expects to complete a number of projects this coming year. Projects in the plan review or construction phase include: Bass Pro Shops, The Commons Care and Alzheimer Facility, the Prestige Living Center for Senior Citizens, The Woodbridge Recreation Center at Del Webb, Costco, JC Penny’s, Office Max, and many more. As the commercial construction intensifies, 2008 should be a very interesting and busy year.

The Fire Prevention Bureau is empowered to inspect all commercial structures annually for fire hazards. The goal of the Fire Inspection Program is to save lives, protect property, and to educate the public in fire safety. It is not the goal of the Fire Inspection Program to place an undue hardship on any business in the city. In most instances, fire code violations can be avoided by good housekeeping. Plans Review:

The Fire Department reviewed 399 commercial building plans in 2007. Included in those reviews were automatic fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, and commercial cooking fire suppression systems. Each building and system was inspected several times during the building process. The fire department also witnesses acceptance testing of all fire alarm and suppression systems to ensure that the systems will function as designed. Development Review Committee:

The Fire Department plays a key role in reviewing new subdivisions and commercial development within the City of Manteca. Some projects are submitted multiple times during sketch, preliminary and final plan design. The Fire Department also reviews annexation requests to identify potential development concerns.



Reserve Program by Engineer Sterrie McLeod The Program The Reserve Firefighter program is designed to supplement the career personnel. All Reserves are required to respond to major incidents to assist with fire ground activities. A minimum of 12 hours a month must be spent riding with the Engine Company, and Reserves are encouraged to ride more. Ride Time: 3328.75 Hours The ride time program allows the Reserve Firefighters to work alongside the career personnel. When doing ride time the reserves are expected to perform all of the same functions as a full time firefighter. Emergency Call Backs: 395.75 Hours The City of Manteca Fire Department greatly appreciates the prompt response to major incidents by our Reserve Firefighters. Their assistance plays a large role in the department’s efficiency and overall effectiveness. Training: 787 Hours The focus of training for the Reserve Firefighter is on basic firefighting and emergency medical skills. Drills are conducted on a weekly basis by the career personnel on a variety of topics. Every Reserve must be certified as an EMT-1 and California State Certified Firefighter after one year of service. Recruit Academy: 2220 Hours Approximately every two years, the City of Manteca Fire Department puts on an academy for new Reserve Firefighter Recruits. This year we hired 18 new reserves and put them through a 12-week recruit academy. The academy focuses on the California State Fire Marshal Firefighter 1 curriculum. The academy was a success and as of July the City of Manteca has 16 new Reserve Firefighters. Total hours worked by Reserve Firefighters in 2007: 6731.5 Reserves Moving Up The reserve program has created an excellent platform for Reserve Firefighters to become full time personnel. This year, Tedd Hunter, a long time reserve, was hired full time and Nick Haas who worked for Lathrop-Manteca Fire District, and who was a previous reserve, was also hired full time. Congratulations to both of them.



Hazardous Materials Program by Division Chief Randy May

The Hazardous Materials Program helps lessen injury and risk to our community by providing department personnel with a basic knowledge of how to mitigate hazardous materials incidents. All firefighting personnel are certified to the standard of Hazardous Materials First Responders at both the Operational and Decontamination levels. Additionally, seven department members are trained as Hazardous Materials Specialists and serve on the Regional Hazardous Materials Response Team. This is important to the City of Manteca as it allows the city to take advantage of Regional resources in the event an incident warrants it.

Today the problem with hazardous materials is greater than ever. With the ever changing materials

and their characteristics the challenge is to know what these products will do when exposed to the environment, especially in a fire situation. In a partnership with OES, Manteca Fire Department crews inspect all facilities and businesses in our city that have large amounts of hazardous materials at their location. A large variety of facilities are inspected during any given year. These facilities use or store products ranging from paints and thinners to exotic chemicals used in the manufacture of high-tech equipment components. Inspection of these facilities helps prevent an emergency event that would place our citizens and the environment at risk. We will continue to be pro-active in inspecting these facilities.

CPR Related Data

Classes Conducted Students Taught

CPR / Basic First Aid Program by Engineer Robert Villalovoz

The goal of the Manteca Fire Department’s CPR training is to provide individuals with the education and skills necessary to recognize an emergency, call for help, and provide temporary basic life support for a victim, patient, or a family member. Our fire department’s program includes information to prevent injury and illness by focusing on early warning signs, accident and injury prevention, and healthy lifestyles.

Training is provided to the City of Manteca’s employees on the second Tuesday of each month. This year we expanded the program to offer CPR and first aid to the community on the first Saturday of each month. CPR is taught to all fire department personnel internally.

The CPR / Basic First Aid Program’s success falls mainly onto our instructor’s commitment to the program. Without their help, this program would not have reached the number of individuals we were able to train. Our department has doubled the size of instructors this year in order to better serve the community. Listed below is a breakdown of the number of classes and students taught by City of Manteca Firefighters.

City Employee Classes - 14 City Employee Students - 122 Community Classes - 8 Community Students - 70 Fire Personnel Classes - 6 Fire Personnel Students - 75



S.A.F.E. Program by Firefighter William Todd

The Seniors Assisting the Fire Effort (SAFE) program

was established two years ago. The vision of the program is for senior citizens to volunteer their time and talents to assist the fire department and serve the community. SAFE members have been very active volunteering over 3,000 hours this year.

The SAFE program has expanded to include 23 members and evolved to include several additional roles for SAFE members such as in public education and operations. For example, SAFE members are assisting at fire station tours and fire awareness in the schools classes. Oftentimes when firefighters are conducting a station tour or safety class at school, they are called away to an emergency leaving their audiences waiting for their return. SAFE members are enhancing customer service by stepping in and continuing with the tour or safety class. On a

similar note, operationally SAFE members have been instrumental in doing mail-runs between fire stations and retrieving medical equipment that is transported with patients to hospitals outside of the engine companies immediate response districts. Other areas SAFE members are engaged in include training, administration, and fire prevention activities. Additionally, many of the SAFE members have been trained as Ham Radio Operators. As a result, they will be available as a valuable resource in the event of a disaster.

Ultimately, the program has enhanced our fire department’s ability to provide customer service and free up frontline firefighters for life-saving functions. Our SAFE members have enjoyed community pride, a more efficient fire department, and a chance to make a difference in the community.

Explorer Post 24 Program by Engineer Keith Scott

In 2007 The Manteca Fire Explorers completed over 900 hours of training, community service, and ride time. The Post went through a drastic change this year with an influx of new members. We currently have 16 Ride Qualified Explorers, who continue to be committed to the Department and the Post. Through the growth of the Department and exposure into the community the Explorer Post has become a very dedicated part of our Fire Department. The Fire Explorers have worked very closely with our Seniors Assisting Firefighters Efforts (SAFE) members at various community events by showcasing their protective clothing and giving tours of the fire engines. We will continue to strive in 2008, focusing on the education and job training aspects of the Fire Service. The following are the names of our members:

Child Passenger Seat Safety Program by Engineer Robert Villalovoz

Traffic collisions are the leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths among children 14 and under, killing approximately 1,700 children and injuring another 248,000 each year. Nearly 42% of all unintentional childhood injury-related deaths resulted from motor vehicle collisions. Nationally, 4 out of 5 child passenger restraints inspected were installed improperly last year with an average of three errors per seat. According to the San Joaquin County Public Health, 9 out of 10 car seats are installed improperly each year. These statistics reflect the importance of properly maintained and installed child safety seat.

Through the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, the Manteca Fire Department provides a service to help reduce the risks of injury or death to children by offering free child passenger safety checks. Parents and caregivers are educated on the proper installation of child restraint systems. During the installation, the car seats are checked through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database for recalls and the parents are directed how to remedy any problems identified.

To serve the community we set up a booth at the Veritas Elementary School PTA Safety Faire in

April to provide parents with information about child passenger safety. Assistance was provided with the Ripon Police Department for a Car Seat Event in September. Forty-five seats were checked by technicians over the four hour event. Similarly, we participated at the Annual Fire Prevention Extravaganza in recognition of Fire Prevention Week in October.

Every year our program has shown a gradual increase in public service. There were a total of 83

Child Passenger Safety Checks and Installs that were conducted for the citizens in our community.

Public Fire Education Program by Fire Marshal Randy Sutton, Deputy Marshal Marvin Mears, and Inspector Ty Campbell

Public Education and Demonstrations

The Manteca Fire Department continues its role as a provider of information relating to the hazards of

fire and other safety related topics. Effectively communicating with our citizens is essential for any success in educating the public. We spend approximately 230 hours annually teaching children about fire safety. In addition, approximately 350 hours are spent each year in providing Public Education Demonstrations, Fire Extinguisher Demonstrations, Neighborhood Watch Events, and other special events such as Q-15. The Q-15 event educates high school seniors about the risk of driving while intoxicated. A mock vehicle accident is presented to community high schools using the students as victims to illustrate the danger of drunk driving.

The month of October is Fire Prevention Month. Each year the Manteca Fire Department and the Firefighter’s Union, Local 1874, combine efforts with other local agencies to host a safety event during Fire Prevention Week. The department passes out batteries for smoke detectors, brochures, coloring books, pens, pencils, and other fire prevention handouts.

Fire Awareness In The Schools

The Manteca Fire Department participated in 460 public education demonstrations in 2007. The goal

is to provide information to the public and make them aware of fire and life safety hazards. This year saw some major changes in our Fire Awareness In The School (FAITS) Program.

The FAITS program consists of the delivery of educational presentations to the elementary schools in Manteca. The program targets second, fourth, and sixth grade children who benefit from a basic fire prevention safety message. Firefighters taught a total of 3,494 students throughout the year. In 2007, a committee was established to improve the FAITS program. New curriculum was developed that is more interactive and age appropriate.

This year, the FAITS program was enhanced with the addition of a fire safety trailer procured through a $64,558 grant from FEMA. The fire safety trailer provides a mobile classroom which demonstrates potential hazards in a familiar home environment. It contains a living room, kitchen, and a bedroom. In addition, the trailer is equipped with a natural disaster simulator for earthquakes and other natural disasters, a non-toxic smoke system, a heated door for simulated fire detection, a telephone communication system for 911 scenarios, a sounding smoke detector and a fire escape, just to name a few.

Neighborhood Watch Program

The Neighborhood Watch Program allows people in each neighborhood to gather together in a united

effort to secure and protect their homes. The Fire Department became an integral part of this program because we realized it allowed us to disseminate a significant amount of information about our Department and how we can help the public.

Our participation in the

Neighborhood Watch Program remains as one of the more effective ways Firefighters can interact on a non-stressful basis with the public. We are available to meet with various groups throughout the City. Neighborhood groups may request a fire company for a static display and fire prevention handouts at neighborhood functions. A good example is the National Night Out event held each year. This year we had the opportunity to visit 33 different neighborhood functions. Hopefully, our citizens will come to know us as their friend and ally.



Fire Chaplain Program by Firefighter Traig Smith

The Manteca Fire Department partners with a group of local ministers that comprise the Fire Chaplain Program. The effort of these ministers to respond voluntarily to emergencies when requested is what makes the program effective. These ministers typically respond, as requested by Firefighters, when families are in a time of need, such as a death or terminal illness of a loved one. The Fire Chaplains have also teamed with local hospitals to provide grief support when needed at Doctors Hospital and the Kaiser facility.

Fire Chaplains arrive on the emergency scene, or at the hospitals, and provide support to those in need. They can assist a family with notifications and funeral arrangements. The Fire Chaplains are available 24 hours a day on a rotating schedule to provide objective crisis intervention and support. Fire Chaplains are also available to members of the Fire Department should a need arise. The Fire Department Chaplains are valuable in a time of need. The following are a list of our valued Fire Chaplains. Mark Bell James Menchaca Mike Dillman Mark Mahaffie Mike Moore Mark Rindels Dale Rogers Dave Bliss

This program continues to impact our community through the tireless efforts of these men when our

citizens need them most. On behalf of the Manteca Fire Department, our thanks go out to each of them.

Fire Suppression

Manteca Fire Department performance standards require that the first-due unit will arrive on the scene of an emergency incident within the average of five minutes of total reflex time for all incidents. When a fire company is already committed to an emergency call in their first-due area and another emergency call occurs in that same area, the next closest fire station must take the call. This is called “queuing.”
