NC Fire Rating. ISO Rating

01/19/2020

I would like to Congratulate Courtney VFD and Chief Barry Williard on receiving a NCDOI/ISO class 4 . Chief Williard and his entire staff worked very hard to accomplish this their fire scene set up is the best I have ever seen with 0 usable water lost that is something to be very proud of . If you want to learn and see the modification that where made to do this feel free to contact Chief Williard I’m sure he will send you pictures . The Courtney community should be very proud to have this department protecting them .

Hello everyone it’s been a while and that’s my fault just been busy between work ,Chief and shooting .
I want to get some discussion started on a few things .

1 what is the number one problem you have in reaching your ISO classification?

2 NCDOI has worked really hard to streamline their process do you have any issues with the process?

3 Rural water departments are you having quarterly waterhaul or hose lay training?

4We have seen a lot of small modifications to equipment like low level strainers what are something’s that you are willing to share has helped your department.

Thanks In advance I think we have enough members now to have some good discussions .

I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and I hope Santa brings you all ISO Class Ones .
It this time of year that we take a break look back at what we have done and be proud I know I am and I’m proud of each one of you that I have worked with this year and the same goes to the ones coming up it’s a exciting time for me and nerve racking for you chiefs but trust me you will do fine.
Closing I want to give a shout out to the NCDOI and Commissioner Causey for putting the citizens first and the fire service next in the rating and inspections division . You understand and have put together the best team possible to help the Departments and I turn save the citizens millions of dollars .
Again Merry Christmas to all and I will look forward to seeing you next year.

Ok I’m back as most of you know I have been working on the East Bend Grade for about 20 years and now we just sit and wait . I and others feel we didn’t leave anything laying on the table so I think we will be happy when we know here in about 90 days.

So I want to open this show up and let’s work through some different things let’s do water . It may be all hydrants ,half hydrants half ponds a few tanks some rivers etc . I want this to be open and honest discussions . Ask questions how many people do I need to set up fire scene or who needs to set my water point up . So let’s try it ask away and let’s see what kinda ideas we get . You ask the main question I will ask you a couple questions and then we will see what we get.
