Wandersee, Assistant Fire Chief <br />Item Description <br />Reviewed by <br />Agreement with Elk River Municipal Utilities for <br />Mark Dickinson, Fire Chief <br />Reviewed by <br />Live Burn Training at 1627 and 1639 Main Street <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, an agreement with Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) to do live burn training at <br />homes located at 1627 and 1639 Main Street. <br />Background/Discussion <br />ERMU has requested the house structures at 1627 and 1639 Main Street be demoed in order to build <br />their new complex. The generous donation of the structures has allowed Elk River Fire, Elk River Police, <br />and several law enforcement agencies to conduct training needed to enhance skills to perform their <br />duties. Performing live fire training is essential to firefighter development and safety and will enhance the <br />response capabilities of the fire department for the community. <br />The current plat is to burn 1627 Main Street on April 17 and 1639 Main Street on April 24 depending on <br />weather/wind conditions. We hope to have the burns completed by May 1. <br />Financial Impact <br />None. All costs associated with the live burns are provided for within the current training and operations <br />budgets within the fire department. The Minnesota Board of Fire and Training and Education will <br />reimburse a portion of the training budget based on availability of funds at the time of submittal. ERMU <br />is responsible for the cost of abatement and clean up. <br />Attachments <br />■ Agreement <br />R'01WIHE8 6T <br />Template Updated 4/14 INAMIRE1 <br />
