A report on the recent evaluation of the Monticello Fire Department by ISO consultant Charles Albert will be presented at a public meeting on November 14.
The evaluation includes current facilities, equipment, personnel, training, record keeping, processes and procedures, according to a news release from the Monticello Economic Development Commission which is conducting he meeting with the Monticello Fire Department.
The format of the presentation is based on geographic statistics, current fire department services and ISO Consultant recommendations to improve Monticello’s ISO rating.
Service areas of ladder companies and engine companies will be presented in GPS mapping format by staff of EFS GeoTechnologies.
The meeting will be held in the former post office next at 211 West Gaines (next to City Hall) at 6 p.m., November 14.
This would be an interesting meeting to attend, but will the council take any action based on the consultant’s recommendations? Doubtful.
I agree with Mrs. Hudson’s remark that neither one of the places are the perfect spot for a fire station but W.C. Whaley is the better than other choice and they’ve been looking at locations for 2 years now. Why can’t the others see that? Whaley for a fire station is better than the place they picked for a sports complex.
