This is a total of 45 fire runs, three of which were a "General Alarm", (a fire large enough
to call in all off -duty firefighters). The estimated total fire loss for the first quarter was
$195,000.00. The first "General Alarm", fire was at City Service West on January 2,1996 at
10:02 A.M.. The fire started when a worker was thawing a frozen truck tire with a heat gun.
He then left the area and apparently forgot about the heat gun. The tire and room caught
fire while he was gone. The fire did an estimated dollar loss of $22,000.00. The second
"General Alarm" fire was on January 3,1996 located at 2291/ 2 8th Street East. The fire
apparently started from grease left in an electric fry pan. The fire did a large amount of
smoke and fire damage to the basement apartment that the fire started in. The estimated
dollar loss for this fire is $20,000.00. The third "General Alarm" was on March 1,1996,
located at 135 9th Street West. The fire started from or around the furnace. A large
amount of fuel was gone from the underground fuel tank after the fire. This fuel fed the

H
fire which was then very hard to put out. The estimated dollar loss for this fire is
$150,000.00. There was one mutual aid fire call to Smith Valley Fire Department located
at 15 Appleway Drive. The fire was started from an electrical short and did an estimated
$25,000.00 damage.
The ambulances made 442 runs for the first quarter of 1996 with a total mileage traveled of
7395 miles. This quarter there were 86 ambulance runs that were no haul, (patients
refused treatment, non -injury accidents, etc). Also, this quarter there were ll ambulance
runs that at least two patients ere treated and transported.

All firefighters were involved in fire and emergency medical training this quarter. The man
hours devoted to training were 1280. Of this training 830 man-hours were done on -duty,
while 450 man- hours were done off -duty. Some of the training areas involved are listed
below:
Our eight personnel that took the "Emergency Medical Technicians Paramedics Course,"
took the National Test on February 24-25,1996. Because they werent given the proper
amount of time to take the written test, they were retested on the written part on February
29,1996. All eight of our personnel just received written notice form the National E. M. T.
Bureau that they all passed the test. Everyone of them scored very high on this test. They
all did an excellent job and need to be highly commended.

Fire Prevention activities occurring during the first quarter of 1996 were as follows: 307
commercial building inspections with the fire marshal reinspecting 25 of the commercial
buildings to correct the more serious problems resulting in 5 correction letters. The fire
marshal handled 37 complaint inspections resulting in 28 corrections letters being sent out.
The fire marshal put together all of the inspections forms and information sheets for the
1996 inspections.
The fire marshal has completed a partial occupancy permit for the Summit located at 205
Sunny View Lane.
Public fire safety activities included fire safety talks, and demonstrations given to various
civic, industrial, church and school groups. These activities contacted 640 people. The
public fire safety subject areas during this quarter were:
Other Kalispell Fire Department contacts were made with 58 students and 14 adults in the
form of Kalispell Fire Department tours. There were 54 people who used the "Kalispell

money) bought the rods and brushes to be loaned to anyone who needs to clean their
chimney.
