description of cb d. >> that's right our coming center uses a protocol it was developed called the medical priority dispatch system uses what the call reporting party says and changes that both a response pattern with the idea if someone says a person unconscious or a person changing color or choking we have an immediate dispatch but they need help but are talking and 3wr50ek9 normally or standing and walking we can send a lower cuing i cue unit helps us to triage a - they do to a masking to determine what equipment needed and the priority. >> thank you chief gonzales. >> and from a fire aspect the

study says a panic caller good practice to send code 3 that means what should happen and for example, they came in as a a-1 we send a truck a bacon chief in the hot seat or one of the c rc supplemental information for on the second floor this will immediately be upgraded they'll get our environment of 13 units and as opposed to to 3. >> and add multiple callers to the same address that tips you off they're probably something that confirmed for medical calls and for all calls we tend to be put more resources and not enough we can always back off sometimes if you get a couple of people calling a person lying on the sidewalk they could be as

commissioner hardeman alluded to sleeping but someone that is recorded has passed out or unconscious we will send someone and overtime we back off on the number of resources but other than under resource the call. >> i appreciate that all the responses doctor a yeah. i know at some point chief will be part of discussion as well, we had had very well i want to point out the complexity of that citizens concern didn't know what is going on i'm making up up that somewhere has a language barrier want to convey what the circumstances are and part of the that two there is also response or coagulation between medical and police for example, when i asked the call how many calls 0 come from the homeless

that call is depending on how you want to respond to there was a comment of too bad not an individual number to address did homeless call and another discussion became how facing fast do you want to respond to the homeless person on the street samoan commented or i've seen condominium to get a respondent off you have to have's positive attitude not a problem of a person but a quality of life issue as well i know that individuals have said this homeless person is on the sidewalk didn't look good, i want this person off oh, by the way, i think i see a knife that triggers circumstances and perhaps this person didn't have a knife but the text in our system as we move out therefore i appreciate the discussion of the ems 6 or thinking outside

the box at least ♪ decision a knowledge base we're coming from >> chief. >> one of the points you brought up say that submittal information comes in she have they have a knife it is a reason we have universal call articulates that will on or about button putting into the call and add to the police and let people know the scene is not safe one thing i want to mention about the aspects of the system one of the good ideas maybe they should have an advisor for a code 2 call they can it is being addressed as we're not sending the a l s but i think that is something that will be really good to look at as far as one of

the ideas i also want to respond to the commissioner said we attempt at dispatch to identify and triage people by the nature and severity the medical complaint no attempt to determine what the social situation is or who say we really this is purely based on medical needs and in fairness i strongly believe that is important and the way we provide emergency medical services to mefrp with that said there are other resources the city has we can use better like 311 and potentially developing the projects that the cities have undertaken like nurse triage lines when someone calls 9-1-1 currently we have a system where resources is sent to every caller that maintained be the

best way but initiative ideas i applaud the commission for exploring those but more to be explored. >> two more points the average citizen early in terms of public that requests support we have a responsibility as well just not a matter of seeing something francis scott key out and trying to get response my whole life happens been if it is a problem i call the police if there is a fire i call the fire department i got educated address utilityed the 9/11 concept but the other educational aspects certainly something that the citizens of san francisco might need as we advance ourselves to more coordination an example i saw a lady fall down the stairs my

immediate responded put her in a confront position but my mind said don't touch her i called the factual and they said don't touch her the citizens need education how to conduct themselves on the other hand, as they wait for the responder to come my last point our folks are professionals and kevin that's the last thing you want to have someone that says not there who looked like they don't want to help you or you're a problem extinguished to help me out thank you very much colleagues and mr. president. >> thank you, mr. president. >> commissioner hardeman not

going overboard this 92.6 percent under 9 minutes for people that were watching this as now gone live it would a few years ago we had the local 798 rightfully condemning the commission and chief the apparatus and poor time and station conditions, you know staffing, everything was wrong that was true we had to sit here and take it we needed to take that it was the vebt have the opportunity the workers was treated and now it is urban design turned around in the 92.6 percent i wish r7 98 were here to say good job the things they've laid out and rightfully

so we were bad and wrong has been rivered i think that department deserves that especially the mayor and the grant writing and we've been fortunate to good things happen so, anyway to talk about so we have the chief who like my firefighter knows how to get around town this morning as we came in he was on time he was ruffled i think he said it took him 45 minutes to get to treasure island chief gonzales can't use the siren we have an ambulance. >> we shouldn't. >> the chief knows how to get around like them this is a difficult time for an ambulance to transport so this is

remarkable it is wonderful i'm excited very happy and i think the public should understand is where we were and how everybody stuck together and persevered this fire department is in good shape and just wanted to pass that on. >> thank you, commissioner. >> thank you commissioner hardeman just a few comments on the visit doctor yeah. thank you fro organizing that and greet us there and for rob and mike to take us through and lieutenant hayes on behalf of myself and commissioner vice-president nakajo we appreciate the overview at the headquarter it is a very tough job being a dispatch no question about that and i think we're under a staffed and glad we have a class of people that are trained to be dispatches it our first line of

public safety the first line of defense is interpreting what the 9-1-1 call is all about a super important part of our protection of people of the city i punishment the tour and encouraged my fellow commissioners to visit and get a briefing how they define what is a code 2 and 3 interesting to note point police department has i guess 4 levels of four descriptions they have a code 1, 2, 3, 4 called something different but much more you know defined list of criteria. >> i'd like to point out one clear distinction we love working with the police but often the abc d priority it depends on who is available and a lot of time they choose themselves if they go they go to

the action calls but sometimes the other lower security calls they wait on we don't have that luxury. >> thank you chief gonzales appreciate that. >> any you further comments from the commissioners seeing none. >> call. >> did you call public comment. >> all right. public comment on the report on probation any public comment on this item? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. madam secretary. >> item 7 communications e-mails from james corrigan dated 2017 a any public comment on item this item seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners any comment. >> yes. i was thinking maybe the chief will do this but the chief will be mad at me i didn't give her a head up but a thank

or thing can you do an honor grand mashes and one the honorees will be a franco recognizing some of you old-timers might know him he would have been 91 he's an honoree grand marshall and retired firefighter and his granddaughter emily o'rourke is a san francisco firefighter should be we should be happy that a retired firefighter is honored as a combraush at the parade. >> very good. >> thank you just one comment it seemed to be get continuous complaint from mr. co-sponsor

begin chief gonzales cue give us a give you a little bit of background of policies for firefighters parking around fire stations. >> one of the main concerns placards not authored to put out a need not to be used but changes at the stations regarding change of shift as i mentioned to the response to the chinatown fire especially station 2 of the basis of complaint about the points of arrived from during change of shifts and during that time 8:30 the rigs need to be calculates or checked and under coming and off going cruise we don't want them parking illegally but blocking a lane they have to check the

aerial and the pump every morning and in regards to response time they'll do it is next to the drivers and they'll check the apparatus and have to clean the apparatus floor sweep and make up that 2, 3, 4 station two this is has happen that part of complaint is not easy to address but members using placards all over the place if they park in a red zone while change of shift that's on their own that's part of the policy the pot is we don't want them using urban authored placards. >> thank you chief gonzales. >> i have directed chief gonzales to regularly let our members know they don't great

work everyday but not feel entitled to do something that is illegal it is illegal to park in a red zone outside of the perimeters he's discussed parking is a prestige not something we are authorized to grant to all the employees most of our stations not all of them have an area the members can park that is not easy, however, we want, considered good citizens we are good citizens it's been brought to our attention not use anything with my snatch that looks to be a authorized pass if you will, and we've asked the b c and company officers to make sure that is not happening i regularly talk to the chief of operation and mta if they see a vehicle not parked where it should be parked

she should be ticked no special prestigious i've arthur's we shouldn't have that happen. >> any way to address that blocking a lane of traffic during rush hour. >> it would be tough to put the rigs their huge for the safety of the personnel they need the 0 space. >> no where during another time. >> thank you want to make sure that is ready during the shift time if they don't check that the day before, after, the initial pump test in the morning but we have to know that is working like our tools our power tools and exhaustion tools and other tools to make sure we need them at 8 o'clock a.m. and make sure we can get the patient out

of the car. >> so blocking the traffic the apparatus and fire engines and trucks no way around but to block traffic for a couple of hours. >> if this instance it is not for a couple of hours not sure that happens everyday but a limited amount of time that particular station one good thing it is out going traffic not downtown. >> as you know, we get complaint one particular station want to bring to your attention. >> all right. any public comment on this item? any public comment on communications seeing none, public comment is closed. madam secretary. >> please call the next item. >> agenda for next fire commission meeting on march 22,
