Commissioner Smith is correct. A person was assigned as Training Coordinator. Problem is that one person is not enough to properly train more than 120 firefighters. The Gannon safety report clearly showed that a “ Division Chief “ with no division of people is unsafe. We will hope that Chief Wylam during budget workshops asked for funding to increase the Training “ Division “ appropriately. The Director of training clearly need more hands and help. Add a Training Captain, and a Training Lieutenant to this Division. Safety and Training is paramount. This city, the Duran family, and Austin have already paid the ultimate sacrifice for lack of training and supervision.
