Findings and Recommendations 6 findings
F1
Most Volunteer Fire Departments are having trouble keeping personnel, mostly due to the Ramero Bill (SB 1207) of 2002 which requires many hours of training, the same training that paid Fire Fighter have to go through. The amount of hours required for training is more than most volunteers can afford to take time off work to attend.

R1
Band together with other Rural California Volunteer Fire Departments to revise the Ramero Bill, so that Volunteer Fire Departments are exempt from the same training that Paid Fire Departments have to under go.
F2
Ramero Bill is to make everyone safe, Safety for Fire Fighters. Volunteers have to know what their training covers, and stay with in their training scope.

R2
Volunteers that are older and those who do not have the training to do jobs around the fire stations to free up the ones who have the training to respond to emergencies. For example, cleaning, yard work, inventory and office work. ٠.,

Since Hurricane "Trina" all the Fire Departments are working on Emergency Disaster plans. All agree communication is the biggest problem. Some satellite phones are in place in Trinity County, mostly in local community schools. Our mountainous terrain is the number one problem with reception.

Find funding, grants etc for more satellite phones, and to place relay towers where needed to boost the reception of the phones.

If a disaster happened in Trinity County, because houses are sometime far apart, communities are miles apart, communication would be difficult. Response: I agree with this finding.
