Dear Conal:
RE: Operations Committee Meeting
I understand that Councillor Noble will be bringing forward a motion to the OperationsCommittee on February 16, 2010 with reference to areas south of Water Street andincluding Water Street to be designated as a Community Policing Safety Zone.
As we are aware there are costs associated with setting up Community Safety Zonesversus no cost to closing Block House Island to vehicular traffic.
As of January 1, 2010 the set fines for various infractions under the Highway Traffic Acthave increased and with more aggressive enforcement from our new Community OrientedPolice Unit I believe this can be controlled.
My concern on the Community Policing Safety Zone is where do we say no as otherresidents will want them in their neighbourhoods.

INTERNAL CORRESPONDENCE
To: From:
Date: March 23, 2010
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING APRIL 21, 2010
Overnight Parking Restrictions in the Waterfront/Tunnel Bay Area:
On February 25, 2010 I was instructed by the Police Services Board to provide a report andrecommendations on the above overnight parking restrictions in the water front I Tunnel Bayarea.
• In October, 2009 several complaints were received at the Brockville Police Service withreference to erratic driving on Block House Island. Our new C.O.P. Unit was deployedto this area resulting in several charges being laid for stunt driving, mischief and otherrelated offences.
• In January, 2010 I attended a Council Meeting when it was suggested that the gatesleading to the Island be closed each and every night as they are during the summermonths.This suggestion was defeated at council and sent back to the Police Services Board.
• Presently there are “No Parking” signs erected at the entrance to the Island with timelines from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m..
• I do not recommend further “No Parking” signs to be erected due to the fact that thePolice cannot and will not enforce “Selective Enforcement ofNo Parking”.
• The majority of our complaints are on the parking area just south of the entrance wherethe young people congregate and act as spectators to the stunt driving and otherinfractions.
We, the Brockville Police Service, will continue to monitor this area and with the new finesystem in January of this year it will become very costly to the driver if he or she chooses tocommit an offence.
I do believe that by placing extra No Parking signs on the Island we are punishing the people whoenjoy the scenery and also some networking.

Report to the Operations Committee - April 21, 2010
2010-063-04Brockville Cemetery Board CM. LarocquePet Cemetery Issues SecretarylTreasurer
Brockville Cemetery Board
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Report Number 2010-063-04, Brockville Cemetery Board — Pet Cemetery Issuesbe received for information purposes.
BACKGROUND
In a letter dated October 09, 2008 from a Mr. Don Flemming, Compliance Officer withthe Ministry of Small Business and Consumer Services, Cemeteries Regulation Unitthe Brockville Cemeteries Board were put on notice that burying of pets may not beallowed. Following this series of dialogues and e-mails and were involved indetermining a process whereby we could change the City’s by-law and incorporate theestablishment of a Pet Cemetery. We were led through the process on how to go aboutthis and in so doing we were to provide public notice, signage, etc.
There are three separate grounds for burying pets, known as Pet Cemetery “A”, “B”,and :C”
On January 27, 2009 Council passed the appropriate amending by-law. This and othersupporting documents were forwarded to the Ministry. Despite all of what has beendone we have now received a letter from the Registrar, Mr. Michael D’Mello that wecannot have a Pet Cemetery contained within the boundaries of Brockville Cemetery.
ANALYSIS
It seems now that the required path in resolving the issues is as follows:
• The three Pet Cemetery Locations as suggested by The Registrar, MichaelD’Mello, will have to be segregated and removed from the land description ofthe Human Cemetery portion. To do this each of these Pet Cemeteries willhave to be surveyed by a licensed Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS)
• An application will have to be authorized by Council and submitted to theministry to CLOSE Off these locations from the Human Cemetery. Oncedone, the separately identified Pet Cemeteries can continue as separate

Report 2010-063-04Brockville Cemetery BoardPet Cemetery Issues Page 2
entities. This separate Pet Cemetery entity could be operated by The City, aprivate Entrepreneur or by the Brockville Cemetery Board.
• These future separately identified Pet Cemeteries cannot enjoy the use of anymonies or interest earned from the Perpetual Care Reserve Fund. As aconsequence the Pet Cemeteries will have to stand alone as their own costcenter earning their own revenue and absorbing their own costs.
• The cost of moving through the suggested close/paper separation procedureis estimated to be in the order of $15,000 for surveys, title searches anddocument preparation.
The options for a path forward are:
1. Ask the Registrar to simply allow the Board to cease burying pets without thework and cost of a paper exercise that would remove (on paper) the pet lotsfrom the human parameters. This option would sustain the Registrars opinionabout the public interest being served in maintaining separation. It wouldhowever, in the opinion of the Board not be in the public interest to incur costsmerely for a paper exercise.
2. Proceed on our own with an application to Close and Separate.
3. Wait, and take no action to determine if the Registrar will provide and officialorder to “Close and Separate”
Options 2 and 3 would incur the cost of the paper exercise.
In the meantime, the Board has ceased burying pets. This action will undoubtedly raisesome questions and public relations issues among the citizens of Brockville.
We will keep you apprised as further developments occur.

MinutesOf the
Cii or Bocv BOARDAt its meeting of
Monday April 12, 2010Call to order:
By Muriel Greene at 11:00 AM.
Attendance:
Muriel Greene, Doug Grant, Darryl Cuthbert, Brian Porter, Bob Casselman City Manager, Superintendent, DaleTrickey Secretary/Treasurer, Mike Larocque.
Regrets,Absent: Mike Lebel, Marvin Graves
Chairperson’s Remarks:
Muriel Greene welcomed Bob Casselman to the meeting to discuss the Pet Cemetery Issue with Mr. Michael D’Mello,Registrar of the Provincial Cemeteries Branch.
After twenty minutes had passed, Secretary/Treasurer, M. Larocque called the Ministry in Toronto to ascertain why theRegistrar had not yet shown up. The administrative assistant indicated he was not coming today as there must have beensome mix up in the date. They will Call M. Larocque at home later in the day to indicate when they will be coming.
Chair, Muriel Green availed of the opportunity to discuss issues among ourselves and asked Secretary/Treasurer, M.Larocque to give the Board an update on the recent discussions he had with The City Manager Bob Casselman and the CitySolicitor, John Simpson on March 18, 2010 at 2:00 PM
Mr. Larocque summarized those discussions as follows:
I. He reminded that the Board had made a previous verbal commitment by phone With the Registrar, Michael D’Mellothat the Board would we would proceed with an application to “Close and Separate” the Pet Cemetery areas and that theRegistrar under these conditions would allow the Board to continue the burial of pets.
2. He advised that the meeting with the City Manager and City solicitor produced a consensus that the high costof surveys, land titles search and document preparation was probably not in the best “Public Interest” in so far aseconomics was concerned. Pursuant to this it was felt that City Council might not want to entertain such costsand that we should not proceed with a voluntary application to “Close” unless we were officially ordered to do so.
3. It was recognized and agreed at the City administration meeting that if we were not going to proceed voluntarily withthe application then we should not continue the burying of pets.
4. The Secretary/Treasurer advised the Cemetery Board by phone that same day to cease burial of pets.
5. The City meeting group had hoped that we would next talk to the Registrar when he came to Brockvilleto consider the practicality of not conducting a costly paper exercise and seek his permission to allow us toquit burying without all of the expense.
6. If the Registrar doesn’t go for this and then officially orders the Board to “Close” then we are right back tocost and paper exercise.
7. Following that, if and when the “Closure/Separation” process goes through then the Pet Cemetery functions are \finished.
8. City Council would then have to decide if they want a Pet Cemetery either on the separated properties or onsome other property. City Council would then consider if they wanted to operate it themselves, have the CemeteryBoard operate it as a separate and distinct function, or farm/contract it out to a private entrepreneur.
{ItemDescription} Page 14 of 70
29. A separate budget and accounting system should be developed and a cost benefit analysis done by the City to
determine the financial practicality.
It was discussed and identified at this Cemetery Board meeting that there is a public relations issue with which we now haveto contend as people will be wanting an explanation why we are no longer burying pets. It was agreed that theSecretary/Treasurer would prepare a report for the next Operations Committee Meeting of the city on April 21 at 4:00 tobring Council up to date.
City Manager, Bob Casselman concurred generally with the summary provided by the Secretary/Treasurer and advised thathe himself had a few questions for the Registrar when we meet with him.
It was agree that the next regular meeting of the Cemetery Board scheduled for Wednesday April 21 ,be cancelled in order toallow the Board members time to attend the Operations Committee Meeting at City Hall.
ACTION REQUIRED: C. M. Larocque
ADJOURNMENT:On motion of Brian Porter the meeting was adjourned at 12:00 PM

March 23, 2010REPORT TO OPERATIONS COMMITTEE - APRIL 21, 2010
2010-051-04REPLACEMENT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT C. DWYREBREATHING AIR COMPRESSOR DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF
RECOMMENDED:
THAT council supports the purchase of a new breathing air compressor to be utilizedas an integral part of the Respiratory Protection Program of the Fire Department.
THAT the quotation received from M & L Supply Fire & Safety, for a Scott Simple AirCompressor model # AC0404364111 in the amount of $26,295.10 be accepted.
THAT the funds in the amount of $25,000.00 that were approved during the 2010 BudgetProcess and the additional $1,295.10 from the departments Operational Equipmentaccount be used toward this purchase.
PURPOSE:
The Brockville Fire Department has been at the forefront in developing a RespiratoryProtection Program, our program formed in the early 1980’s in conjunction with our JointOccupational Health & Safety Committee has consistently provided our employees witha high quality air supply to be used with our breathing apparatus in both emergency andtraining evolutions. In addition to our own department air supply needs, we haveprovided many of the surrounding area fire (SCBA), police (dive teams) departments aswell as the St. Lawrence College pre-service Fire Fighter Program (SCBA) withbreathing air when required.The breathing air compressor is the most important component of our fire departmentRespiratory Protection Program. A breathing air compressor is designed to deliver aquality supply of air with a variety of built-in safety features. A breathing air compressoris one of three parts to the air supply system. The primary function of this equipment is topurify, remove moisture content to a desired level and then pressurize the purified airsupply to 4500 to 6000 PSI. The remainder of the system is made up of a storage bank offour cascade cylinders and a filling station where the stored /purified air is transferred tothe air bottles used on the back packs worn by firefighters in their fire suppression duties.The air supply that is used by firefighters is required to meet or exceed all recognizedrespiratory air standards as set out by CSA Zi 80.1-00 breathing air standards.The present system owned and operated by the fire department has had the air fillingstation replaced in 2007. The cascade storage cylinders are original equipment andremain in good condition. The compressor/purification system has been taken out ofservice and the estimate for repairs exceed the value of the equipment.
{ItemDescription} Page 16 of 70
Page 2
BACKGROUND:
The fire department has been using the same compressor for over twenty five years andhas been experiencing repeat mechanical problems for the past five or six years. InFebruary of this year a major mechanical breakdown shut the system down completelyforcing our department to rely on a neighboring fire department for a reliable supply ofbreathing air. To fully evaluate the necessary repairs required to our compressor it had tobe disconnected and removed from the present location — the evaluation identified thatthe cost of repairs and a total rebuild of the unit was not a feasible solution with theexpected working/life remaining on the unit.At the present time a loaner compressor unit has been obtained and installed in the firestation until a replacement compressor is purchased.To meet the established standards that our Respiratory Protection Program has set for theprotection of our own employees, and to comply with federal standards, it is importantthat we maintain a reliable air purification system. Our present program requires us tochange the air in each of our self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) on a quarterlyschedule. Additional compressed air is necessary during or after any emergency situationor training sessions.As previously mentioned, we fill air bottles for other fire & police departments, the St.Lawrence College Pre-service Fire Fighter program, other city departments, privateindustry and services within the city — a reliable operating system is a must.
ANALYSIS/OPTIONS:
Quotations have been received from six (6) suppliers of breathing air compressors thatwill fit into our existing air purification system. Prices range from $26,295.00 to$34,555.35 - the quotations received were for three (3) different brand names of aircompressor - Scott, CompAir/Mako and Jordair (4). All models will satisfactorily fit intoour existing system.The quotations include a Carbon Monoxide and moisture monitoring system that is a newrequirement in 2010 and would have to have been added to any existing air compressorduring this year to meet federal standards.All quotations include installation/set-up, staff training and the first air sample test.The safety requirements and considerations in having a reliable operational aircompressor/purification system make the replacement of the present unit a priority forthis department.Quotations are attached.
{ItemDescription} Page 17 of 70
Page 3
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The replacement of the compressor/air purification unit was inevitable. Thisadministration has attempted to keep it operational at a minimal cost over the past fiveyears with expectation that it might have lasted until 2011.With the funding of $25,000 specified in the Budget Process an additional $1,295.10 ofthe costs will be taken from the department 2010 - Operational Equipment Account.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that we accept the lowest of the quotations received — being that fromM & L Supply Fire & Safety in the amount of $26,295.00 for a Scott Simple AirCompressor, model #AC040436441 11.

2009 INSPECTION PROGRAM
Complaint inspections are conducted as the result of a complaint regarding a possible Fire Codeviolation. All complaint inspections are followed up with correspondence in the form of a letteror a note to file. We are required by legislation to do complaint inspections (FPPA)
Request inspections are usually conducted for a new occupancy, licensing or sale of a property.There is a fee for such inspections. Again, legislation dictates we do requested inspections.
Inservice inspections are conducted by the firefighters under the direction of the fire preventiondivision. The reports are prepared by the captains and forwarded to fire prevention for approvaland mailing. The firefighters conduct the initial re-inspection and any follow-up beyond that isconducted by fire prevention.
Routine inspections are conducted when concerns come to our attention by other means (i.e. —
home inspection program, retrofit, general enquiry, etc.)
Investigation inspections are conducted as the result of a fire response.
Inspections
During 2009 a total of 219 property inspections were conducted through the fire preventiondivision. This number does not include inspections of outdoor fireplaces.
Breakdown by Inspection type:Complaints 35Investigation 1Requests (fee) 37Routine 47Inservice 99
Outdoor Fireplaces: In addition to the above noted inspections, 38 outdoor fireplaces wereinspected and approved. See re-inspections below for more information.
NOTE: A number of complaint inspections led to some serious fire safety hazards beingobserved by the inspector which caused the filing of Section 15 Notices under the Fire Protectionand Prevention Act, 1997 (FPPA), known as an “Immediate Threat to Life”. These notices createan increased workload and are time consuming for the inspectors as the inspector must meet thecriteria set out in the FPPA. In 2009, 7 immediate threats to life were recognized and dealt withby the fire prevention division. One of these inspections resulted in one building being orderedclosed under the authorization of the Ontario Fire Marshal.
Task Force Inspections
A fire department inspector was part of a city task force that included 2 city police officers, theAGCO liquor inspector and the Health Unit tobacco inspector. Cursory inspections were done ofliquor-licensed restaurants/bars in both May and October and these 24 cursory inspections areincluded in the total inspection numbers listed above.
Brockville Fire Department Fire Prevention Division 2009 Year End Report Page 2{ItemDescription} Page 29 of 70
Re-inspections
The inspection numbers above do not include the 213 follow-up re-inspections that took placeto ensure compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. The Inservice inspections created 72 reinspections while the two fire prevention officers completed 141 re-inspections.
This number does not include outdoor fireplace re-inspections which sometimes required 2 reinspections for each fireplace to get compliance with the city standard for installation.
Major Occupancy Inspections
Occupancy means the use or intended use of a building or part thereof for the shelter or supportof persons, animals or property. Major occupancy means the principal occupancy for which abuilding or part thereof is used or intended to be used, and includes the subsidiary occupanciesthat are an integral part of the principal occupancy.

Inspection Orders
A total of 5 Inspection Orders were issued in 2009 against tenants or property owners.Inspection orders are issued when certain life and fire safety issues cannot be specifically dealtwith under the Ontario Fire Code regulation. One order dealt with the closing of a building whilethe other 4 were issued to deal with hoarding issues. Two hoardings also required the issuance ofan linmediate Threat to Life order as well (Section 15 Posting of the FPPA). The orders requiredre-inspections to ensure compliance and these re-inspection numbers are included above.
Electrical Inspection Orders
Observations during an inspection may cause an inspector to issue an Electrical Inspection Orderto the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) for a follow-up inspection by the ESA to ensure thewiring in a building is in compliance with the Electrical Code. A total of 3 Electrical InspectionOrders were issued this year.
Plans Reviews
28 Plans Reviews were also conducted by the fire prevention division. These reviews are done inregards to fire access routes to building as well as proper hydrant placement. Plans are scaled andcomments returned to the Planning Department. Site inspections are required in some instancesto verify drawing specifications.
Fire Safety Plans Reviews
Changes in the 2007 Ontario Fire Code has required the updating of a large number of fire safetyplans required for specified properties. To assist property owners/tenants in meeting theirresponsibilities, a new fire safety plan template was developed by the chief fire preventionofficer and is offered on a CD format to owners for a fee. 25 Fire Safety Plan reviews werecompleted in 2009, with many being sent back for changes. Some fire safety plans are reviewed2 or 3 times before approval by the chief fire official is achieved. Unfortunately, this is a verytime consuming process for the chief fire official approving these plans.
Brockville Fire Department Fire Prevention Division 2009 Year End Report Page 4{ItemDescription} Page 31 of 70
FIRE iNVESTIGATIONS
We are pleased to report that very few fire investigations had to take place this year. There were4 fire investigations done; 2 structural fires and 2 vehicle fires. One of the vehicle fires causedsevere damage to the residence it was parked adjacent to; therefore the structure was notinvestigated. Both vehicle fires were investigated by the police and appeared to be arson.
No injuries or deaths resulted from these fires.
2009 PUBLIC EDUCATION PRESENTATIONS
25 scheduled presentations were conducted by Fire Prevention staff during 2009, reaching anaudience of 905 people.
The presentations were generated as the result of fire safety concerns within the variousorganizations in the city, or through a direct request for staff training in fire safety procedures.These presentations usually involved fire department apparatus (i.e. fire extinguisher tutor, 9-1-1simulator, fire safety videos) and in some cases required hands-on training for those involved.
The people involved in these public education sessions range from pre-school children tostudents at the college level, health care workers, seniors’ groups and employees from manyareas of the workforce; including industry and the food service sector.
As part of our public education program, a large quantity of brochures, books, and other firesafety teaching materials were distributed at community events which were coordinated throughfire prevention and attended by both fire prevention personnel and the firefighters. Theseincluded such events as school fairs, Canadian Tire Days, Home Depot’s Fire Safety AwarenessDay, St. Lawrence Park’s Beach Party and other community events held throughout the city. Insome cases, firefighters allowed young children to sit behind the wheel of the fire truck andexplained the fire fighting equipment on the trucks to both children and adults. The firefightersare always well received at community events and enjoy the interaction with the general public.When possible, our walkabout Sparky was in attendance to further promote fire safety education.
A large selection of fire safety videos is available through the fire prevention office and alongwith being used in several of our presentation, these videos are also loaned out to schools andbusinesses and organizations upon request.
During fire prevention week, two contests were run in the elementary schools. One of thesecontests was developed by fire prevention and more than 800 entry forms were circulated to theschools. Another contest developed by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council was alsodistributed to the schools by this division. These contests were developed to encourage thetesting and maintenance of smoke alarms and escape planning in the home.
During the Fall “change your clock, change your battery” smoke alarm campaign, the firefightersare involved in an in-service program where they attend every classroom in the city’s schoolsand change the battery in the smoke alarm teaching aide plaque that was donated to everyclassroom. The batteries are provided by the fire department free of charge. This allows an

opportunity for the firefighters to speak with the students to remind them of the importance ofhaving their parents check their smoke alarm at home and change the battery where required.
Not included in the above numbers are the many public service announcements which arepublished in local newspapers and aired on Brockville’s two radio stations. Fire safety messageswere delivered through the media to Brockville residents and the large surrounding areathroughout the year, with particular emphasis during Fire Prevention Week in October andduring the vulnerable Christmas holiday season.
Although the fire prevention division oversees the public education effort, the fire fighting crewsare involved when and where possible.

FIRE PREVENTION TRAINING & EDUCATION
A number of training courses and seminars were attended by fire prevention staff throughout2009. These included;
Chief Fire Prevention Officer: - 2 certification courses at the Ontario Fire College- FPO Seminar at the Ontario Fire College- Residential Sprinkler Seminar re changes to Bldg Code- Hoarding Seminar — Part 1- Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Training
Fire Prevention Officer: - I certification course at the Ontario Fire College- OMFPOA Training Symposium- Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Training
Fire Prevention Secretary: - Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Training
Throughout the year, fire prevention staff provided training in house to the on-duty fire crews inthe areas of in-service inspections and report writing, as well as on the Home Fire SafetyAwareness Program. As requested, each crew was provided with refresher courses to assist themwith their annual inspection duties. 8 training sessions were provided to on-duty personnel in2009.
MEETINGS
Fire prevention staff spends a great deal of their time in meetings with other agencies or city staffas well as on the telephone answering inquiries to fire safety issues. In 2009, the chief tireprevention officer attended over 180 meetings on behalf of the fire department. Theseincluded a number of meetings for Project Encore at the Arts Centre, as well as the proposed TallShips Landing project.
These meeting numbers do not include phone meetings that take place on a regular basis withengineers and architects on building projects, or with the Office of the Fire Marshal. A great dealof the fire prevention office’s time is spent on the telephone responding to requests forinformation on fire safety requirements for buildings and other general fire safety information.We also do a number of inspection assists with other fire departments in our area.
Quarterly meetings of the Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers Association (OMFPOA)were attended this year by the fire prevention officers, where training sessions are provided andinformation is shared amongst attending municipalities.
Court proceeding took up a large amount of fire prevention officers’ time; not only in filing courtdocuments and writing prosecutor briefs, but both officers went to trial this year on 2 separateoccasions.

HOME FIRE SAFETY AWARENESS PROGRAM - 2009 REPORT
I am pleased to provide you with a 2009 year end report on our Department’s ongoing
Home Fire Safety Awareness Program. This was the third year of the program. A one
page synopsis is attached for your perusal.
In 2009, a total of 1183 homes were approached and of those, 607 residents welcomed
the firefighters to conduct a fire safety inspection of their home. Access was denied to 43
homes in the city. This number is up from the previous two years. As you recall, poor
weather affected the number ofhouses visited last year.
As in past years, homeowners who were not home at the time of the firefighters’ visit
were left a notice indicating they could contact this Department if they wished to set up
an appointment for an inspection. A few homeowners have called to request an
inspection and the captain in charge of that area of the city was informed and requested to
follow up. The program ran from mid May to mid October.
Smoke Alarms
Of the 607 homes inspected last year, 67 did not have a smoke alarm on each level of the
home, and 22 did not have a working smoke alarm in the sleeping area. Firefighters
replaced a total of 20 smoke alarm batteries where required. This was done at no cost to
the home owner.
7.7% of the homes had smoke alarms installed in locations that were not appropriate. The
firefighters advised or assisted occupants with the re-location of the alarms. Hopefully,
this will assist in the reduction of nuisance alarms which, as you are aware, is one of the
goals of this program. 85% of residents of the homes inspected said they regularly test
their smoke alarms.
20 smoke alarms were temporarily installed (on loan) in those homes that did not have a
smoke alarm outside the sleeping area. This practice ensures the firefighters meet our
2Home Safety Awareness ProgramJanuary 6, 2010
{ItemDescription} Page 36 of 70
Department’s policy of never leaving a home without a working smoke alarm. In somecases, where possible, alarms were relocated to protect the sleeping area.
Home Escape Planning
60% of the residents of the homes inspected stated they had a home escape plan, however
only 38% of that group actually practised their plan.
Accessory Apartments in the Home
Fifteen properties were indicated to have accessory apartments in the residence and a
follow-up is being done by Fire Prevention for Fire Code compliance.
Batteries
Firefighters recorded a total of 20 batteries having been installed as part of this program.
This service is provided free of charge to homeowners. This battery program is not only
greatly appreciated by the public, but it also relieves the firefighters of the responsibility
of handling money, making correct change, and preparing receipts.
3Home Safety Awareness ProgramJanuary 6, 2010
{ItemDescription} Page 37 of 70
SUMMARY
Since the program commenced on May 15, 2007, a total of 2984 residences were
approached to conduct a home safety inspection. Of the dwelling units visited to date,
1625 homes have been accessed for inspection. 103 homes were not inspected as access
to the property was denied.
With respect to the firefighters conducting these inspections, we continue to hear positive
feedback from them. The feedback from Brockville residents indicates the program is
still being well received by the community at large.
We are pleased to report that a small percentage of our homes were found to be lacking in
the area of required smoke alarms and only a small number were recommended for re
location of alarms.
Escape planning remains an area of concern with 40% of homes having no escape plan,
and of those that do have a plan in place for their families (verbal or written), only 38%
stated they actually practise it.
I trust this report provides the information you require.

2009 EQUIPMENT UPGRADES & REPLACEMENTSAnd FIRE STATION REPAIRS
During 2009 the fire department continued to upgrade and replace our aging Hurst Jawsof Life equipment to meet today’s standards and expectations for automobile extrication.- a new Hurst Triple Pump Power unit was purchased, this power supply allows for
simultaneous line operation for three rescue tools, Meaning that three rescue workershave the advantage of operating from the same power unit without alternating use,changing out tools or flipping any levers. Tools can be exchanged on one line withoutinterrupting the operation of the second or third line.
- the power supply line coupling system on our main set of extrication equipment wasreplaced by a user friendly Streamline Coupling system which simplifies theconnecting and disconnecting of hydraulic rescue tools and saves valuable time at therescue scene. It is our intention during 2010 to change the coupling system on oursmaller hydraulic system - a combination extrication tool. By changing thecoupling systems on the remainder of our tools all of our equipment will be compatiblewith the tools used by surrounding fire departments.
- the air bag rescue system has been replaced by a Hurst/Vetter Airbag 67 System thenew system has two airbags, one with the capability to lift 21 ton and the other 34 ton.
The replacement of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus in our Respiratory ProtectionProgram is an ongoing project. Three Scott 75 SCBA units were purchased this year,bringing the total number of replaced units to-date to fifteen.
The protective clothing — Bunker Gear replacement program is another of the on-goingrequired annual purchases. Under normal working conditions the bunker gear has aprojected life expectancy of eight to ten years. This year the department purchased a totalof five sets of bunker gear, three replacement sets and two sets for new employees. Theproduct line used at BFD is the Globe GX7 model.
The department purchased materials and a staff member designed and constructed aBunker Gear Drying Rack as part of our equipment maintenance program. A FireFighter Survival training simulator was also designed and built by staff members.
A much needed refurbishment - body work! paint job was completed on Tele-Squrt 2,a 1996 Pierce Quantum model, 65’ ladder, front line response vehicle.
Safety concerns have been addressed and alterations were completed early in 2009 in theupper level of the hose tower and some additional shelving for storage was installed inthe Annex at Station One.
The exterior door and window trim along with the fire escape of the training tower wererepainted at Station 2.

the Pre-Service Firefighter Program in this community.ww.Lstiawrenca#oIIsge.ca
The relationship established in this partnership allows students to haveaccess to firefighters who provide the students with opportunities todiscuss how the theoretical elements being taught in the classroom areimplemented in the field. The firefighters, Captains, Deputy Chief andFire Chief provide input into the curriculum outcomes and theimplementation of the practical training exercises that the Pre-ServiceFirefighter students are required to achieve throughout their program.Many of the Brockville Fire Department staff support our faculty inaccessing the knowledge, skills and abilities of our students relative to theprescribed curriculum. They also are involved in the Program AdvisoryCommittee. This input is essential to ensuring we produce qualitygraduates.
In addition to the human resource expertise that we have access to, the useof the training facilities at the fire station is essential to the program. Inessence, without access to both the firefighter professionals and thefacilities, St. Lawrence College, Brockville would not be able to offer thisprogram. This partnership is essential to our program.

In 2009 the Communications Centre received just over 3,600 emergencycalls which resulted in 2,380 fire department responses. It also receivedand monitored almost 2,500 (2,497) monthly alarm tests that are requiredby the Ontario Fire Code.

The communications and logistical support provided by “Fire Dispatch”varies depending on the severity of each call. The average length of timeper incident (from time of call to time last unit cleared) is approximately 48minutes, 55 seconds. This does not include the time required to completethe reports that must be submitted to each responding fire department orthe Fire Marshal’s Office.

The Committees met with Staff including Valerie Harvey, Rick Pankhurst, DarleneBuffett and Lesley White. The following reorganization of the lobby was decided:
1. The individual Sports Hall of Fame Plaques be placed on tracks on the southside of the lobby where the current Wall of Honour and Donor plaques areplaced.
2. The Wall of Honour and Donor Plaques be relocated to the north wall of thelobby entrance where the hockey trophy showcase is currently located.
3. The team Sports Hall of Fame Plaques will be placed on the east wall of thelobby entrance where the notice board now sits.
4. The notice board will be removed and replaced by a new advertising signage thatwill include the room assignments. This board will provide the City an ongoingrevenue source.
5. The hockey trophy showcase will be removed. Ownership of the showcase willbe determined and the showcase will be returned. The management of theBrockville Braves have been consulted and have agreed to this move.
