Much discussion about character and how this affects our organization
Covey, Randy Bauer, Etc.
2.5 Captains Training in 2010
My Ideas:
- C-Shift Safety Officer Training
- ICS at multiple company actions; move up to group and division - what is expected?
- Bail out - all capabilities of it
- Mayday process
2.6 Asbestos Removal on Scene?
Question from Len: no actions, Bob is going to find someone to research real risk, and possibly a vacuum.
Don't have to do it and get wet, use judicious judgment
2.7 Restoration Companies
Discussion about too much authority being given to the RCs. If in doubt, then we will provide a fire watch.
2.8 Acting BC Training
Tom will staff this when we are fat with Captains, and actors
2.9 Wildland team coordinator selection issues
Why panel, Chief, and now Ops to make decision?
2.10 Dive Team Issues
Can't really count on them like in the old days.
2.11 Engine 3 Issues

Follow-up for Tom with disposition from Jim with the replacement gages.
