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.
