Concur in part; disagree in part. It was being considered at the time of the Grand Jury's report, but as of the date of this response it is not being considered.
No recommendations for this finding
Concur in part; disagree in part. The staffing goal for E-81 is three full time employees around the clock. However, part time/paid call personnel are eligible to fill open shift positions resulting from vacations, absences, etc., so there are occasions, particularly on one of the three shifts where there is a current vacancy, when the three- person crew includes part time/paid call personnel. In addition, during evenings and weekends, a fourth crewmember (part time/paid call) is added to E-81.
No recommendations for this finding
Concur in part; disagree in part. Station 82 (also called Station 2) is unstaffed except on Saturdays from 0800 to 1800 under a current pilot program utilizing part time/paid call personnel, and if needed, available full time personnel. The rest of the week Station 82 is unstaffed and in the event of an emergency off duty part time/paid call and off duty full time personnel respond when available to staff equipment out of Stations 82 and 81.

No recommendations for this finding
Concur in part; disagree in part. If a part time/paid call firefighter is filling one of the three "full time" positions, E-81 is not dispatched on "automatic aid" to a County incident; however, the County IC, which can be a Captain, may request E-81 immediately under the terms of the existing mutual aid agreement. Some part time/paid call personnel have expressed dissatisfaction with this arrangement.
