Fire Chief’s Report

New IAFF Local 1230 Pipes and Drums
Operations Section Update
● October - Fire Weather. As reported in August, this year ’s summer fire season
has benefitted from favorable weather conditions, locally. The District reminds
everyone we are now in what has been, historically, one of the most destructive
periods for wildfire in the Bay Area and Northern California. The end of the peak
fire season brings with it the potential of dry, gusty north wind events that can
cause small fires to spread quickly and cause significant damage to communities
in the wildland urban interface. Residents and property owners are reminded to
prepare their properties with effective defensible space and home hardening.
Additionally, everyone living in high and very high fire hazard severity zones need
to have an evacuation plan. Sign up for the Community Warning System (CWS)
at www.cwsalerts.com!
● Mutual Aid Support. The District supported statewide mutual aid responses in
August and September. Each deployment lasted approximately 14 days and
during that time all resources were staffed and available in the District. At one
point, there were over 40 members deployed during this busy period of the fire
season.
○ Hand Crew. Crew 12 was deployed to the Gifford Fire in Santa Barbara
County and then another deployment to the Dillon Fire near the Oregon
border. It should be noted the crew was the FIRST hand crew to be
deployed to the Dillon Fire - a signal about the minimal statewide
availability of Forest Service and Cal Fire hand crews.
○ Dozer Strike Team. One of our dozers was matched up with the Alameda
County Fire Department’s dozer to form the first ever local government
dozer strike team. They were deployed to the Pickett Fire in Napa County
and then to the Dillon Fire.
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 3 of 9
○ Engine Strike Team. Three engines from Con Fire and two engines from
San Ramon Valley Fire, with strike team leaders from Con Fire, set out to
the lightning fire complex in Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties. They
worked there for a few days and were redeployed in support of the large
Garnett fire in Fresno County.
○ Overhead. Dispatchers, Battalion Chiefs, and Telecommunications
Specialists responded to several fires in various capacities in support of
these incidents.
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 4 of 9
● HeloPod Training. Helicopters and staff from the District, East Bay Regional
Parks, Cal Fire, and Contra Costa Sheriff participated in a one day orientation
and training exercise with the HeloPod deployed at the Marsh Creek Detention
Facility. The training was important for the pilots to experience the act of drawing
water from the tanks with either their bucket or snorkel system. This training
enables the pilots to become familiar with the HeloPod system and to sharpen
their skills at dipping from the tanks.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division
● Nurse Navigation This program continues with 276 calls being assessed by the
nursing staff in the program since the June rollout. We are continuing to evaluate
the program, the current benefits, and potential for future expansion.
● APOT Ambulance Patient Offload Times continue to persist with recent wall
times at Kaiser Richmond reaching 3 hours on one day in September. John Muir
Walnut Creek has made significant improvements. (A report is attached.)
● Emergency Ambulance Contract Extension The District is waiting on
confirmation regarding next steps with the Contra Costa County EMS Authority
(CCCEMS) for an extension of the emergency ambulance services contract that
is set to terminate on December 31, 2025.
Fire Chief’s Report

Special Operations
● Hazardous Materials Response Team
○ Training. The team was very engaged in August and September with
various training events with our industry partners throughout the District.
The inclusion of private industry in our facility walk-throughs, training
events, and scheduled safety days with facility staff and vendors is helping
to establish and maintain critical relationships. The team has received
praise and very positive feedback from the facilities engaged in training
and event participation.
○ Super Bowl Assignment. Our hazmat team was selected to be the on-site
hazardous materials response team at the 2026 Super Bowl in Santa
Clara. Through the Cal OES deployment program, our hazmat team will
be on site throughout the week leading up to the event, and during the
event itself, to provide immediate response and assistance to Santa Clara.
Our team is engaged in planning and training for the event.
● Marine Program
○ Response Activity. Three incidents occurred in August and over the two
month period. All boats are fully operational.
● Rescue
○ Our rescue company attended a safety day at the Henkel facility in Bay
Point and is working with Phillips 66 in Rodeo to plan a rescue operations
drill with the Air Liquide plant on site.
Fire Chief’s Report

Training & Safety
● National Traffic Incident Management Training. All emergency response
members completed this 10 hours of instruction to help our members understand
the dangers of working on roadways and mitigations to put in place to increase
firefighter safety.
Advanced Planning Section Update
Fire Prevention Bureau
● Fire Risk Reduction Community List (FRRCL). We submitted our application to
be included on this statewide list of local agencies located in a state responsibility
area or very high fire hazard severity zone that meet best practices for local fire
planning. The application will be reviewed by the Board of Forestry over the next
9 months to update the FRRCL, which will be published and then active for 2
years. Being approved for the FRRCL could improve our ability to receive certain
California grants and provide residents within our jurisdiction discounts in home
insurance premiums, as identified by the California Department of Insurance.
Legislation & Grants
● Public Safety Fireworks Enforcement Task Force. Assistant Fire Chief/Fire
Marshal Chris Bachman was selected to serve on this State Fire Marshal task
force to address the challenges of illegal fireworks. He will be representing the
California Fire Chiefs Association in his appointment to the committee. We are
hopeful his insight, perspective, and experience will encourage changes at the
state regulatory level to improve safety and reduce the use of illegal fireworks.
● Zone 0 and Home Hardening Regulations. The State Board of Forestry has been
holding committee meetings on this subject, but is not expected to publish any
new regulations until after the new year.
Administration Section Update
Support Services Division
● 1300 Civic Drive Property Acquisition. The District has acquired this property
adjacent to Fire Station 1. While the building will be utilized as additional training
and office space in the coming years, owning this site is a strategic step toward
the future replacement of Fire Station 1.
● Training Campus Improvements. We continue to address ongoing infrastructure
and deferred maintenance issues at the Training Tower in Concord. Over the
past few years, heavy fire apparatus and water runoff from training exercises
have caused repeated failures in the surrounding asphalt. While the concrete
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 7 of 9
immediately around the tower has remained in good condition, the asphalt areas
were deteriorating. The District has now replaced the failing asphalt with more
durable concrete to ensure long-term functionality.
● 20 New Ambulances Purchased. Represents continual investment in modern
ambulances to replace older high mileage units. The first five have been
delivered to the District.
● Byron Wildfire Center. The District is negotiating with Cal Fire for the placement
of their Type I Handcrew for the Santa Clara Unit at the center effective in the
late Spring, 2026. The 20 person crew, currently located in San Jose, would
augment the wildfire response capability in our county, while also continuing to
serve the entirety of the Santa Clara Unit of Cal Fire which covers multiple
counties. The negotiations include monthly rent and facility upgrades to house
the Cal Fire crew.
Fire Chief’s Report

New Fire Stations / Major Facilities Construction
● Fire Station 90 (Brentwood) The District is currently coordinating with County
Environmental to complete the required CEQA studies. In addition, efforts are
underway to schedule a public meeting to gather community input on the
station's design.
● Fire Station 9 (Pacheco) The preliminary design for Fire Station 9 has been
completed and will be used as the basis for the upcoming bid process. Staff
will bring an agenda item to the Board next month seeking approval to issue a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure
a Design-Build Entity.
● Contra Costa County Regional Fire Communication Center (CCRFCC) (Pleasant
Hill) Construction continues and is on track for an early December move-in.
Carpet and furnishings are being installed. Significant PG&E electric switchgear
was installed.
● Fire Station 94 (Downtown Brentwood) The groundbreaking ceremony was
held on September 8 and well attended. Work has begun on the construction
of the station.
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 9 of 9
Rodeo-Hercules FPD (RHFPD) Annexation
● The District continues to work with the City of Hercules on transfer of ownership
of Fire Station 76, including potential lot line adjustments.
● Benefit assessment data was provided to the Treasurer/Tax Collector in August
for the FY25-26 tax rolls.
Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Programs Transition
● A meeting with Cal EPA regarding the CUPA transfer process was held in
September which included the District, County HazMat leadership, and County
Counsel. Cal EPA will be providing assistance in the application process.
Nothing of significant concern was brought up by CalEPA and they noted their
appreciation for all the work and organization that has been put forth to date on
the transition.
● Bi-Weekly planning meetings with staff from the District and County HazMat
commenced in August and are continuing

BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) strives to provide timely and efficient first
responder emergency medical services (EMS) to residents within the District and to persons who visit, do
business in, or travel through its jurisdiction.
The blanket purchase order is maintained for the purchase of all related EMS supplies for the District’s first
responder advanced life support and basic life support programs. Contra Costa Emergency Services Agency
(CCEMSA) is adopting the video laryngoscope as a requirement to comply with best practices and to improve
EMS services within the county. As a result, the District will need to replace all the current laryngoscope
blades and associated equipment and place the new video-capable laryngoscope blades in service by January 1,
2026. The increased costs of implementing the video laryngoscope program requires an increase of the payment
limit to allow the District to continue purchasing standard EMS supplies for the remainder of the year.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Fire Chief,to execute a purchase order
with US Digital Designs,in an amount not to exceed $65,000 for a Fire Station Alerting System for the Contra
Costa Regional Fire Communications Center, subject to the terms of US Digital Designs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCCFPD EMS Transport Fund
BACKGROUND:
US Digital Designs’(USDD)G2 Phoenix Alerting System is a modern fire station alerting system (FSAS)that
the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District)has already implemented in several fire stations and
will begin to transition to for all fire stations in the future.
As part of ongoing remodel and the construction of a new fire communications center,the District will be
adding a FSAS to quickly and effectively recall fire dispatchers to the dispatch floor in the event of a large
incident or where additional dispatchers are needed due to increased call volume during their normal rest time.
Using USDD’s G2 Phoenix system in the communications center,aligns with the direction the Fire District is
going in FSAS for all other fire stations.USDD’s G2 Phoenix Alerting System allows seamless integration and
retrofitting with the District’s other FSAS.
In addition,the current computer-aided dispatch system (CAD)is already configured to operate with the G2
Phoenix Alerting System,which helps provide for consistency of use and technical troubleshooting for staff.
USDD’s G2 Phoenix Alerting System offers several advantages over other FSAS manufacturers,creating an

File #:25-4056,Version:1
USDD’s G2 Phoenix Alerting System offers several advantages over other FSAS manufacturers,creating an
alerting solution that is effective,reliable,easily programmable,and beneficial for the health of fire staff
members.Moving away from the startling and stressful notification processes of the past,the USDD system
provides alerting in a graduated tone from low to high volume throughout the notification process.Maintaining
interoperability and consistency with fire stations throughout the Fire District,the new Fire Communications
Center and other contracted dispatch fire agencies is critical for effective fire dispatch processing and
emergency response times.
Lastly,it is important to note that US Digital Designs by Honeywell Standard Terms and Conditions includes
Limitations of Liability along with arbitration language.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this recommendation is not approved,the District will need to identify alternate means to recall Fire
Dispatchers to the dispatch floor during times of rest and/or during high call volumes in the new
communications center.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
DECLARE as surplus,AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief,or designee,to dispose of a Type 1 fire engine and
APPROVE the donation of the fire engine to the River Delta Fire District in Sacramento County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the donation of this equipment as the equipment has reached the end
of its use with the District.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District)routinely surpluses outdated items that no longer
have value in its system.The District has determined unit 537,a 2007 Pierce Saber Type 1 fire engine,is no
longer needed in the District.This vehicle was the property of the former East Contra Costa Fire Protection
District and has been replaced with a newer Type 1 fire engine.
The River Delta Fire District is an all-volunteer fire district that serves approximately 30 square miles,
including portions of Highway 12 and Highway 160, near the Cities of Rio Vista and Isleton.
The River Delta Fire District staff is interested in receiving it for use in their Fire District.The District would
also supply a limited stock of nozzles,hoses,and other appliances,as well as training and orientation on
operating the unit.
There would be no revenue associated with this transaction.If this vehicle was sold at a surplus,a sales price of
$5,000 could be achieved.It is in the public interest for the River Delta Fire District to operate this fire engine
that is no longer needed by the District.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund
BACKGROUND:
In 2020,following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,the Fire District transitioned from Microsoft
productivity tools to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).This strategic shift enabled the District to adopt cloud-
based, collaborative tools that support remote work, distance learning, and efficient information sharing.
GCP now serves as a foundational technology across all functional areas of the District,supporting operations
through its integration with Chromebooks,Google Forms,and other capabilities.The platform enhances
productivity, streamlines workflows, and enables modernized data collection and analysis.
One of GCP’s key tools,Gemini,is widely utilized by the Training Division to deliver instruction,manage
certifications,and support recruit classes.This application of training tools has contributed to more flexible,
responsive, and scalable firefighter education.
GCP is a secure,cloud-based solution that provides professional-grade backup and support directly by the
vendor, ensuring data integrity and system reliability.

amount not to exceed $2,400,000 to provide dispatching services through the Contra Costa Regional Fire
Communications Center for the period June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
CCHS’s A3 Crisis Response Program was launched in 2022 to address the needs of vulnerable County residents
experiencing behavioral health crises when calling for emergency or non-emergency services.The goal of A3 is
to enhance care for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises by providing a timely and appropriate
response to Contra Costa County residents.Care begins when an individual calls or is transferred to the Miles

Hall Crisis Call Center.An A3 staff member will assess the needs of the person experiencing the behavioral
health crisis and determine the level of intervention needed.
A3 has three (3)levels of in-person intervention:Level 1 response is appropriate for social needs (housing
resources/stress,food resources/stress,financial resources/stress),and there are no reports of suicidal or
homicidal ideation or grave disability,and no current acts of self-harm.Level II response is appropriate for
acute crisis situations that do not necessitate law enforcement involvement.Level III response is appropriate for
acute crisis situations that require a co-response with law enforcement due to a scene safety consideration,
including the presence of weapon(s)and acts of violence.These contracted services were determined to be
exempt from Administrative Bulletin 600.3 solicitation requirements by the Public Works Department’s
Purchasing Division.
CCCFPD staffs and operates the Contra Costa Regional Fire Communications Center (CCRFCC).The
CCRFCC is staffed twenty-four (24)hours a day,seven (7)days a week,365 days a year and will provide
dispatching services to A3 teams.The dispatching services will include transferring appropriate calls to the
Miles Hall Crisis Call Center,tracking available A3 teams,assigning calls for service to A3 teams based on the
level of response needed, and ensuring communication with responding A3 teams.
On June 10,2025,the Board of Supervisors approved item C.118,Interagency Agreement #74-730 with the
Fire District;however,the parties have agreed to include a mutual indemnification provision in the contract,
which requires approval by the Board of Directors.The mutual indemnification provision requires both parties
to defend,indemnify,and hold harmless the other against any claims arising from the performance of the
contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Interagency Agreement is not approved,the A3 Crisis Response Program response teams will not receive
dispatching services.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract with 37signals LLC, in an
amount not to exceed $20,000 to provide project management software for the Fire District for the period
October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028.

BACKGROUND:
The Fire District’s Training Division currently utilizes Basecamp, a project management software developed by
37signals LLC, to organize and manage a high volume of training projects and monitor the training and
documentation for probationary employees. Initially implemented in its free version, the software has proven to
be an effective and valuable tool for enhancing coordination and productivity within the division.
Due to its demonstrated benefits, the Training Division is recommending the expansion of Basecamp for use
District-wide. The platform enables the creation of project boards, task assignment, and progress tracking, and
is particularly well-suited for managing multi-divisional initiatives. Key features include deliverables tracking,
task lists, integrated timelines, and collaboration tools that support efficient project execution across teams.
This agreement includes limitation of liability language.

Report Title:Contract Amendment with Craig Devinney, MD
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute an amendment to the contract with Craig Devinney, MD,
to incorporate reimbursements for travel related expenses when representing the District at conferences,
committee meetings, or similar events with the pre-approval of the Fire Chief, with no change to the payment
limit and effective dates of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approximately $10,000 in annual expenses, however there is no change to the total maximum expenditure
authority of the contract. The cost of the contract is budgeted within the EMS Transport Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Medical Director represents the District at certain regional and state committee meetings, as well as other
potential meetings with our emergency ambulance provider at their corporate headquarters in Texas. The
original contract did not include language to cover the conditions for reimbursement of certain travel expenses
related to these occurrences.
This amendment will provide for the following:
·Eight (8) hours of compensation for each day attending a conference, committee meeting, or other
approved event.
·Airfare, lodging, conference registration fees, hotel wi-fi fees, parking, rental car, taxi and ride-share

costs.
·Per diem reimbursement for meals per County travel policy and GSA allowable rates.
All travel shall be approved in advance by the Fire Chief with estimated travel costs itemized and included in
the written approval. The original contract was approved by the Board on August 12, 2025. This action does not
change the contract payment limit of $331,000 or the term date through August 14, 2026.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The contracted Medical Director would not receive reimbursement for costs incurred to attend important
meetings and events as a representative of the Fire District.

Report Title:Exchange of 2 Surplus Type 1 Fire Engines for Training Apparatus
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.DETERMINE that it is reasonable and necessary to pre-authorize the Fire Chief,or designee,to locate,
inspect, negotiate, and acquire a tractor-drawn aerial apparatus to be used solely for driver training.
2.DETERMINE that due to the unique nature of acquiring a used fire apparatus for driver training,
deviating from standard purchasing practices is reasonable and necessary.
3.DECLARE that two Type 1 fire engines are surplus property not required for District purposes and
AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to dispose of those vehicles.
4.APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief,or designee,to acquire a used tractor-drawn aerial
apparatus for training purposes via sole source by exchanging two surplus Type 1 fire engines owned by
the District for the aerial apparatus owned by a third-party vendor.
5.APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief,or designee,to execute an agreement and related
documents for the exchange of the above vehicles,subject to the approval of County Counsel and the
County Administrators Office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The transaction alleviates the District from expending funds for the purchase of a tractor-drawn aerial training
apparatus. Registration or other nominal costs are funded through the CCCFPD General Operating Fund.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 12/29/2025Page 1 of 3

File #:25-4220,Version:1
BACKGROUND:
The District operates a fleet of tractor-drawn aerial apparatus.Several of these apparatus are articulating bodies
with a driver in the front and a driver in the rear,known as the “tiller.”This rear steering capability allows
firefighters to access tight spaces and streets while delivering a 100-foot aerial ladder to a scene for rescue and
firefighting capabilities.
These apparatus cost more than $2 million if purchased new.It has been the practice to use a retired tractor-
drawn aerial apparatus for driver training.The District’s first and current training tiller,a 1991 model that was
purchased used in 2015 from another department,is currently out of service,and locating parts and ongoing
repairs are impacting its use.It has been determined this 33-year-old apparatus is now at the end of its service
life.
All District tractor-drawn aerial apparatus are used for front-line daily service and they are far from retired.
Therefore,it is necessary to acquire a used apparatus from another agency or broker to be used for driver
training purposes.
Generally,the District is not in the business of buying used apparatus.However,in this case,it is most
appropriate when used in this limited capacity for driver training to limit potential incidents causing damage to
more costly front-line equipment.Although the District normally uses a purchasing process involving multiple
quotes when purchasing new equipment,using that process for used apparatus is unreasonable as there could
never be a true cost comparison due to varying manufacturers,mileage,and condition of used apparatus.For
that reason,the District is proposing to use a sole source purchasing method for the used apparatus and is
requesting authority to promptly proceed in that manner.
On January 16,2024,the Board previously adopted an order approving the requested sole source purchasing
authority for the used apparatus.Subsequently,the District proceeded to locate and compare appropriate used
apparatus and negotiated for a potential purchase.The best deal for the District is used apparatus that a third-
party owner is not willing to sell outright but is willing to exchange with the District for the following two Type
1 fire engines currently owned by the District:
2002 KME, VIN 1K9AF42872N058536, California License #1092613 (County asset # CC130511, Unit 128)
2002 KME, VIN 1K9AF42802N058538, California License #1092622 (County asset # CC130509, Unit 130)
To enable that transaction to be completed,it is hereby requested that the Board reaffirm the previously-
approved sole sourcing authority,declare as surplus the above two Type 1 fire engines that are not essential for
District operations,and authorize the Fire Chief,or designee,to execute an agreement for the proposed even
exchange at no cost to the District.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this item is not approved,the District may be unable to acquire the used tractor-drawn aerial apparatus
needed for current District operations and will probably lose out on the proposed even exchange that is
currently available to the District.
