NEW BUSINESS
Two members of the Mayors staff attended the meeting. The next mutual aid meeting on September 17th has been set aside to discuss the Ambulance issue. Representatives from the Mayors office the County board, LFR and Midwest medical will be attending. The meeting has been moved to the Health departments large meeting room to have enough seating for everyone. Bruce Messenger from Hickman brought information on the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. It was also discussed that CISM will be dividing the State for research on debriefings. One half of the state will have debriefings the normal 72 hours after and incident and the other half will be scheduled 7-10 days after the incident. Our half is the 7-10 days half but if you believe a debriefing is needed in the 72 hours after an incident they will do that instead. The Starcare helicopter will be moving to BryanLGH West.
