One of the fire calls was a "General Alarm", a fire large enough to call in all off -duty firefighters. The "General AlarmFire", was a garage fire located at 233 Third Avenue East. The garage was totally involved in fire when we got to the scene. It is undetermined as to how the fire started. Our fire marshal determined where it started, but not how it started.

They also went to Lakeside (South) and Somers (Central) school at the request of the fire chief of each department. The theme of this years "Puppet Show" was ,"Watch what You Heat, Prevent Home Fires". The total number of student contacts were 735 students and 36 teachers. Our eight personnel that are taking the "Emergency Medical Technicians Paramedic Course", are still very active in the course. They took one of the final tests for the course, a 300 question test that they had to pass in order for them to be eligible to take the National Exam. All of our personnel scored in the 80 and 90 percent range. Our first personnel left for Spokane, Washington on October 31st to train with the Spokane Ambulance Service. Each of the personnel taking the Paramedic Course must go to Spokane for 60 hours of Field Internship. There were 31 people that used the "Kalispell Firefighters Chimney Brush Program,"during October 1995. The Kalispell Firefighters (no taxpayer money), bought the brushes and rods to be loaned to anyone who needs to clean their chimney. There were 12 groups of students that toured the fire station during October 1995. A total of 251 students and 44 adults participated in the tours. Respectfully Submitted, 7 Z�4' Ted A.

We are reminded of its' age as illustrated by the following examples: Paint is peeling off the walls in the sludge truck garage, the belt filter press room, in the scum box on top of the primary digester, on the floor under the grit schimmer and under the solid waste barrels in the Headworks Building. Concrete is eroding in the Gravity Thickener unit. The disinfection system ultraviolet bulbs are being replaced at an accelerated rate, and these bulbs cost approximately $50 each. The blower units that run the air system to remove phosphorus had to be realigned this month because of vibration of these units. Both of the belt filter press stainless tanks where sludge and polymer are mixed had to be sent out to be rewelded where the seams had broken. It was reported last month that we failed to pass the toxicity test on one species of fish. We retested and passed this time. We should not have to do another test until 1996. We are continuing to work with Evergreen on the hydrogen sulfide gas problem in the Headworks Building. We have found that if Evergreen injects a small amount of air at their final lift station, the gas problem is reduced considerably. We are presently trying the system without injecting air to see if the gas is still a problem in colder weather. The rainfall this month affected the Plant flows. For example, 0.37" of rain on October 3rd increased the flow approximately 500,000 gallons, as did the 0.5" of rain on October 1 lth. We experienced an upward trend in our total phosphorus, but a change in the bioreactor cell configuration has reduced the phosphorus back to our typical low levels. The Street Department helped us by building a safe parking area at the Cemetery Road & Ashley Creek crossing. They also constructed a trail down to the culverts and built a platform on the culverts. Ashley creek is sampled weekly at this point.
