2022 Gulf Shores Fire Rescue Annual Report

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE ANNUAL REPORT

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF SEALY

I am proud to present the 2022 Annual Report for the Gulf Shores Fire Rescue Department. The intent of this report is to showcase the dedication and work performed by GSFR and the GSFR Beach Division over the past year.

As you will see in the report, our Firefighters and Lifeguards have been extremely busy. In addition to the calls for service, they have performed a tremendous amount of hours of training. Additionally, they have provided many hours performing business inspections, community outreach projects, and many other tasks assigned to them.

Our Firefighters and Lifeguards consistently perform at the highest levels, and I consider them among the very best anywhere in the country. Their can-do spirit is inspiring, their relentless pursuit of excellence is contagious, and their willingness to serve is unmatched.

I am blessed and honored to work with such an amazing group of people, and I am fortunate to get to see these things on a regular basis. This report’s purpose is to capture the accomplishments of 2022 and to showcase to everyone what I see daily. While I am not typically one to spend time looking back, I realize the importance of knowing where we were, where we are, and where we are going. I also sincerely want to recognize the efforts of our members who sacrifice for the well-being of our community.

We are blessed to work in a City that cares for its employees and understands the importance of public safety. The culture created within the City of Gulf Shores is one of excellence. Each Department is committed to a high standard and works together seamlessly to provide the best services I have ever seen.

The combination of this support with the character of the Firefighters and Lifeguards of GSFR point to a bright future where there is no limit to the things we can accomplish. I am very proud of our 2022 and look forward to what we will achieve in the future.

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE BY THE NUMBERS

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT

Wow, what a year it has been for the Gulf Shores Fire Department! There have been a lot of things put in place in just twelve short months that have already proven to be so crucial to the citizens of Gulf Shores. We have seen our personnel grow by eleven this year, enabling us to do things we were unable to do in the past. Thank you to our Mayor and City Council for being a part of making this happen.

The area in which we serve is very dynamic, and for us, that means we have to be proficient in several areas to ensure the safety of our citizens and tourists. Within our community, we have the potential for emergencies far outside the normal house fire and EMS call. In Gulf Shores, we are challenged with surf rescue, high-rise condominiums, and an intracoastal waterway with supply barges making their way through every day, not to mention our daily population can grow by several hundred percent on a holiday weekend. I only mention this to acknowledge some of the things we have been able to put in place this year to help ensure we continue to be prepared for the potential emergencies within our city.

As mentioned before, this year we increased our manpower by eleven. Having expanded our workforce, we are able to staff a ladder truck full-time for the first time in Gulf Shores. This is huge for our community since we have so many highrise structures. As with all fire departments in the country, EMS is the leading cause of emergency calls that we run. One of the new personnel we were able to put in place

was a full-time EMS Officer to ensure all of our providers maintain the highest level of continued education training. He also oversees all of the daily EMS operations for our department. Another aspect this position has had a massive influence on is the growing number of Nationally Registered Paramedics within our department. Just this year, we have had fourteen newly graduated paramedics and eleven more in school. By the time this group of firefighters finish their schooling, we will have over eighty percent of our firefighters certified as Nationally Registered Paramedics ensuring our citizens are receiving the best care possible. The last position we were able to create was a Fire Inspector. This position assists the Fire Marshall with the ever-growing demand of new construction, renovation, and community risk reduction. One thing we were able to implement this year was a smoke detector program that ensures every home in the City of Gulf Shores has at least one working smoke alarm.

2022 brought great things to our fire department and the people living and staying in our city. I feel that we are one of the all-around best-trained departments. Most importantly, our crew has a true passion for being public servants. With 2023 on the horizon, our department is prepared to grow and learn from our past experiences. We are honored to continue to serve the citizens of the City of Gulf Shores!

FIREFIGHTER OF THE YEAR JAKE VANSICKLER

Jake started with Gulf Shores Fire Rescue almost nine years ago, on March 13th, 2014. Since his hire, Jake has been a leading example of a young firefighter and a public servant. Before becoming a firefighter, Jake was a lifeguard on our beaches, igniting his passion for helping others. Not long after Jake graduated from recruit school near the top of his class, he sought ways to help his community further. Nothing could accomplish that more significantly than going to paramedic school, which is a 2-year endeavor in itself. Jake has found a real passion in EMS. He was assigned to the EMS committee responsible for overseeing all of the training and QA for our department under the guidance of the EMS Officer. The next personal goal for Jake was to be a member of the Gulf Shores SWAT Medic team, which requires a tremendous amount of training, and obtain an additional National Registered Tactical Paramedic License, once again proving his commitment to the citizens of Gulf Shores. Recently we created Field Training Officers within our EMS Division, and Jake was one of the first to volunteer and is doing a tremendous job. Just this year, Jake was tasked with being an acting officer on a fire truck, where he more than stepped up to the challenge. Jake embraced the responsibility, ensuring his crew was trained both mentally and physically. He poured into every crew member, encouraging them to constantly push to be their best. As if this weren’t enough, Jake works on his off days as a beach supervisor for the City of Orange beach, keeping his kills sharp as a certified USLA lifeguard. I guess you could say that Jake’s accomplishments are a body of work to public service throughout his career from start to present, all the more reason Jake VanSickler was nominated by his peers to be awarded the Firefighter of the Year for 2022.

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE ISO CLASS 1 RATING

Gulf shores’ ISO-1 rating at the top of the Insurance Services Office requires constant attention to detail and dedication throughout the department.

In 2016, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) classified Gulf Shores Fire rescue as one of the top departments nationwide. Every fire department is rated between 1 to 10 with 1 being the best. Only 320 out of 44,000 departments have an ISO-1 rating.

Maintaining or improving the top rating requires ongoing dedication and improvements. Key tests occur annually that ensure the equipment and apparatuses are in top working order.

Education is key and firefighters continuously do on-the-job training to maintain current skills and to learn new ones. Thousands of hours are logged each year, including sharpening old skills and learning new ones.

Water supply is a key component of fire operations, and the department inspects hydrants annually to find any that have problems or need to be replaced.

Business inspections and pre-planning for incidents is also a crucial part of the overall preparation.

Firefighters visit businesses throughout the year as part of being prepared for any emergency scenarios that could arise.

All of the pumps in engines and ladder trucks are tested each year to make sure they are capable of delivering their capacity. All hose diameters are tested, all ladders are tested and aerial apparatuses are certified. The city maintains adequate reserve engines and ladder trucks.

Communication is a key aspect and the Baldwin County 911 System maintains a strong dispatch team and computer-aided dispatch.

Companies respond to incidents as quickly as possible, striving to safely minimize response times and to meet guidelines.

Gulf Shores Fire Rescue’s Community Risk Reduction is a key component, offering Fire Prevention Code enforcement, public education and fire investigations.

BEACH SAFETY DIVISION

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE BEACH SAFETY DIVISION

In 2018, the City of Gulf Shores continued to commit to the protection of our residents and seasonal guests by moving the lifeguard division to Fire Rescue and assigning a fulltime Division Chief that was assisted by the Lieutenant and thirty seasonal lifeguards. In 2021, we hired a second Lieutenant to help protect the public. This division is led by Beach Safety Chief Joethan Phillips, Beach Safety Lieutenant Dylan Hess, Beach Safety Lieutenant Lauren Bozeman, 30 seasonal open-water lifeguards, and 4 beach rangers. Lifeguards span 10 miles of beachfront with 12 static lifeguard towers and 4 roving patrols. Each day during the summer months, there are 16 lifeguards and 2 rangers on duty. Lifeguards are trained in accordance to the United States Lifesaving Association open water lifeguard saving standard, First-aid & CPR, Emergency Vehicle Operations, and Emergency Medical Response. In addition, all full-time staff are certified firefighters, and licensed paramedics.

In Chief Phillip’s strategic plan, he noted the need for additional lifeguard towers at the city-owned beach accesses located at 10th and 12th street on West Beach Blvd. Additionally, there are approximately 4 miles of beachfront located west of Calloway Pass that lifeguards

respond to emergency calls. The lifeguard’s primary role is protecting beaches within our city. Additional roles are that of educating the public about the hidden dangers that may be present at the beach. Lifeguards conduct thousands of educational talks throughout the year; these include rip current awareness, heat-related emergencies, the dangers of holes on the beach, and general information about the area. Lifeguards respond to hundreds of calls for swimmers in distress and affect many rescues due to surf conditions, poor swimming ability, and swift water. In addition to protecting beachgoers, the lifeguards in Gulf Shores respond to sick and injured birds and marine life.

This year, with assistance from Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism and The City of Orange Beach, we created the BEach SAFE program. This was designed to inform and notify guests in the area about surf conditions and awareness. Lifeguards from Orange Beach and Gulf Shores conducted thousands of surveys to gather information about what the people on the beach already know about beach safety so that we can better serve the public.

LIFEGUARD OF THE YEAR MAC HIRSH

2022 was Mac Hirsh’s fourth year with our Beach Rescue Division. He performed an outstanding job this season. Mac has demonstrated responsibility, leadership, and dedication throughout his career on the beach. Mac works as a patrol often helping the rookies get adjusted to lifeguarding on our beaches. Mac has been involved in two significant rescues where he was vital in saving several lives; one of which was while double red flags were posted. Without regard for his own personal safety, Mac continues to enter our waters, matter how rough, to perform rescues.

During the 2022 season, Mac had a total of 96 preventative actions, 234 public contacts, 100 minor medical calls, and 59 enforcements.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR CADE WILLIAMS

Lifeguard Cade Williams started his first year with Gulf Shores Beach Rescue this year and has grown to be an exceptional lifeguard. Cade is the epitome of a gogetter. Cade worked extremely hard to earn his spot on the beach this season. However, his hard work and determination did not stop once he was hired. Cade’s training has continued all summer, and he has shown his dedication to this job. Cade is always the first lifeguard to arrive at work and the last to leave. He never has to be told what needs to be done, and he has exceeded all expectations of what it means to be a lifeguard.

During the 2022 season, Cade had a total of 886 preventative actions, 1,771 public contacts, 158 minor medical calls, and 68 enforcements.

JUNIOR LIFEGUARD

Each year Gulf Shores Beach Rescue holds several Junior Lifeguard classes. During these courses, Beach Lifeguards teach children ages ten to fifteen open water lifeguarding skills, CPR, First Aid, water rescue techniques and more.

In 2022, four sessions were held. Each session was conducted over 30 hours during the week with a total of 120 training hours. There was a total of 50 participants. The lead instructor was Chelsea Johnson, and assistant instructors were Brackin Stewart, Adam Foley, Kimberly Lee, and Tyler Lancaster.

HEALTH & SAFETY

The health and safety of our firefighters and lifeguards is our top priority as an organization. Each year, in addition to the thousands of hours of training, our firefighters are required to undergo extensive medical and physical testing.

LIFESCAN WELLNESS PHYSICALS

All personnel participated in the annual Lifescan Wellness physical. This is a NFPA 1582 mandated physical that also includes cancer screening. Cancer is very prevalent in the fire service due to the exposure to toxins created by combustion of everyday products. In fact, cancer is up to two times more prevalent among firefighters than civilians. These physicals have found 3 significant cancers over the past 3 years among our firefighters. In 2023, all city of Gulf Shores employees will have the opportunity to have this same physical.

PHYSICAL FITNESS TESTING

Every November, each Gulf Shores Firefighter is required to take a physical fitness test that was created and validated by Dr Hank Williford, a PhD Kinesiologist with Auburn University in Montgomery. This test consists of maximum front plank time, maximum push-ups in 1 minute, and a 1.5 mile run. While participation is mandatory, results are not punitive. As an organization we have gone from a 75% pass rate in 2020 to a 98% pass rate in 2022.

JOB TASK ANALYSIS

Each year our Firefighters are required to perform a Job Task analysis, which is a physical agility test performed in gear. This test is also mandated by NFPA 1582 and was validated by Dr. Williford. For the first time, we as an organization had a 100% pass rate.

The pass rates of these two physical events are among the highest of any Fire Department in the country according to Dr. Williford, who has extensive experience in creating physical standards for Fire Departments nationwide.

TRAINING & EDUCATION

Based on the ISO requirement of 228 hours of Fire training annually for 57 on-shift responders, there are over 13,000 required hours of training our crews need to perform. Our firefighters pride themselves on the many hours of training performed outside of the required minimum. The following pages highlight some of these accomplishments.

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE SWAT MEDIC PROGRAM

Lieutenant Nicholas Russell, who is the EMS Officer, leads the SWAT Medic program. All members of the team are licensed paramedics train as Tactical Medics. They adhere to all training and proficiency standards set by the Gulf Shores Police Department.

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE DIVE TEAM

The Dive Team consists of members from Gulf Shores Fire Rescue and the Gulf Shores Police Department. All divers are trained to meet the standards of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors Public Safety Diver. Members are training in underwater navigation, search and recovery, deep diving, and rescue diving. Some divers are specially trained in full face mask, dry suit diving, and technical diving. Gulf Shores Fire Rescue members consist of Beach Safety Chief Joethan Phillips, Lieutenant Michael Lucas, Beach Safety Lieutenant Lauren Bozeman, Firefighter/Paramedic’s Micah Smith, Matthew Bartl, Ashlee Barnard, Brandon Thomas, and Cole Fincher.

ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING

Each year Gulf Shroes Fire Rescue teams up with the Gulf Shores Police Department to conduct active shooter training at the Gulf Shores City Schools. This training is designed to prepare crews for a real-life encounter with an active shooter.

TRIENNIAL DISASTER DRILL EXERCISE

This year Gulf Shores Fire Rescue partnered with the City of Orange Beach Fire Department, the Gulf Shores Police Department, and Medstar to test the Gulf Shores International Airport’s readiness to respond to an aircraft incident on the airfield. This drill exercised the Airports Emergency Plan and complied with federal aviation regulations for commercial airports.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION

Community Risk Reduction is the identification and prioritization of risk followed by the coordinated application of resources to minimize the occurrence of unwanted events.

Fire code inspections and enforcement are the core of our community risk reduction program. Public and commercial buildings are inspected for the purpose of ensuring people can work, recreate, shop, heal, study and worship in a safe environment. Unlike their homes, these are places where they have no personal control of the construction or maintenance of the structure. Regular inspections of these types of occupancies helps ensure the fire code is being observed.

Ensuring structures are safe and built to the appropriate fire code starts with a strong foundation. Collaborating with the Gulf Shores Building Department, engineers and contractors, Fire Marshal Surry conducts plan reviews to ensure compliance to the fire code before construction begins. Inspections continue to be conducted throughout the construction process and before the structure can be occupied by the public, a final inspection is also required. Fire code inspections are also performed on existing structures on a daily basis. Businesses are subject to a fire code inspection and a review upon new application for business license, or when a business license is up for renewal. Fire Marshal Surry and Lieutenant Parks conducted these fire code inspections throughout the year. In addition, on-duty fire crews inspected and developed pre-incident plans for 549 buildings within the City of Gulf Shores.

The Community Risk Reduction Division is also charged with meeting the department’s public education objectives. Creating, implementing, and evaluating fire safety education programs lead to positive behavioral changes in the community.

Gulf Shores Fire Rescue (GSFR) prides itself on having a strong presence around the community especially within the Gulf Shores City School system. Throughout the year, fire crews participated in various seasonal events hosting demonstrations as well as visiting with families to create

memorable interactions. During October’s Fire Prevention Month, GSFR sponsored Fire Prevention Week consisting of fire safety presentations for over 1,000 students at Gulf Shores Elementary. Each student was sent home with fire and life safety materials to share with their family. In addition to the city schools, fire safety presentations were organized for South Baldwin Christian Academy students and conducted at local daycares.

Coordinating with the Alabama Fire College and The American Red Cross, GSFR initiated a smoke alarm program which provides free battery-powered smoke alarms to the residents of Gulf Shores. The Smoke Detector Program issued and provided installation of free smoke detectors to residents without current protection. Citizens were also given opportunity to participate in the National Fire Protection Association’s Home Safety Survey where fire crews offer recommendations on how to create a safer environment within the home. In connection to the survey, Community Connect extends this effort as a program where residents can create an account to enter specific information which may become relevant to firefighters during an emergency situation.

The City of Gulf Shores continues to be a premiere vacation destination for families around the country. This has also awarded us the opportunity to host a vast array of large scale public assemblies, such as sporting events, concerts and festivals. The community risk reduction division is largely involved in the overall safety and risk management of these events while working as a team with Gulf Shores Department of Cultural & Recreational Affairs, event coordinators, vendors and a wide-range of entities involved in such occasions.

Partnering with local restaurants and working closely with the beach safety division, Lieutenant Parks developed and established kids activity sheets about beach safety to further enhance the BEach Safe program. These are customized to the individual restaurant’s kid menu feature beach safety information for visitors as well as residents. The program was launched on Fourth of July weekend and we have since distributed over 20,000 menus.

MAKE YOUR FAMILY & HOME MORE FIRE SAFE

Install smoke detectors. We recommend one in each room

Change the batteries annually.

Replace smoke alarms when they are 10 years old

Test smoke detectors weekly. Press the button to make sure the alarm is working.

Don’t delay, ESCAPE!

Smoke alarms are an early alerting system to get you and your family out of harms way, not for you to grab personal items.

Smoke detectors cut your risk of dying in a home fire by half. Many fires happen at night, when you are asleep. Smoke and poisonous gas travel through the house faster than flames. Without a smoke detector, you could succumb to the gas and smoke before you know there is a fire.

Sleep with Doors CLOSED

Closed doors act as a barrier and can reduce fire growth, limit damage to your home, keep temperatures down, and can even save your life if you become trapped.

LET US HELP YOU BE MORE FIRE SAFE

Community Connect

Community Connect is a free, secure, and easy-to-use platform that allows you to share critical information about your household or business that will aid our first responders and emergency personnel when responding to your property. Visit GulfShoresAL.gov/CommunityConnect for more information.

Home Safety Surveys

Home safety surveys are designed to identify fire and life-safety hazards such as slipping, tripping, cooking, etc. Upon surveying your home, GSFR firefighters can provide written recommendations the homeowner can follow to reduce fire and life-safety hazards. Learn more at www.gulfshoresAL.gov/HomeSafetySurvey.

GULF SHORES FIRE RESCUE AIR MED CARE

Gulf Shores Fire Rescue is pleased to offer AirMedCare to residents of the City of Gulf Shores.

Any Gulf Shores resident transported via ground or air by any AirMedCare Network provider, including Medstar Ambulance and Medstar AirCare, from a pickup location in Baldwin County, Ala., is covered under this membership. In the event that a Gulf Shores resident is transported by an AirMedCare Network provider, payment for the transport over and above the patients insurance benefit limit will be covered with no additional out-of-pocket expense. If the patient transported is uninsured at the time of the transport, the providers will bill the covered person at the Medicare Allowable Rate for the transport.

Gulf Shores’ residents may elect to obtain a full AirMedCare Network emergency air household membership by completing an application and paying an additional $45 per household ($35 per household for seniors). A full membership has no insurance or pickup location restrictions. This will provide coverage for all AirMedCare Network air ambulance transports across our 38 state coverage area. In addition, residents without medical insurance can upgrade to a full ground membership for $35 a year which will eliminate the uninsured exception above.
