Fire Department - Personnel

Personnel: The Department consists of thirteen career people: Fire chief on a 40-hour week schedule; three lieutenants and nine firefighters on a 24 hour a day, 56 hour a week schedule; and 18 part-time firefighters who are on call.

Career Personnel: Lt. Ken Doell, Lt. Richard Stuewer, Lt. Michael Frangipane, FF Michael Smith, FF John Soukup, FF Pat May, FF Kalin Montevideo, FF Michael Writt, FF Matt Austad, FF Tim Dietman, FF Brent Wiegand, and FF Mark Smith

Training: All firefighters are required to become State Certified Firefighter I and State Certified First Responder/AED. Most Department members exceed the minimum requirements. Department members are also trained in cold water rescue techniques and confined space rescue.

Part-time firefighters: Eighteen part-time firefighters supplement the career staff. They carry pagers and are on call at all times for major incidents and are on call every third week for minor incidents and working nights at the station. The part-time firefighters are compensated with: $100 monthly retainer; $20 per hour for calls; $10 per hour for training; $75 a night for weekday night duty; $120 a night for weekends and holidays. Part-time firefighters are required to train to the same level as career firefighters, this usually takes about five years. Part-time firefighters are given priority when career positions open up.
