Dave Howe, the Battalion Chief Administrator for the Bend Fire Department

Dave will be speaking on the following topics:

• Reduced response times since the 2014 passage and subsequent renewal of the fire dept. funding levy
• Replacement of the Tumalo fire station
• Construction of a brand new station near the base of Pilot Butte that should further reduce response times around the city
• The incorporation of EMTs to help spread the work load and enable fully-trained paramedics to focus on the most serious cases
• The creation of an “After the Fire” assistance booklet, full of resources to help fire victims get back on their feet
