Specialized Rescue Service For informational purposes, Chief Kelly and Chief Laatsch reported on the high demands specialized services are placing on local fire departments, the increasing inability to provide all of these services as an individual entity, and, in response, the need for sharing (regionalizing) some of these services. The specialized services discussed related to trench rescue, structural collapse rescue, hazardous materials incidents, high angle rope rescue, confined space rescue, and swift water and rope rescue. As explained by Chief Kelly and Chief Laatsch, the subject of regionalizing specialized services is a key component to identifying fire department levels of service. After a brief question and answer period, The Committee expressed their strong support of these issues. Based on this support, Chief Kelly informed the Committee that he will direct Deputy Fire Chief Mike Gerber and Assistant Fire Chief Stan Laatsch to implement the strategies for moving forward on June 1, 2006. B. Fire Department Level of Service The subject matter of fire department level of service was discussed during the above agenda item "Specialized Rescue Services". C.
