Light tower not functioning. I was able to raise it to a vertical orientation, but it would not extend, or stow. I could hear a relay clicking when buttons on the hand control were pushed, but the light tower would not move. When pushing the down arrow, ERROR 1,11 showed on the display of the hand control. I manually lowered the light tower using the directions under the rearward cover. Once stowed, the hand controller would not raise the light tower again. I've unplugged the light tower hand controller for the time being.

EMS Advancement - EMT Vincent Gomes Aide Status



BVFD Team -

Please join the BVFD Officers in congratulating EMT Vincent Aryan Gomes on becoming our latest Charge EMT status on the Ambulance.

EMT Gomes joined the BVFD in December of 2018 and has worked hard to complete multiple specialized training programs to advance to Charge status.  He completed a dozen required classes.

Even after all of the academy training, EMT Gomes completed many steps before taking command of a BVFD Ambulance. EMT Gomes completed a series of comprehensive written and practical in-station examinations. After completing all tests, EMT Gomes rode “Charge” under the evaluation of an experienced Charge EMT for a series of evaluation calls. This process is designed to allow the EMT to demonstrate knowledge and ability in the field before being in charge of an Ambulance and crew in any situation.

The BVFD congratulates EMT Gomes for completing this challenging process and earning Charge status and his dedication and commitment to serving others, even during a pandemic. Keep up the fine work!

So far this year, despite the pandemic, the BVFD has turned over FIVE new EMS Drivers and FIVE new Charge Aides.  We appreciate the whole Team that makes this advancement pace possible.

EMS Advancement - EMT Sara Samadani Driver Status



BVFD Team -

Please join the BVFD Officers in congratulating EMT Sara Samadani on becoming our latest EMS Unit Driver.

Sara joined the BVFD in August of 2018 and has been consistently taking training classes to earn her status as EMT in Charge and now as an Emergency EMS Driver. Sara completed EVOC, then began working through the BVFD cognitive and practical examinations (on our Ambulance, emergency laws, area streets, and hospital running routes). The final training phase required her to demonstrate proficiency in driving on numerous emergency calls under the evaluation of an experienced Driver. Sara went on a wide variety of emergency calls, including hospital transports, to meet the final requirements and earn Emergency Driver status. The BVFD salutes her hard work and constant dedication.

Chief Ryman and I salute EMT Samadani and all BVFD personnel for their dedication and commitment to serving others and consistently provided vital staffing throughout the pandemic. Keep up the fantastic work!

Several times when reporting to work in the morning I have found the jockey pump to be running. It stays running until either disconnected from shore power or the motor is started and air pressure builds up to above 90 psi. It leads me to believe that the jockey pump has been running all night. This morning I noticed it again. I turned on the battery switch and Ignition switch and watched the air gauge for 5 minutes. The gauge did not move at all and the jockey pump continued to run. It appeared as though the pump has been running for a while and providing no relief to the air pressure in the system.
