RE: Fire Chief’s Report
______________________________________________________________________
Fire Station 16 in Lafayette was approved by the Lafayette Design Review
Commission on February 27. Our architect will begin drafting the construction and
design plans for building permit submittal. Meetings are scheduled with LEED
consultants and others involved with this process. District staff have been engaged
with the architect in selecting interior finishes and details needed to complete the
construction and design plans. In addition, we have requested that the project
manager begin the process of prequalifying contractors for the project.
The elevations and design plans for Fire Station 70 in San Pablo are being developed
in preparation for submission to the City of San Pablo after the CEQA process is
completed (tentatively scheduled for July). The funding agreement continues to move
forward, and District staff, City of San Pablo staff, and County Counsel are working
together to finalize the agreement language.
Academy #50 graduated on February 10 with eight new firefighters. Our new
firefighters spend ten shifts with seasoned firefighters who teach them about life on
shift and in the firehouse. After these initial assignments, our newest members will be
assigned to their own fire stations.
The Fire District began working with County law enforcement managers on a
consistent operational policy for working together at violent crime and active shooter
incidents. We have seen a significant increase in the number of incidents involving
deadly weapons, and our firefighters often find themselves in harm’s way. The goal is
for all fire and law enforcement agencies in the County to have consistent expectations
of each other at these types of incidents.
The Fire District is experiencing an issue at the BART station in Pittsburg. We are
finding that there are people who ride the BART trains all day seeking shelter and
warmth, and when BART service ends for the night, a number of those people find
themselves at the end of the line at the Pittsburg station with nowhere to go. This
results in many of those people calling 911 asking to be transported to a local hospital
March 14, 2017 CCCFPD Official Minutes 9

for a medical condition. In the last 12 months, we saw almost 600 patients and
transported 545 of them to local emergency rooms. The trend continues to worsen,
with January peaking the 12-month period at 79 patients. On at least two occasions,
this issue resulted in a “Multi-Casualty Incident” where we transported 9 and 12
patients. This creates a Public Health Emergency because it takes so many
ambulances and fire resources out of service and increases response times for others
who may need emergency service. We had a meeting with BART police in an attempt
to reduce these numbers to a more tolerable level. In the meeting, it was clear that the
issue is very complex and will require work in many areas. I am proposing that a group
be brought together, consisting of Fire/EMS, County Health Services, County EMS,
the City of Pittsburg, and BART staff, to address the issue in depth.
On a different but connected issue, the Fire District is seeing an increase in wait times
at local hospitals. I brought this issue to the Board several months ago to express my
concern that as a result of these excessive wait times, the District must staff additional
ambulances in order to keep the required number on the road to answer calls. We did
see an improvement last year; however, the wait times are increasing again. The
County EMS agency tracks and publishes this data, and we are hopeful that the trend
is temporary and there will be improvement as we move further into 2017.
The Fire District received a grant from the Tesoro Foundation in the amount of $49,500
to purchase atmospheric monitoring devices for all of our fire companies. The monitors
will allow our personnel to determine if a flammable level or toxic level of gas may be
present at a release. It will protect both our firefighters and our citizens from
unnecessary illness and/or death. We want to publicly thank Tesoro for their generous
gift.
The Fire District is expecting four (4) new apparatus in 2017. A new rescue truck for
Fire Station 82 in Antioch is in Sacramento at the dealer and should be in-service by
early April. A new ladder truck for Fire Station 83 in Antioch should be in service in
early May. The new bulldozer transport is on order, and we are hopeful that it can be
placed in-service by the beginning of fire season. Lastly, the District’s new fire boat is
being built, and we anticipate that it will arrive by summer.
The District’s solar project is underway. We plan to announce a groundbreaking
ceremony in the near future, and the Board will be invited to attend. The objectives of
this project are to generate energy through the installation of solar arrays and reduce
energy consumption through measures such as the replacement of several very
inefficient HVAC systems at our fire stations.
While it appears that the flooding potential has subsided, I want to point out that the
Fire District was prepared to respond to any potential swift water or flood rescue both
in the District and throughout the state. Although the potential existed, I am pleased
to report that we had no rescue incidents occur in the District as a result of the
excessive precipitation. We did send one of our fire dispatchers to assist the State
Office of Emergency Services with the Oroville Dam incident.

The Fire District is working on contract and ordinance amendments to address rate
increases for the ambulance transport program. One amendment addresses the Fire
District’s ambulance service rates. The contract between the Fire District and County
EMS allows the District to request an annual rate increase that is the greater of 3% or
the Medical CPI for the preceding year. The medical CPI for calendar year 2016 was
3.8%, so we will use that figure. Another amendment will address the ambulance unit
hour rate increase for AMR. The contract between the Fire District and AMR entitles
AMR to a rate increase on April 1, 2017, and every April 1 thereafter. AMR’s rate
increase is a product of the District’s increase and the prior year’s collections realize
percentage.
In the next 30-60 days, we will bring forward a contract between the El Cerrito/
Kensington Fire Department and the Fire District for dispatch services. One of the
media outlets recently reported that this contract would be proposed to the Board this
month; however, the statement was incorrect. A proposed contract is currently being
review by each agency’s counsel, and it should soon be ready for approval. As you
know, West County is a difficult area in which to provide service due to the number of
fire agencies that serve the area. The fact that there are multiple dispatch centers
adds to the complexity. Therefore, having El Cerrito/Kensington become a user of our
regional communications center will be of benefit to both agencies.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to accept grant funding from the Tesoro Foundation in an
amount not to exceed $49,500 for the purchase of hazardous multi-gas detection devices and related equipment in the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Tesoro Foundation Grant. No local agency matching funds required.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) spans 372 square miles with over 742,000 permanent
residents. Some of the nine incorporated cities served by the District are suburban “sleeper” communities; however,
dense population and commercial centers in the cities of Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and parts of Martinez
feature dozens of mid- and high-rise office buildings, multi-story, multi-residential apartment and condominium
buildings, and multi-story, mixed-use commercial/residential occupancies. There are over 300 assisted-care and
residential facilities within the region with elderly and/or disabled residents in frequent need of emergency medical
services (EMS).
In addition to providing fire, rescue, EMS, and hazardous materials response, the District partners with American
Medical Response (AMR) for emergency medical transport for the majority of the County.
Several major industrial sites are located in close proximity to populated areas of the District, as are railroad lines and
major local and State roadways that service those industrial sites. Industrial facilities include Shell and Tesoro oil

refineries, Dow Chemical, Rhodia, Air Products, Kinder-Morgan Pipelines, a PG&E generating plant, and several
cogeneration power plants. Over 50 businesses handling hazardous materials are required per State regulations to
develop and maintain risk management plans that are reviewed and inspected by the County. The County's Health
Services Department periodically inspects over 2,600 local businesses that are involved with hazardous materials.
Furthermore, during normal work hours, and for some facilities operating on a 24/7 basis, many of the corporate
offices are occupied by shift employees. Examples include Bank of America, which has a 6-story processing center
that encompasses a city block in downtown Concord; PMI Mortgage, which runs a 24-hour operation in a high rise
building in Pleasant Hill; and Chevron, which maintains a corporate office complex.
Hazardous gas detectors aid our firefighters in protecting the community from the deadly effects of four conditions:
March 14, 2017 CCCFPD Official Minutes 18
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Lack of oxygen
Presence of carbon monoxide
Flammable gas atmospheres
Presence of hydrogen sulfide
Every year District firefighters respond to hundreds of reported gas leaks and odor investigations. Hazardous gas
monitors are instrumental in maintaining and improving the safety of firefighters and the communities we serve. The
District is grateful to the Tesoro Foundation for its assistance in being able to acquire multi-gas detectors for all fire
companies within the District.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District will not be able to take advantage of this generous funding opportunity to provide each of the District's
fire companies with much needed multi-gas detectors to identify hazardous working conditions.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
March 14, 2017 CCCFPD Official Minutes 19
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with AP Triton, LLC to
extend the term from April 30, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and increase the payment limit by $60,000 to a new payment
limit of $165,000 for Emergency Medical Services transport consulting services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$60,000: Budgeted; 100% EMS Transport Fund
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) entered into a contract with AP Triton, LLC effective
November 1, 2015. At that time the District contemplated that as of January 1, 2016, it would become the exclusive
operator for emergency ambulance service in Emergency Response Areas 1, 2, and 5 within Contra Costa County.
The contractor, AP Triton, LLC, has experience in establishing and managing a fire-based emergency ambulance
program, including resource deployment, recovery of federal reimbursement funds, monitoring legislative activity
and industry trends, and other related services.
This amendment extends the contract term and payment limit for the services described above.
