The following are the highlights from November 2021. The complete list of responses will be provided in the Emergency Operations Division Update.
* Hawaii Island and HFD will be hosting the next Hawaii Fire Chiefs Association Conference. The dates are December 15-18 at the Fairmont Orchid in Waikoloa
* The Fire Chief attended a leadership meeting with directors from across the County of Hawaii. One of the results from the leadership meeting is that we will be arranging for the Mayor, Managing Director, and Deputy Managing Director to be firefighters for a day to learn more about the day to day operations and needs of the Hawaii Fire Department.
* Telecommunicator reclassification. We are currently in talks with the Department of Human Resources as they look at reclassifying the dispatcher position for our 911 telecommunicator to better match their current job duties. This has seen a lot of progress and we hope to have a concrete implementation date sometime at the beginning of next year
