Message from the Fire Chief Dear Resident, The Irving Fire Department (IFD) is a very proactive, progressive and frontrunner amongst fire departments throughout the State of Texas. We have several projects in the pipeline to make our city safer and provide a higher quality of life for both residents and businesses. Of course our ultimate goal is to reduce the impact of any emergency on our community and that requires extensive training and education by our staff and personnel. The IFD has raised more than $118,800 for various organizations to include, but not limited to, MDA, Burn Camp and Special Olympics. In addition, IFD helped in providing more than 5,000 stuffed backpacks for local school children through the Supplies for Success program.

We will continue to strive for excellence while delivering top-notch services to our community. It is my pleasure to present the IFD 2015-16 Annual Report.

Specialty Teams Specialty teams have been created within the IFD to respond to special operation incidents such as a chemical spill, someone trapped in a trench or to a high-water rescue. These types of incidents require more specialized training, specialty rescue tools and specialty vehicles that are used at these incidents.

Haz-Mat: Our hazardous materials response team consists of two in-service fire companies with two specialty support vehicles. Their primary function is to carry out tactical procedures needed to control or stabilize incidents involving hazardous materials. This team is assigned to Station 8 which has a Hazardous Materials Unit to respond in the event of a chemical spill or release.

Swift-Water Rescue Team: Texas weather often causes high-water conditions. The three lakes that are located in the city, the creeks, canals and the Trinity River provide firefighters with an opportunity to practice water rescue.

The Swift-Water Rescue Team is a specially trained and equipped rescue team having the skills and tools necessary to make rescues in unusual situations dealing with water-type emergencies. This team is assigned to Station 1 which has a zodiac boat and trailer for swift-water responses as well as Boat 8 on Lake Carolyn.

Technical Rescue: Irving’s firefighters have been trained in various types of technical rescues, such as high-angle rescue, trench rescue, heavy machinery rescue and vehicle extrication. This service provides rescue to victims trapped in hard to reach areas such as the bottom of holes, on building ledges, train trestles or window-washer platforms.

The Technical Rescue Team is assigned to Station 6 which has a heavy rescue vehicle for technical rescue responses.

Operations Division Lead by Assistant Fire Chief Jack Taylor Specialty Programs Honor Guard: For more than 20 years, the IFD has been proud of all the members of its Honor Guard. As ambassadors to the Fire Service Family, the activities of the IFD Honor Guard include, but are not limited to, marching in parades, ceremonial services, memorial services, opening ceremonies for conferences and city events. As members of the North Texas Honor Guard Society, the guard has proudly represented the City of Irving and the IFD at numerous events, memorials and funerals across the Metroplex and Texas. The primary goal is to provide a memorable tribute to the families of fallen, active or retired firefighters, with a commitment to excellence in a respectful and military manner.

Chaplain: Who is the Chaplain? Jimmie R. Duncan (aka -”JR”), has been the Chaplain since 1999 in addition to his normal duties as a driver assigned to Station 4B. Why do we have a Chaplain?

• To meet emotional and spiritual needs of IFD members and families.

• To prepare IFD through Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) training for crisis events.

• To conduct CISM interventions after traumatic events.

• To promote the well-being of IFD members.

• To enhance the overall image of IFD in the community.

What does the Chaplain do?

Assist IFD members and families in times of crisis and other important events. The Chaplain will: • provide basic counseling.

• provide CISM assistance.

• act as IFD liaison to the community.

• perform hospital visits for members and families.

• participate in community events.

• speak at churches and youth meetings.

• provide spiritual guidance when requested.

Although commonly referred to as “Dispatchers,” the communications division personnel serve multiple functions including: 911 call taking, radio dispatching and monitoring, nonemergency call switchboard, database information, inventory control of all Fire Department hand-held portable radios and batteries, preparation and distribution of press releases for major incidents, operation of the city-wide emergency warning system, location tracking and movement coordination for the most efficient emergency response equipment. Calls responding to and calls for Mutual Aid requests are processed by dispatch. The members also are involved in communicating “pre-arrival” instructions to the callers providing assistance with CPR, childbirth, first aid, etc. prior to the arrival of the responding EMS response.

While the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) prompts the closest response for equipment, the dispatchers monitor the location and status of all department equipment, traffic congestion and road construction to routinely make necessary assignment adjustments, ensuring a rapid response to the incidents in the City of Irving. The communications division received 41,408 total emergency calls and efficiently processed 26,169 medical emergency and Fire/Rescue calls. The average time required to process a call from the time it was received until a response was dispatched was 56 seconds.

Special Services Division Lead by Assistant Fire Chief Tony Harvey Training: Located at 2603 Esters Road, the Fire Training Academy is staffed by one Captain, one Lieutenant and one Fire Equipment Operator who coordinates continuing education as well as new product and refresher training for the IFD. They also maintain state-required training records.

The Training Academy is now certified as a Basic Firefighter Academy Facility with the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) and now has the capability to train future recruits for certification.

Investing in Our Community MDA Fill-the-Boot: Every year Irving firefighters position themselves at the busiest intersections of Irving with their firefighter boots in hand to raise funds for the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Fill-the-Boot campaign. This year the IFD, Irving Professional Firefighters Association and Irving Citizen’s Fire Academy collected $86,244 to help those with muscular dystrophy thanks to the generosity of the Irving community.

Tip-a-Firefighter for Special Olympics: With the help of Cheddars Irving and the community, Irving firefighters collected donations for Special Olympics. The IFD is the only fire department, among many police departments, that collects money through this event. Every year with the help of the community, IFD is able to collect more than $3,000 in one day.

School Supplies for Success: The IFD partners up with the Irving Mayor, Irving ISD, Irving Family YMCA and several local organizations every year to collect and distribute backpacks filled with supplies to children who otherwise would not be able to afford school supplies for the beginning of the school year. This year more than 5,000 stuffed backpacks were distributed to Irving’s neediest children.

Blue Christmas: For more than 30 years, the IFD along with the police department and the residents of Irving, have collected and delivered toys and food to underprivileged families in the City of Irving. This year food and toys were delivered to more than 400 families.

Pancake Breakfast: Every year Irving firefighters along with the help of the Citizens Fire Academy Alumni members and Plymouth Park Baptist Church, host a pancake breakfast with Santa and Sparky to help raise funds for Blue Christmas. This event, which takes place the second Saturday of December every year, brought in $3,937 this year.

13

Smoke Alarm Installation with Red Cross: The IFD along with the Red Cross provided and installed smoke alarms in homes older than 1986 in Irving. The fire department identified neighborhoods in need of smoke alarms and assisted Red Cross in canvassing 200 homes and installing 484 smoke alarms, provided by Red Cross.

This coordination will address the need for residential smoke alarms in Irving and help reduce fire risks.

Community Outreach Show and Tells, Station Tours: Nonprofit organizations and schools contact the IFD to have equipment come out to their events or sometimes want to come visit the fire stations to find out what firemen do. Irving fire apparatus and personnel performed 66 show and tells or station tours to 12,283 children/adults.

Don’t Forget the Baby: During the summer months, when the Texas temperature increases, the IFD offers free window static clings to help residents remember not to leave a child or pet unattended in a vehicle. Since the launch of this program in 2010, more than 5,000 static clings have been distributed at Irving city events.

Vial of L.I.F.E.: The Vial of L.I.F.E. — Lifesaving Information For Emergencies — is a program created for Irving residents ages 60 or older as a public service from the IFD to store important medical information for emergency medical personnel during a time of crisis. More than 1,500 Irving residents participate in this program.

Irving Fire Cares Enough to Wear Pink: Irving firefighters, in conjunction with firefighters throughout the nation, have designed a unique pink fire department T-shirt worn most of the month of October to help raise awareness and funds for Baylor Irving Women’s Imaging Center and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network.

Leadership Irving: Every year leaders of the business community come to the Fire Training Academy to learn more about what Irving firefighters do. They are taken through a 4-hour hands-on crash course on firefighting lead by Irving Fire Training Officers.

Texas Special Olympics State Games: Every Memorial Day weekend, the IFD volunteer to staff the medical support team for the Texas Special Olympics State Games that take place at the campus of the University of Texas in Arlington.

Dallas 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb: On Saturday, September 10, 18 IFD members climbed 110 floors in full protective gear at the Renaissance Tower in Dallas. These members climbed in honor of the 343 fallen brothers and sisters who died in the line of duty at the World Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
