Public Education Presentations <br />The Fire Prevention Branch conducted 4 Public Education Presentations. One of the <br />presentations was a Firewise Home Assessment in Waikoloa to educate a homeowner in <br />creating a safe home in the Wildlife Urban Interface (WUI) area. Prevention personnel also <br />provided information at a career fair pertaining to Firefighter employment. <br />Complaints <br />Fire Prevention Branch investigated 12 complaints. This was a lot of complaints, as it takes time <br />to investigate, research, and write reports which redirects manpower from other tasks. <br />FEMA Grant <br />Fire Inspector Tyson Goo has taken the initiative and has been relentlessly working on a FEMA <br />grant to obtain a new Fire Prevention vehicle as the current vehicles are old and have high <br />mileage. Fire Inspector Goo has put in more than 30 hours of research and attended meetings <br />pertaining to this grant for the month of February. <br />Fire Prevention Inspections, Acceptances, & Certificates, February 2023 <br />Inspection Type <br />February <br />Commercial Inspections <br />124 <br />Commercial Reinspections <br />73 <br />Certificate of Occupancy Kona Village <br />Resort <br />68 <br />Fire Protection System Acceptance Testing <br />43 <br />Educational Inspections <br />8 <br />Tank Inspections <br />7 <br />Site Inspections <br />7 <br />Tent Inspections <br />1 <br />Educational Reinspections <br />1 <br />Total <br />332 <br />Logistics, Emergency Communications, and Vehicle <br />Maintenance Section <br />Emergency Communications <br />Fire Communications Officer I Position <br />FCO I interviews were held Feb. 1.
