Hawaii Fire Commission <br />Regular Session Minutes <br />July 21, 2022 <br />Page 5 <br />Sayre Foundation: Fundraiser dinner is on for Labor Day weekend (September 3) at <br />the Fairmont Orchid. Chief Todd stated that this is an amazing gala, dinner, and <br />silent auction. It's an opportunity to recognize some of HFD's amazing personnel. <br />Tickets are online and are available for purchase. It's about $140 a ticket, the Sayre <br />Foundation doesn't make any money off the tickets they sell. In the last two years or <br />so, the Sayre Foundation has donated approximately $8 million to the Fire <br />Department. This is their gala event to bring in additional funding through bids on <br />live and silent auctions and to recognize HFD personnel. <br />Chair Kosaki asked about the status of rescue boat 7. Chief Todd stated it's <br />currently pending. <br />Emergency Medical Services Branch: <br />✓ 51st recruit class is moving into EMS. <br />✓ HFD has three MICT personnel. Training will be completed by the end of <br />August or early September. <br />Chair Kosaki asked if they go through training, graduate, and then go to EMT class. <br />Chief Todd stated that the recruit class does fire training, then EMT training. They <br />have been running into issues getting gear, which has been setting back their <br />timeline due to supply chain issues. He doesn't want personnel going into live fire <br />training until they have NFPA-compliant gear. It's been taking nine months from the <br />day they order to receive the gear when in the past, it used to take three to four <br />months. Because of this, they went to EMT first then live fire training. <br />✓ The EMS Branch is a partner in an island -wide community Fentanyl <br />awareness education initiative. <br />✓ EMS warehouse manager, Tom Clark is the most recent recipient of the <br />Haweo award. They recognized him for his hard work, commitment, and <br />outstanding leadership. <br />✓ HFD is starting its deployment of mobile data terminals. They're also looking <br />at changing their records management system. <br />✓ HFD received a $1.2 million increase in their budget for EMS. Because of this <br />increase, they signed and are moving ahead with the purchase of seven <br />additional ambulances. <br />Training Branch: Chief Todd stated a lot of the training was covered earlier. They <br />conducted ICS training and have been doing live fire in Pohakuloa. <br />• Volunteer Training Section: <br />
