On September 20th the Board approved a new Rotating Fire Fighter Duty Officer job description and the rental of a duty officer’s quarters for six months. The new program invites qualified First Responders, EMT’s and Paramedics the opportunity to serve as Duty Officers for 24-hour shifts as the primary first responder for all 911 emergencies in Shelter Cove. Duty Officers must live within 15 minutes of the fire station or stay in the duty officer’s quarters at 16 Fawn Drive. A total of nine members of the department have qualified to serve as Duty Officers.
Paramedic Sal Gurreri will continue to provide supervision and training for the department as the part-time Chief and serve as the Duty Officer Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. The other eight Duty Officers will rotate duty shifts to cover the remaining four days a week.
Tim Olsen – Command/EMT-1, Will Salter - Captain/EMT-1, Jess Gurreri - Captain/EMT-1, Alison Jones – FF/EMT-1, Cheryl Anthony – FF/EMT, Summer Olsen – FF/EMT-1, Shaun Stell – FF/FR, Frank Wilson – FF/FR
The Duty Officer Program is a new approach to staffing, command, response levels and scheduling. The program has been developed over the past few months by department members, the General Manager and supportive input from Board Members. The program brings the form, face and features of the people who have provided their time, skills and experience to the community for the past two to fourteen years. The department trains five to six times per month and the community is invited to attend and observe training operations.
