| |Synopsis=My first '''Fire and EMS Advisory Board''' meeting as Knotts Island Representative.
| |
| |Analysis=I attended my first FEAB meeting. Key takeaways are:
| |
| # FEAB is to allow citizens to interface better with their Fire and EMS Services. we were asked to provide a representative to sit on the board for Knotts Island. I, '''John S. Wunder''' volunteered and was accepted by the board. I have been a resident of Knotts Island since 2014 and am a Knotts Island Volunteer Fireman. I would like to hear from the residents of Knotts Island concerning their Fire and EMS service.<br/>The best way to contact me is via '''johnwunder@cox.net'''
| |
| # We will be having a FEAB meeting in May of Knotts Island at the Fire Station and all are encouraged to come and participate. A meal will be provided before the meeting and I will update this page with a firm date when it is established.
| |
| # For the firemen reading this the County is looking to standardize their nozzles and are bringing in manufacturer TFT March 21st 9AM to test their nozzles against our hoses. Additionally the Forest Service volunteered they would do training on brush fires emphasizing clearing brush with chain saws to departments that express an interest. | |
