A Message from the Chief

The San Antonio Fire Department has spent a lot of time and money on wellness and safety innovations. Safety is the number one priority for the San Antonio Fire Department. Since my arrival, the “round-trip ticket home” has been one of my priorities; however, the recent loss of Lieutenant Richard Olmo has really shined a light on that initiative. We have never really talked about off-duty safety procedures. Now, I ask you to please implement and extend the “round-trip ticket home” initiative not only at work but every day, all the time.

Ultimately, I want you to be able to enjoy your time off but keep in mind we are human beings and anything can happen to us. We have to act safely, smart and implement the “round-trip ticket home” on and off duty. I have found very significant data in the U.S. Fire Administration that shows how nationwide during 2007 to 2011, 7.6% of the firefighter fatalities accounted for driving or riding a personal vehicle.

It is important to take precautions while off-duty, even if it is not part of the job, because remember, your children, spouse, parents and siblings are waiting for you.

The safety measures that have to be taken can be as simple as wearing your seat belt, wearing a helmet, checking the weather before going out, designating a driver, putting your cell phone in your pocket until arriving to your destination, and of course, driving the speed limit. Taking these precautions, which take only a few seconds, can save your life.

We are all guilty of ignoring some of the above precautions, but think about our brother, Lt. R. Olmo, and do not allow his death to be in vain. I know habits are hard to change, especially the bad ones, but remember our habits are living actions and they are going to fight until they die. Try to make your habits positive actions and who knows, in the long run these precautionary habits might be instilled in our children too.

Yours in service,

Charles N. Hood, Fire Chief

For many years firefighters have not only fought fires and saved lives, but have also made children smile. It only takes five minutes to become Sparky and light up a child’s face.

James Rios, Engineer and Community Education Specialist, is one of the three firefighters that go out and greet thousands of kids weekly.

“Even adults become kids when they see Sparky, everybody likes

him,” said Rios.

Sparky visits many kids at schools and loves going to burn camp to visit the children. Furthermore, he also goes out to community events like the Silver Stars games and has the unique experience of running out to the middle of the AT&T Center, along with other mascots in San Antonio, and throwing shirts and meeting many more kids.

“Compared to the other mascots, Sparky is one of the most popular. Sparky was the second most cheered after the Spurs Coyote. Everywhere he goes people love him,” said Rios.

Becoming Sparky for a few hours is fun from every angle. The costume is hot, but is bearable since it has a small fan inside. Sparky has his own hot wheels, the “Sparky Mobile,” and is so famous that there is even a Robotic Sparky that can speak and is operated by remote control.“Once you become Sparky, nobody knows who you are and you can be as silly as you want,” said Rios.

“We can be big kids in a costume,” said Rios.

“The most important aspects to remember are to make the kids smile and to proudly represent the SAFD,”

was the advice Rios got from the previous and retired Sparky.

However, Sparky has to be cautious from time to time. Whenever Sparky see kids that are scared, he keeps his distance. Other times he plays shy and pretends he is scared too.

To be Sparky is a fun and gratifying learning experience, but love and patience have to be part of the job. Just ask Rios, who loves kids and enjoys every minute of the job.Rios who has been with the department for 15 years, has five children and since he was 12 years old has been working with kids. In fact, he used to be a clown and he still works with children at his church.

Because of the high demand Sparky has in the community, there are three Sparky costumes at the Community Safety and Education Division. That way, Sparky can be present at several events at one time.

Sparky is pretty busy all year long. Fortunately, there are four more volunteers from both “A” and “B” shifts, yet, more volunteers are needed from the “C” shift. For more information contact David Lopez or James Rios at [email protected] or [email protected].

“Being Sparky, you realize how much people support and love the

SAFD,” concluded Rios.

Beth Taylor might not fight fires, but

she too has a very difficult and vital job in the San Antonio Fire Department. She is the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Advocate for the SAFD. For four years she has guided many firefighters through the process of making a claim and receiving the appropriate medical treatment. Beth has over 10 years of WCI

experience and she is also a licensed WCI adjuster. Beth has a Master’s Degree in Sports Medicine and Biomechanics and enjoys using her education and experience to help and guide others through this arduous process.

It is important to follow the following steps if you get injured on duty:

1) Immediately report the injury to your supervisor and make sure a First Report of Injury is filled out and submitted to Nancy Villegas at the Fire Chief’s Office.

2) Seek medical attention, if necessary, with a physician of your choice. Make sure they accept Workers’ Compensation Insurance.

3) Every time you go to a doctor’s appointment two forms will need to be completed by your doctor; the SAFD Physician’s Assessment form and the Texas Workers’ Compensation Work Status Report form 73. You can find the SAFD Physicians Assessment form in sharepoint under the personnel tab. The Texas Workers’ Compensation Work Status Report form 73 should be provided by your doctor’s office.

4) Your doctor’s office should fax both forms to Nancy Villegas at 207-8376. However, for courtesy you should call 207-8588 to verify the forms were received.

5) Attend all scheduled doctor appointments, follow-up appointments and/or required examinations until released for full duty.

6) Contact Beth Taylor at 207-6313 if there are any problems, questions, concerns or delays in treatment.

In addition, if you experience a work-related injury, Beth provides the following tips in order to expedite and make the process easier:

• Do not give your Group Health insurance information to any provider for a work-related injury. It is very difficult and sometimes impossible to get the charges reversed and then filed through WCI.

• If you receive any bills bring them in immediately so that they can be submitted to TriStar for payment. Once bills get turned over for collection it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to get them paid and removed from collection status.

• Remember, the physician you choose will become your treating physician for the remainder of your treatment and care for the injury, so choose wisely. Your treating physician will manage your care and refer you for diagnostic testing and specialists as necessary.

Contact information: Fire Employees may contact Beth Taylor at any time with questions, concerns or suggestions at 207-6313, 462-6264 or [email protected].

Firefighters are well known for fighting fires, however, to provide a fire-safe environment for the citizens of San Antonio, before fires even occur, there is a remarkable team of firefighters in the SAFD whose job it is to prevent fires. The Fire Prevention division conducts inspections of newly constructed structures and those undergoing remodeling work in which the building requires a permit. Inspections are accomplished to ensure that each building complies with the Fire Code and City amendments. Before these codes were active there were no fire alarms or sprinklers. Today, there are many codes and standards designed to prevent fires and make the firefighter’s job safer. For example, some of the current codes and standards require inspectors to inspect and test underground fire lines, construction types, fire alarms, different types of extinguishing systems, warehouse commodities, and under and above ground fuel tanks.

Fire inspectors require a vast amount of knowledge on many different construction requirements as well as life safety systems. As a result, all new inspectors today are required to complete a state mandated training course and then complete a six-month in-house training course. This is only the beginning, because training continues throughout the career of the inspector. Another part of the daily job of an inspector is to be a code enforcer. For example, it is against the law for any person to be living in any commercial occupancy not designated for residential use. When cases like this are found, citations are issued to the owners of the building. Yes, that’s right! SAFD Inspectors write citations for violations of the Fire Code. Currently, the inspections division is working together with firefighters in fire suppression. On a monthly basis, inspectors conduct unscheduled visits to different apartment complexes to make sure they remain in compliance. They inspect these locations to ensure proper fire lane access, smoke and fire detection, presence of fire extinguishers, private hydrants are being maintained, and will now also be checking draft stops in attic spaces to check for their integrity. In conclusion, the job of any SAFD inspector consists of making sure that the contractors and developers provide the safest conditions for citizens and firefighters of this city. For any questions please contact Matt Jimenez, new Division Chief of Inspection. If you are interested in joining this remarkable group you have to have a rank of an engineer or above to apply for the position. Be aware that selection consists of an interview process that requires a resume.


The SAFD Medical Special Operations Unit

The San Antonio Fire Department paramedics are experts in the art of providing high-quality medical services

in the back of a moving ambulance. What’s more impressive is that additionally, the SAFD is equipped with an exceptional group of paramedics that provides the same service while flying in the air.

In 2007, the city of San Antonio received a grant for a helicopter from the 2005 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The San Antonio Police Department along with the Office of Emergency Management and the San Antonio Fire Department decided to create the COSA HELO Team.

The COSA HELO Team is a joint venture between SAPD and SAFD. The team consists of one pilot and one crew chief observer (from SAPD) and the Paramedic rescue technician-swimmer (from SAFD). The American Euro-Copter AS350 B3 helicopter will provide the SAPD/SAFD with greater capabilities to perform missions such as aerial assessments of large critical incidents, unusual occurrences, terrorist crime scenes and allows for multiple persons in the helicopter.

The SAFD Medical Special Operations Unit has received continuous training, planning, and has logged many flight hours along with the SAPD pilots. Little by little, the team has evolved and is now able to perform short-haul rescue operations. In addition, the COSA HELO Team can also assist the city of San Antonio and surrounding region by providing:

• Tactical paramedic support to SAPD SWAT • Land and water based rescues• Wild land fire suppression• Swift or high water rescues• Transport of triage teams, medical supplies

• Rescues in rough or inaccessible terrain• High rise structure rescues• Resource deployment • Assistance to HAZMAT incidents

“The training prepares us for what we can do. This is a new thing and additional special training better prepares us to help people out,” said Engineer Matt Lodge.

Being part of the HELO Team is not easy since it requires extra training (that is not paid) on top of your regular working shift. Lodge mentions how EMS is busy and adding training to a regular work day can make for a long 24 hour shift.

To be part of this team takes a lot of motivation. “You cannot wait for someone to tell you what to do, you have to go the extra mile,” said Engineer Michael Pierce.

and TRU

and equipment


The advantages of having a HELO Team include:

• Decrease in manpower at an incident• Gives greater coverage of an incident area• Reduces the chance of injury for the rescuer• Reduces time in locating victims• Reduces the rescue/patient exposure and

injury time.

The COSA HELO Team can rescue more than one person using an Air Tactical Extraction Platform (Air-TEP). San Antonio is the only city in the nation that has an Air-TEP. The device is typically used by the military. Other kinds of rescue equipment that the HELO Team uses are a Bauman bag, quick strop, cinch collar, diaper sling and a bambi bucket that holds 144 gallons of water. In order for the COSA HELO team to respond to an incident, the first arriving officer must request this resource through dispatch as they would any other request to assist at an incident. The normal HELO activation time takes between 10-30 minutes depending on the situation and weather.

Be aware! If the CFL is broken indoors, if multiple light bulbs are broken or if someone cuts themselves with a piece of broken glass that contains mercury it represents a life threatening danger and medical care has to be provided as soon as possible.

The symptoms for mercury poisoning typically include sensory impairment, a lack of coordination, skin discoloration, tingling, itching, burning, and skin peeling.

The following are recommended actions for the proper cleanup and disposal of broken CFLs according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency:

• Have people and pets leave the room.

• Air out the room for 5-10 minutes by opening a window or door to the outdoor environment.

• Do not vacuum. This could spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor.

• Place cleanup materials in a sealable container.

• Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.

• Air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for several hours.

Please be aware of the severity of the spill and make sure to inform the citizens that there are private companies that specialize in cleaning this type of materials. For more information visit: http://www.epa.gov/cfl/cflcleanup.html.

Paramedics and firefighters, please be aware that as citizens are aiming to go “green” and save some money they are now using energy- saving light bulbs also called compact fluorescent light bulbs(CFL). Nevertheless, these “green” light bulbs contain mercury which is a dangerous toxin.

The CFL is a smart option because they consume less power and they last almost twice as long as regular incandescent light bulbs. These light bulbs are safe until they break. Once they break the mercury is released and can contaminate the area. The mercury can be present in elemental mercury liquid, vapor or both. The liquid evaporates at room temperature.

Going Back in Time...1860’sSAFD History

By 1859 the population in San Antonio had almost doubled and the city had only one volunteer company. Nevertheless, in December of the same year a second volunteer company was created in the east side of the city, Alamo Fire Association No. 2. The fire company was made up of residents and businessmen from the areas known as the Alamo, East of the River, Irish Flat, the settlement of German and Prussian immigrants and the Tejano settlement at La Villita. Both Ben Milam No. 1 and Alamo Fire Association No.2 had a very diverse group of brave men since no matter their ethnicity or socio-economic level they were granted membership. The fire department consisted predominately of German descent with some Irish, Italian and South Americans. By July 1860, the Alamo Fire Association had already purchased its equipment and an engine. The first Engine was housed in a shed on the corner of Elm

and St. Joseph Streets. San Antonio now had the support of two fire companies. However, among the two existing volunteer companies in San Antonio there was a lot of rivalry; both fire companies would arduously compete among each other. When the Civil War broke out in 1861 both fire companies had a small number of members left since many had enlisted in the Texas Confederate Army. Yet, the Alamo Fire Association No.2 was able to stay fairly active. On the other hand, Ben Milam No.1 was practically disbanded because of the War. A few old-timers kept things going and did their best when fire threatened. For the most part fires in San Antonio were fought by the confederate military forces and slaves. After the Civil War, the freed slaves continued firefighting and formed the first two black fire companies.

Firehouse Chuckles!There was a huge fire at a soda factory. The owner told the fire department that he needed his secret formula that was located in the center of the blaze. An hour later no ground was gained and a mutual aid call was put out. When 12 departments couldn't subdue the blaze the owner offered a $100,000 reward to the fire department that could rescue his secret formula. Suddenly, a small town department drove their truck right into the fire and emerged 10 minutes later with the formula. When asked what they would do with the money one said,"Get the brakes fixed, we figure."

Alamo Association No. 2 in the 1860’s

TAX EXEMPTION FORMS

Consistent with Administrative Directive (A.D.) 8.32, Acceptable Use of City Funds, departments may not utilize the City’s tax exempt status for non-City sponsored events.

In addition, tax exempt purchases must follow the City’s procurement guidelines set forth in A.D. 1.6, Purchasing Procedures.

As such, employees are not allowed to make tax exempt purchases with personal funds and seek subsequent reimbursement.

The funds must be specifically budgeted, support City business, and approved by an authorized department representative as identified by the Department Director.

When making tax exempt purchases using the Texas Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certification form, state law dictates that a separate form needs to be provided for each tax exempt purchase. Therefore, employees must not copy an exemption form completed for one vendor only to be used for another.

It is a criminal offense to give an exemption certificate to a seller for taxable items known, at the time of purchase, will be used in a manner other than that expressed in the certificate.

The United States will never forget that day; nor will fire departments around the world forget that was the day that 343 firefighters and paramedics died doing their job.

This year, to commemorate those heroes that responded to the twin towers, firefighters and paramedics from the San Antonio Fire Department and other area fire departments along with police officers, got together Sunday September 9, for the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5K run. The winners that took the trips to New York were Marcos Munoz from the Camelot Fire Department and Patrolman John Seaton from the SAPD.

We Climbed because THEY Climbed

Also, on September 11, firefighters and paramedics came together to remember each step that firefighters took that day, 11 years ago, to rescue the thousands of people trapped in the World Trade Center. Firefighters climbed the Tower of the Americas in full gear while representing one of the fallen September 11th heroes.

Do you remember the morning of September 11, 2001?

We Climbed because THEY Climbed Do you remember the morning of September 11, 2001?

Among the firefighters who participated were SAFD firefighters, James Peancarte and Brad Neel from Engine 46A who went up 343 flights of stairs; one for each fallen hero. In total, Peancarte and Neel went up the Tower of the Americas five and a half times carrying a list with the names of each firefighter who lost their life.

However, Peancarte says that “nothing compares” with the ultimate sacrifice these fallen heroes gave for our country. There were 606 children of a firefighter or paramedic who lost their parent that day.

SAFD firefighters ready to climb

“We need to be willing to give our lives as the ultimate sacrifice,”

said Firefighter Andrew Billings.

“The new facility will be organized dealership style,” said Deputy Chief Carl Wedige.

To service the apparatus, you will now pull-up to the service drive and check in with the service advisor. In addition, there will be a waiting area available for the driver and crew.

Fire and EMS supplies will also be located in this building. This will make supplies and equipment more accessible.

The new services building was built for the purpose of helping the SAFD be more efficient. This is a building that was built to take care of the needs of the department as a one stop shop, added Chief of Services and Logistics, Steve Reuthinger.

The waiting area will be located in the front of the building. This waiting area will be for the firefighters and guests of the facility. The area will be equipped with a television, computers, and a place to relax while you wait.

The San Antonio Fire Department is getting ready to open their new services building this coming December. The new services building is located behind the SAFD Training Academy and has two

main purposes: to serve as a fleet repair facility and to store Fire and EMS supplies.

“This new facility will be able to better handle the department’s

I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about a run we(M41-B) made today (9/23/2012) and what a great job L35-A did. M41 was in the Medical Center area and along with M27 got dispatched to a full cardiac arrest with L35. Prior to our arrival on scene, we were contacted by L35 that it was a working cardiac arrest. Upon our arrival, L35 had pt on AED, was bagging, doing CPR and assembling their EZ-IO. The run went very smoothly thanks to the ladder crews efficiency and ability to work a medical scene. A firefighter did the humeral IO with ease, and the crew fol-lowed EMS direction exactly. It may not seem like a big deal, but I felt it was important to let you, and them, know that we really appreciate their hard work. The ladder crew today was Kenneth DeVries, James Koehler, Scott Deem and Devin Warner. Thanks guys for the great job you did. As a follow up, our patient still had a pulse when we got to the hospital, and was in the cath lab when we left. (How often does that happen?) Daughter told EMS at the hospital that her dad had been having chest pn for the past hour, so what should have been a heart alert an hour earlier turned into the full arrest that we worked.

Again, thanks for making our job easier.

Respectfully,

Yvonne GarciaM-41B

On behalf of the members of the Corpus Christi Fire Department, I would like to extend to you my personal apprecia-tion for the outstanding support you and the members of the San Antonio Fire Department gave to Battalion Chief J.D. John-son. During our darkest hour, you and your members extended emotional and financial support to the Johnson family through a time period where they needed it the most. As Battalion Chief Johnson lay in the Burn Unit ICU at the San Antonio Military Medical Center, you came to offer support and comfort to Mrs. Johnson and the entire Johnson family. I am most certainly indebted to you for your personal kindness. I would also like to add that the firefighters from the San Antonio Fire Department went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to taking care of Battalion Chief Johnson and his family. You can be proud of them, and in the knowledge, that they epitomized the highest level of care and support. Their efforts will never be forgotten by me and the members of my department. I am happy to report that Chief Johnson is back home in Corpus Christi and he is undergoing rigorous physical therapy. He is currently on “no duty” status, but is anxious to return to full dury when his injuries heal. Thank you for your kindness, and please keep us in mind, if we can ever offer support for you when needed.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Rocha, Fire Chief Corpus Christi Fire Department
