La Porte Fire Control, Prevention, <br />and Emergency Medical Services District — 2011 <br />Service Plan <br />1. Strategies <br />The mission for the City of La Porte's Fire Department is to provide the community with the <br />most efficient and progressive Fire Prevention, Protection, and Emergency Services possible in an <br />effective and responsible manner. This mission is accomplished by providing the best possible <br />training, updated equipment, and protocols for the people that respond. The Fire Control, <br />Prevention, and Emergency Medical Services District (LPFCPEMSD) will incorporate strategies <br />to help the Fire Department accomplish their mission. <br />Item 1- Additional Personnel <br />The LPFCPEMSD will provide funding for a Safety /Training Officer. Duties will include <br />responding to calls as a safety officer to help meet NFPA recommendations. This will assist in the <br />safety of firefighters and citizens. The position will also be responsible for the weekly training of <br />firefighters both career and volunteer. <br />Item 2 — Fire Response and Medical Supplies <br />The LPFCPEMSD will provide funding for response supplies including personal <br />protective equipment, safety equipment, and medical response equipment. This will ensure our <br />personnel have up to date protective and safety equipment to meet state and national standards. <br />Item 3 — Response Equipment <br />The LPFCPEMSD will provide funding for response equipment to include fire engines, <br />rescue trucks, ladder trucks, and ambulances. Providing funding to replace these vehicles on a <br />regular basis will ensure response reliability, and a decrease in down time repairs. <br />Item 4 — Training <br />The LPFCPEMSD will provide funding for personnel to attend training classes and <br />seminars to keep up to date with the latest technologies and procedures available in the <br />surrounding areas, state, and country.
