RE: Fire Chief’s Report
______________________________________________________________________
Antioch Drive-By Shooting Incident. A Con Fire firefighter and an AMR paramedic
were both struck by gunfire at the scene of an EMS call on Saturday evening,
February 20, in Antioch. The firefighter was struck in the foot and the medic in the
leg. They were both transported to local hospitals in stable condition, and neither
injury was life-threatening. Both first responders were released from the hospital on
February 21 and were recuperating at home as of the end of last month.
The incident was an EMS call, originally reported to dispatch at 8:53 p.m., for a male
patient with abdominal pain. Shots were reported by the Con Fire unit, at 9:08 p.m.,
shortly after firefighters and medics arrived on scene.
In spite of the very fortunate outcomes in both cases, this was a very serious
incident that we are not ignoring. W e are conducting an After Action Review to
address the incident, including a review of existing policies and protocols to identify
any changes that may be warranted.
The incident was initially investigated by Antioch PD, with the Contra Costa County
Sheriff taking the lead investigative role on February 21. The Sheriff announced a
suspect had been arrested on Sunday morning in Richmond. The suspect was taken
into custody following a pursuit from the scene in Antioch.
The suspect has been publicly identified as 26-year-old Darryon Williams of
Stockton. After being interviewed by detectives, W illiams was booked into the
Martinez Detention Facility on one count of murder and eleven counts of attempted
murder. At the end of February, he was being held in lieu of bail of approximately
$11 million.
Evacuation Planning. The County Fire Chiefs were awarded a $300,000 Urban
Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant that was funded late last year. The
procurement process is wrapping up, and a firm was selected to provide a
countywide evacuation planning and operational softwa re system. This was an item
of interest in Grand Jury Report No. 2007 issued in 2020. Implementation is
expected in July 2021.
Fire Chief’s Report – March 9, 2021
Page 2
Fire Station 4 Update. The District continues to prepare for the reopening of Fire
Station 4 in unincorporated Walnut Creek as part of our overall G reat Recession
recovery planning. Staffing of the station is planned for July 2022 which coincides
with the elimination of debt service on our pension obligation bonds. Several
logistical and facilities-related issues will need to be addressed over the next year as
we prepare to reopen the station. It is anticipated overall engine response times will
be reduced by an average of three to four minutes to the immediate are a once the
station is reopened.
COVID-19 Vaccination Update. Efforts to vaccinate our employees continue as we
begin to see benefits surrounding return-to-work protocols for fully vaccinated
employees.
As the fire Operational Area Coordinator for Contra Costa County, the District’s
efforts to support County Health’s request for fire-hosted vaccination clinics
continues. Clinics in east, west, and south county are being supported by
firefighters, as well as those from all other fire agencies, the Office of the Sheriff,
Brentwood PD, Los Medanos Community College Police, Hercules PD, CERT
teams, County Medical Reserve Corps, and other agencies. Last week, we began to
increase doses administered, from 500 per day to 1,000 per day, with a reduced
number of total clinics and are prepared to expand the number of clinics as the
situation warrants. The District is also engaged with County Health in planning for
potential large scale vaccination sites.
In February, the Fire District received approval from the State to operate a
standalone vaccine clinic. We have procured an appropriate refrigeration unit, and
all elements are in place to function as a separate and distinct clinic which would
allow the District to order and receive vaccination directly from the supply chain. We
do not currently plan to initiate this effort as the need to operate a standalone clinic
is not necessary at this time, but, having received approval from the State, we have
the option and flexibility to do so in the future.
Fire District Annexation Study Update. Phase II of this study continues with a rough
draft and initial findings expected in April. Stakeholder interviews are taking place in
March. As we progress, we anticipate additional stakeholder briefings and a number
of public outreach activities for Con Fire and the other jurisdictions involved.
Operations Updates. Hoist training resumed for Con Air 1’s pilots in late February.
The new estimate for completion of training is mid-April. An FAA issue has surfaced
that may alter our initial hoist mission configuration. This issue requires
administrative work to find a resolution but does not affect our ability to provide initial
hoist training or impact our go-live date.
A number of recent incidents, including a 10-rail-car incident at a local refinery, kept
the HazMat crew busy in February. In the refinery incident, our crews made entry
into the scene and secured a leaking valve.
Fire Chief’s Report – March 9, 2021
Page 3
Our new HazMat apparatus is on site and being equipped. It should be inspected
and inventoried by the state for OES typing in April after which it will go in service as
our primary response unit. The OES apparatus we currently use for responses will
be moved to reserve status for distant county OES responses or as an in-county
back up.
Our HazMat team participated in the BAY EX 2021 training that took place in Antioch
and Vallejo last month. They worked alongside specialized units from the FBI and
National Guard. The training focused on threats from chemical, biological, nuclear,
radiological, and explosives. Follow-up training will occur in April at MOTCO in
Concord.
The recruitment and on-boarding process began last month for the 2021 Fire Control
Worker program to staff our hand crew. A total of 84 interested candidates were
interviewed for up to 24 positions. The estimated start date for this year’s program is
May 1.
Alliance Ambulance Staffing. Alliance EMTs have been assigned to the FEMA
Oakland Coliseum site to assist with vaccination efforts there.
The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) conferred another
three-year accreditation on our emergency ambulance system.
Congratulations to our EMS Division and our Alliance partner!
Fire Prevention Updates. In February, the District formally launched the Firewise
USA® program districtwide. This is a national program that helps neighbors work
together with their local fire jurisdiction to protect their communities from wildfire
danger. It is administered by the Community Risk Reduction Unit of the Fire
Prevention Bureau.
The Firewise USA® recognition program provides a collaborative framework to help
neighbors in a geographic area get organized, find direction, and take action to
increase the fire resistance of their homes and community; and to reduce wildfire
risks at the local level.
Across our District, numerous communities face heightened wildfire danger due to
terrain, vegetation, and local evacuation route conditions. Firewise USA® is a
perfect complement to our many safety initiatives and a powerful tool for better
protecting at-risk communities.
Two new fire inspectors started last month and are assigned to the Engineering Unit
where they will be working on new construction plan intake and reviewing plans for
approval. Three additional fire inspectors are expected to be hired this month to fill
Code Enforcement vacancies.
Communications Update. Since the universal power supply (UPS) failure at the
Contra Costa Regional Fire Communications Center (CCRFCC), on January 24, we
Fire Chief’s Report – March 9, 2021
Page 4
have temporarily replaced one of the two older units. Two brand new units were
ordered for future installation.
The Deputy Fire Chief and the new Assistant Fire Chief of Communications are
working with County staff to expedite the design and eventual contracting of a major
remodel to the CCRFCC. It is anticipated that we will repurpose our former
administrative offices on Geary Road to relocate and accommodate the CCRFCC.
Information Systems staff are working on several projects including full
implementation of Everbridge mass text notifications, CAD interfaces, and filling
current staff vacancies.
Training and Safety Updates. In February, the Training and Safety Division was very
busy providing multiple hosted courses including All Hazards Incident Command,
Basic Air Operations, Safety Officer, Advanced Drone Operations, Crew/Engine
Boss, and W ildland Urban Interface Operations training.
Our training captains, mechanics, and engineer’s cadre provided all probationary
firefighters from Academies 54 and 55 with a 24-hour Apparatus Driver/Operator
Training Course.
The District’s Health and W ellness program continues to grow and provide
expanding services to Con Fire personnel. In addition to providing a location for
conduct of firefighter physicals and training, the wellness facility in our former fire
prevention offices in Pittsburg is equipped with a variety of physical fitness
equipment and is staffed by a physical therapist one day per week. The physical
therapy evaluation and treatment program is off to an impressive start and will
provide another valuable source of support for the organization.
Congratulations to our Academy 55 firefighter/paramedics on the successful
completion of their 10-month probationary training!
Apparatus Update. W e took delivery of two Pierce Type I fire engines in January,
and they were placed in service last month at Fire Stations No. 5 in Pleasant Hill and
No. 10 in Concord. This delivery continues the ongoing effort at replacing older
apparatus and maintaining compliance with NFPA standards for taking aging
apparatus out of frontline service. One replaced fire engine is a 2002 model with
180,000 miles that the District will surplus; and the other is a 2007 model that will be
retained as a spare unit.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Consulting
Services Agreement with RRM Design Group, effective March 9, 2021, to increase the payment limit by
$60,000, to a new payment limit of $1,300,000, to update the project personnel and billing rates to provide
architectural services for Fire Station No. 9 in Pacheco and Fire Station No. 86 in Bay Point.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project will be financed by lease revenue bonds, approved by the Board on December 15, 2020. The
debt service for these bonds will be paid over a 20 year period by a combination of revenue from
development impact fees and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District general operating fund.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the Fire District (District) initiated the process for the design of replacement facilities for Fire
Station No. 9 in Pacheco and Fire Station 86 in Bay Point.
The new fire stations will be built to include modern seismic standards, will meet the current ADA
requirements, and will have the ability

to support modern equipment and apparatus. The stations will be built to provide protection for the
community for the next fifty years and will allow for the facility to provide personnel with components,
systems, and features found in modern fire stations.
On January 16, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved a Consulting Services Agreement with RRM
Design Group, in the amount of $940,000, which terminated on December 12, 2020.
On July 23, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 with RRM Design Group, in the
amount of $1,240,000, which terminates December 12, 2021.
As RRM Design Group is familiar with the project, design, and construction of these projects, it is
recommended that the contract amendment be awarded at this time.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the agreement is not approved, certain architectural services performed by RRM Design Group will not
be completed, and the quality of delivery of the project will be negatively impacted.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, on behalf of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District, to make a payment to American Medical Response West in the amount of $1,558 for paramedic

FISCAL IMPACT:
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will provide reimbursement for vaccination distribution
and administration, at a 100% cost share until Sept. 30, 2021.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California and Contra Costa County Health Services Department requested the fire service’s
support to significantly expand delivery capacity of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District (District), along with all of the fire agencies within the County and American Medical
Response West (AMR), operated vaccination clinics to distribute COVID-19 vaccines in the County. In
December 2020 and January 2021, the vaccine was offered to first responders. Clinics serving the general
public began in February 2021.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
Authorize the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute Amendment One to the Air Ambulance Agreement with
REACH Air Medical Services, LLC which includes a provision to compensate REACH for responses to
certain reimbursable Cal OES and Cal Fire incidents, a provision to reimburse REACH for certain fire and
rescue responses when an annual maximum amount of flight time is reached, a provision for REACH to
reimburse the District for costs of providing a Medical Director for the program, and a provision for
REACH to reimburse the District for additional training hours of District personnel.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The amendment is cost neutral. The goal of this program is to provide air ambulance,
aerial firefighting, and hoist rescue services in a cost-neutral manner to the District. The
provisions of this agreement continue to support a reimbursement of direct expenses
incurred by the District. The amendment includes a provision for compensating REACH
for exceeding certain additional flight time hours, however it is anticipated those limits will
not be reached on an annual basis and costs will not be incurred as a result.

C.3
To:Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors
From:Lewis T. Broschard III, Chief, Contra Costa Fire Protection District
Date:March 9, 2021
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:REACH Contract Amendment
BACKGROUND:
In March 2019, the District entered into an agreement with REACH Air Medical Services,
LLC (“REACH”) to work cooperatively to establish a fire and air ambulance program to
provide emergency and inter-facility air medical transportation to the residents of Contra
Costa County and adjacent areas.
Operations began in September 2019, and much work has been done to increase staffing
from one air ambulance to a two-air ambulance operation at Buchanan Field in Concord.
Aerial firefighting capacity was introduced in October 2020, and hoist rescue operations
will commence in spring 2021.
As a result of the first full year of joint operations of this unique public-private partnership,
many lessons were learned and subsequent changes were made as we entered the
second year of providing service together.
As a result, the original agreement between the parties needs to be amended to
recognize the contractual and financial obligations that have resulted from necessary
operational, training, and logistical changes.
The amendment, as proposed, outlines specific operational, staffing, and training
responsibilities of both parties for air ambulance, aerial firefighting, and rescue operations.
The amendment includes language for the District to provide medical oversight and
direction for the program through the District's Medical Director. REACH will compensate
the District $193.50 per hour for services provided under this section.
The amendment adds a new provision for additional training capacity and reimbursement
from REACH to the District for personnel in the amount of $13,282 per month.
The aerial firefighting helicopter was assigned in 2020 to Cal OES-funded pre-positioning
incidents. In addition, Cal Fire may choose to hire the District's helicopter for active fire
incidents or to provide coverage for the Santa Clara Unit due to their helicopters being
unavailable or committed on large incidents. These assignments provide funding of
personnel and equipment and this amendment provides a mechanism for the District to
reimburse REACH based on actual funds received from Cal OES or directly from Cal Fire
for state-funded missions. Additionally, the roles and responsibilities of REACH and the
District in support of both Cal OES and Cal Fire is specified within the amended
agreement.
A provision for the District to pay REACH for certain non-reimbursable or non-revenue
generating flight time is included in this agreement. Excluding flight time attributable to
training, such non-reimbursable flight time would generally fall under a search mission
where the helicopter was used to assist in locating a stranded person with no medical
need, the use of the helicopter for aerial observation of an incident, or the use of the
helicopter on local firefighting missions where there is no reimbursement. Up to 90 hours
of related flight time on an annual basis is allowed before this provision would apply or
costs would be incurred by the District. If the annual threshold was met, the District would
pay REACH $1,750 per hour for each additional hour of aircraft flight time. It is not
anticipated the use of the helicopters on such incidents will exceed 90 hours per year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Certain necessary operational, logistical, and staffing changes will not be able to be
implemented to the District’s helicopter program.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding from the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Assistance to
Firefighters Grants Program in an amount not to exceed $867,000 for the purchase of a heavy rescue
wrecker.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total grant application would be $953,000 with a 10% local agency cost sharing requirement. The
federal share of the grant would be $866,363.64 and the District’s share would be $86,636.36. The grant
award may be lower than the amount requested and will be for a period of one year from the effective date
of award.
BACKGROUND:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program objectives are to provide
critically needed resources to equip and train emergency personnel, enhance efficiencies and support
community resilience.
Acquiring a heavy rescue wrecker with a 60 ton crane will enhance and advance an already thriving heavy
rescue program. The ability to respond with a piece of apparatus with this capability

Subject:2020 Assistance to Firefighters Grant - Heavy Rescue Wrecker
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
will greatly increase the options available to rescue crews. Relevant incidents range from motor vehicle
collisions requiring disentanglement to responses in industrial and refining facilities located in the County.
A heavy rescue wrecker with a crane could have been used on the 2019 Nu Star petroleum tank farm
explosions. This multi day incident and firefight included the explosion and fire of two 8.7 million gallon
tanks. Once the fire was brought under control, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District lacked the
heavy equipment necessary to remove the heavy steel walls and lids in order to search for victims and
conduct the corresponding fire investigation. The District had to wait for a privately hired contractor to
bring in the cranes. According to the USGS the probability of at least one earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or
larger in the San Francisco Bay Region is 72 percent, and the probability of at least one earthquake of
magnitude 7.0 or larger is 51 percent. An earthquake of this magnitude has the potential to cause multiple
building collapses in our jurisdiction. The heavy rescue wrecker can be used to save lives in this urban
search and rescue scenario.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, on behalf of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District, to make a payment to the State of California Department of Health Care Services in the amount not
to exceed $572,744 for the Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Quality Assurance Fee for
ambulance transports provided by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District in the months of
October through December (Quarter 4) of 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Ground Emergency Medical Transportation (GEMT) / Quality Assurance Fee (QAF) program
increased the historic base rate of Medi-Cal reimbursement by $220.80 per transport. The GEMT/QAF
program, therefore, increased the per transport reimbursement from the historic base rate of $118.20 to
$339.00.
To fund this program, the State of California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) began assessing
all transport providers within the State of California a fee of $25.23 per transport effective July 1, 2018.
The fee was increased to $26.07 effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, and the fee was increased
again to $32.30 effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. The increased fee of $32.30 was approved by
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on October 15, 2020.

Subject:GEMT QAF Payment to California Department of Health Care Services CY 2020 Q4
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
The District received the attached invoice from DHCS on February 2, 2021. The invoice is for the
period October, November, and December 2020 (Quarter 4), for $572,743.60.
The fiscal impact will be revenue generating for the District due to the significant number of Medi-Cal
transports within the District’s ambulance operating area. Medi-Cal is the second highest payer type
(second to Medicare). The net revenue the District receives is calculated by multiplying the $220.80 per
transport uplift for Medi-Cal fee-for-service and Medi-Cal managed care transports less the $32.30 QAF
the District is required to pay on all transports.
The net revenue estimate (uplift less QAF) for the District for 2020 is approximately $2 million under
the current funding and fee parameters.
BACKGROUND:
CMS approved State Plan Amendment (SPA) 18-004 authorizing the GEMT/QAF program in March
2019. The Quality Assurance Fee (QAF) is an add-on fee used to increase Medi-Cal funding.
Essentially, emergency medical transportation providers in California must pay this fee on all transports,
and in return, providers will receive an uplift that increases the Medi-Cal reimbursement base rate for
Medi-Cal fee-for-service and managed care recipients.
CMS approved SPA 19-0020 in September 2019. SPA 19-0200 increased the QAF from $25.23 per
transport to $26.07 per transport for ground emergency medical transports with dates of service
beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. SPA 20-0009 increased the QAF to $32.30 per transport
for ground emergency medical transports with dates of service beginning July 1, 2020 through June 30,
2021.
This request is for calendar year 2020 quarter 4 fees (for October-December 2020 transports). The
payment is due on or before April 1, 2021. State program representatives indicated there would be no
exceptions and late fees may be assessed by the State for payments not received by the due date.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The QAF payment is mandatory for all providers (public and private) within the State. If not paid, the
State can assess late payment penalties and withhold provider payments for ambulance services
provided to Medi-Cal recipients.

Subject:Conveyance of Offers of Dedications to Contra Costa County for Land Use Permit LP19-2014, Bay Point Area
(CP#18-38) Project No. 7025-WH706A
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) initiated the process for the design
and replacement of the current Fire Station 86 located at 3000 Willow Pass Road in Bay Point. The
Project will be constructed on APN 091-030-012, located on Goble Drive in Bay Point. The new fire
station includes modern seismic standards, will meet current ADA requirements, and will have the
ability to support modern equipment and apparatus.
In January 2020, the Public Works Department's Engineering Services Division reviewed the Project
site plan and recommended Conditions of Approval for Land Use Permit LP19-2014. Condition of
Approval No. 44 of LP19-2014 requires the District to convey to the County, by Offer Dedication for
Roadway purposes, the right-of-way necessary for the required frontage improvements and public utility
setback along Goble Drive. Condition of Approval No. 52 of LP19-2014 requires the District to convey
to the County, by Offer of Dedication for Drainage purposes, a public drainage easement over any
manmade drainage system which conveys storm water run-off from public streets. The Notice of
Intention to convey Offers of Dedications was duly published in the Contra Costa Times in compliance
with Govt. Code Section 6061.
On October 13, 2020, this Board approved the design and the bid documents for the construction of the
Project; and on January 19, 2021, this Board awarded the contract to Overaa & Co.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Offers of Dedications are not approved, the Project will not meet the Conditions of Approval of
Land Use Permit LP19-2014 and cause a delay in construction of the Project.
