familiarize yourself with our operations and regards to the fire department. i gave all of you guys a booklet we made up for the anniversary to just a quick history of the fire reserves we are established in 1941. during world war ii to supplement the fire department. and as a model after what was going on in europe with the blitz and so we would offer support to the fire department. through world war ii, it was at this time there was about 10,000 members. and 10 battalions portable -- water systems that would go out and they would drill -- once a week in the battalions and after world war ii, it was disbanded

somewhat. it came back in full force during the cold war. and it was reestablished then in the 50th and 60s. and after that, died down a bit. we were kiejd of -- where we are today as a supplemental support unit for the department. as 2 -- help out in greater alarms natural disasters. and things of that nature. that's when we have been doing since. we train every thursday night for 2 hours now we have been training at treasure i lands. we go back and fourth with treasure island and folsom street. there are currently 16 senior members and 2 on leave. we hired 24 new members that started the academy last week. they will go through a 20 week

academy trained on the different equipment that the fire department uses. ladders, hoses. fittings. uba's and then after they graduate they will be able to respond to greater alarms and -- that's it. if you want we can have them stands up and introduce themselves. if that is appropriate or not. if you need to ask any questions i'm happy to answer questions. these are drafts we have as far as what our training hours hour. how many greater alarms in the past year. volunteer hours. we do a lot of community volunteering with the department and other organizations. you know see a lot of people come and ask us if we help out with different events they hold throughout the city. not just with the fire

department. there is -- commissioner helped out with a couple things with the cherry blossom festival and american heart association done things for them with cpr and different organizations throughout the city. habitat for humanity. a few things with them and we actually -- been sort of a feeder system for the department. a lot of members go on to join the fire department there is a list of the members that have been hire in the 2 years. we sent members to -- al med a san fastiel, seattle. vallejo. we have members in l.a., members in -- there was a reservist who went and working in austin, texas now. one in fair banks, alaska we are all over the place. like my presentation.

and i thank you for providing it to us. and also for take the time to come and make your presentation to us. because -- were sometimes we are not as appreciative as i think we want to be. and -- every person that's sitting behind you as well as yourself, needs to know that you are a tremendous asset to the city of san francisco and to the san francisco fire department. so i hope you accept our thanks. >> thank you. i appreciate it. >> we have a hor video if you like to see it about the training the previous class went through in their academy. it is 7 minutes. under 7 minutes. >> that's fine.

commissioner as limp i also have general questions and i like to hear a comment in i bit but your coordination of 20 weeks is that the training time? commander? buckley? >> yes. we break it down to the first -- 4 weeks is booked learning it is so now we will go over we are going over ics next week is -- water supply? ics, water supply and building construction and fire behavior and then the field work where they learn about the tool and apparatus with the fire department. >> i saw a slide of graduation. at the concollusion of the course well is a customerification or graduation in the fire reserves? >> correct. >> how dot members know when

there is i thirds alarm >> we get texts. once they graduate they will be put in the system phone numbers and their providers put in the system and every time a third alarm or we get texted on second alarms and respond on third alarms. >> in terms of the numbers throughout the senior members the 16, those 16 can responded to a third alarm or greater. >> correct. how do you know who they are? coordination of them or do they just report on the scene and then the command level there the chief will point at you. but i'm curious as to how do they fit in there i know they get in i want to know. >> we are instructed meet up at the mobile air. mobile air will respond on a

second alarm. and we usually will meet up there and the senior member will go to the command and find out what if there is anything that needs to be done immediately or you know if there is a priority on what to do. usually we start out by changing out bottle as firefighters come out of the buildings. get the bottles changed and back in to service as the as far as going in the building. helping out the person that mobile air filling the bottles and distribute them and as things progress, we will set up like -- will rehab stations. bring water to different locations when they come out they get water and take a breather and -- then it dependses what is going on with the fire. as to what our duties will be. >> okay.

>> we have done everything from move clothes around on the pier fire deployed the 5 inch portable water hose. we move ladders and hose and gassed up vehicles. they have been out there for i long time. done overhaul. what needs to be done. >> i appreciate that the commissioners but -- it it is -- it is very important for us to hear had they do out there. of and the cordination of that. chief, if you wanted to comment on that or whatever but for me we have to commission a trog prerogative to go to the alarms as a point of experience we try not to get in the way we look for the command force in helmets and coats and see that is going

on there and get an idea it is a coordinated through. >> thank you. chief. society fire reserve plays a huge role i seen them instrumental with large fires. i remember a lot of fires south of market where things were growing at a great rate and trying to transfer from offensive to defensive attacks and get water supplies. and a lot of times we deal with long leads. great for getting likes and valveos high pressure and get hem reed. helping to get water supplies for ladder and those types of things. what happens we deploy the crews approximate an engine shoes up

and you have a driver outside and 3 firefighters upon engaged and we need to get things done and you don't have the firefighters. when the reserves show up they are super helpful in the outside portion of getting water supplies. throwing ladders. assisting request moving hose lines to get different apparatus in place and then obviously, you know as the intanses -- progress on. changing bottles for people coming out of the building. and you know we have seen pictures looks like miles of pagety and the firefighterers beat up after hours of this and they are super helpful with us and bleeding out hose and getting the rigs back in service that is the day it day and the routine but when they will be valuable is when an earthquake

happens or a large sdaft and we stripped the resource of the city and have a pool of people here and familiar with operations or equipment and step up and assist us -- with the immediate needs we get additional people coming become to august wham we have. they are an integral part. >> i appreciate that. i appreciate the information that comesace well. over the years i went through a high rise and wonder how did than i get up well and the most important part when is they say they resealed the bottles how the members breathe. these are all things we learn. thank you very much. >> you mentioned high rise. we may have a fire on the 35th floor of the building president hazzard is in that fire area. we can't have 100 firefighters

you knowingum and down 35 flights of stairs. there is a huge need and that is where they will play a huge role. we have a -- source of labor there that can help us get that equipment the supplies so the firefighters can focus on the interior on the environment. they are a big part. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i know i will just do more i want to take advantageful i'm okay with you, chief. i wanted to tell the chief and commander penia if there is something you would like to reiterate. i'm anxious to heart cadets behind you. within this course of the auxiliary, they are volunteers. when you say greater alarm response when there is a greater alarm or response. so the members of the auxiliary respond on their own if they

wish to? commander? >> yes. i encourage it. as chief said tr are miles of hose and there has been occasion when is there has been one or two of us out there and it is like calling people because we are not getting this done by ourselves. usually we will get goods turn outs average 6 to 8 people at a fire. will the more people that show up the faster things get done and the easier it is for everyone. >> flags reflect that in the greater alarms with the turn out. the san francisco fire reserves with the helmet difference. i appreciate it and thank you very much. >> thank you. >> vice president nakajo. and perhaps if each of the reserves would like to introduce
