Fire District Chief Message 2020 A Year of Challenges How many of us are still holding on to what we remember as our 'normal life' before the arrival of the COVID-19 Pandemic last March. The Fire District like the rest of the American Canyon community and the World is operating in a very different manner these days. Operationally, we made several significant changes to how we deliver service and respond to emergencies. The health and safety of our employees and the residents that we serve has always been priority #1, but during the pandemic, it has become a daily struggle for all of us. Development of pandemic specific response guidelines, prescribing the use and wearing of PPE, adjusting and increasing staffing, segregating crews and re-opening the Fire Station at 225 James Rd, implementing COVID-19 testing, and eventually ensuring that all our personnel had access to vaccinations were just a few of the actions that we have taken to ensure that we can continue to serve the community of American Canyon.

Changes in Leadership – Over the past year, there have been several changes within the leadership ranks of the Fire District. Fire Chief Glen Weeks and Assistant Fire Chief Blake Lawson both retired after serving the District's residents for fourteen and a half years and twenty-one years respectfully. Chief Weeks' position was filled on an interim basis by (retired) Fire Chief Michael Cahill and Chief Lawson's position was later filled by interim Assistant Fire Chief James Comisky. The Fire District Board removed the 'interim' from Chief Cahill's title on January 21, 2021 by a 5-0 vote. Board member Kenneth Leary chose to not run for re-election during the November City Council race and the remaining Fire Board welcomed Pierre Washington as the newest member of the Fire District Board in December.

Annual Report 2020

COVID -19 Update

The District is taking the necessary steps in accordance to the CDC guidelines and Napa County Public Health to minimize any potential exposures to its employees and the community. The safety of our employees, their families, and the community is paramount.

In March 2020, due to the spread of COVID-19, the District set precautionary measures for its employees.

• The employees must don Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when responding to a call for “flu symptoms”; (gloves, masks, goggles/face shield).

• Decontamination of all surface areas in the station and apparatus to be performed throughout the day.

• Masks are required to be worn by all personnel.

• Maintain a 6-foot distance (no handshakes or hugs).

• Daily Temperature checks.

• No visitors allowed in the living quarters.

• All public contacts that are not required are postponed or rescheduled.

• Equipment used on calls shall be cleaned after every use.

• SCBA regulators shall be decontaminated after each use.

On June 2nd, the District reopened the Station at 225 James. This was in response to provide improved distancing of the firefighters with the goal of continuing to enhance our preventative efforts towards firefighter health and safety in every way possible.

The District is committed to ensure the safety of the community and its employees and in January 2021 Napa County Health provided vaccines to the First Responders.

FIRE PREVENTION

Annual Report 2020

Overview Service Priorities     

Partnering with the Community while promoting Fire and Life Safety.

Providing Public Education and awareness to reduce the fire and life safety risk.

Utilizing well-trained inspectors to educate the public while conducting a comprehensive inspection and code enforcement program.

Investigating the cause and origin of fires.

Fire and Life Safety records and maintenance.

The Fire Prevention Division consists of the Fire Chief, Fire Company (shift) inspectors, and CSG Consultants. The American Canyon Fire Protection District entered into contract with CSG Consultants in September 2019. CSG offers experienced CSFM/ICC certified inspectors. The Fire Chief is the Fire Marshal and is responsible for code enforcement, fire plans review and engineering, fire investigation, and fire and life safety education. The Prevention Division strives to provide the highest level of customer care and service. Accomplishing the mission requires delegation and teamwork throughout all levels of both organizations.

Code Enforcement Once a building is constructed, we conduct maintenance inspections to help ensure that a reasonable degree of fire safety exists. Annual fire inspections are conducted by CSG Consultants and our fire suppression crews through the engine company annual business fire safety inspection program. We work in partnership with building and business owners to help us with this process.

Fire Plans Review and Construction The Fire Prevention Division of the American Canyon Fire Protection District partners with the community, CSG Consultants, and City of American Canyon staff to provide building plan review services for both new and existing construction projects. Services include the review of designs and installation of automatic fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems which will be built into the structure. We also ensure public fire safety in all public buildings and multi-tenant occupancies. The Plan Review Committee (PRC) Program is responsible for ensuring these projects adhere to fire and life safety code requirements regulating the safety of people who will occupy the building or area.

Annual Report 2019

Sprinkler Requirements

Present-day automatic fire sprinklers have been perfected to the point that they are extremely reliable when properly maintained. Automatic sprinkler systems are recognized as the most reliable of all fire protection devices controlling or extinguishing a fire at an early stage. The design of automatic sprinkler systems is based upon the assumption that only a portion of the sprinkler heads will flow during a fire. On average, about 96 percent of all fires in sprinkled buildings are controlled or extinguished by two to four fire sprinkler heads. Contrary to most beliefs, not all fire sprinkler heads will flow at the same time. The life safety of building occupants is enhanced by the presence of a sprinkler system and the loss of property can be reduced.

Fire Investigation This program is overseen by the Fire Chief and our Police Department who also assists in this process. We work very closely with the Police Department on fires suspected to be arson.
