2012 CFPI - CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
MONDAY
CLASS TITLE: Staffing Your Bureau in Today’s Economy
CLASS PRESENTERS: Randy Metz – Fire Marshal, Moreno Valley Fire
Jason Nailon – Deputy Fire Marshal, Apple Valley Fire
Fire Departments across the state have had to make difficult choices the past few years as budgets have been reduced due to the current economy. Many departments have been forced to make substantial cuts within their fire prevention bureaus due to these budget constraints. This seminar will explore the use of alternative staffing workforces within our fire prevention bureaus so that mandated inspections as well as new development can continue in a timely manner. Topics such as use of part time, volunteer, retired annuitant, and contract employment will be explored. Additionally, the seminar will explore various different funding sources to pay for your alternative workforce such as fees, Assistance to Firefighter Grants, Community Development Block Grants, private funding sources, and non-profit status. Attendees should leave the seminar with a good starting point to retaining existing employees or establishing new positions when their budgets can't support additional full time employees.

You will hear perspective on how code directly relates to fireground operations, and how a commitment to fire prevention and a good understanding of operations is essential for all stakeholders.

Content is ideal for students from smaller or volunteer organizations who wish to enhance their public education and prevention efforts. Students will outline ideas and plans that they would like to apply when they return home. Students who take this 2-day program will be able to determine if public education is valued in their organizations and in their communities.

CLASS TITLE: The Way We Were
CLASS PRESENTERS: Gene Gantt
In this presentation the students will have a full interactive conversation with each other and the instructor. The topic is taking the great Barbara Streisand song and we will start the class with the first word of this song- "Memories." We will retrospectively look back at the good time in the California Fire Service and especially Fire Prevention. Those "good ol times" were the early 2000.
We will move on from there through the "crash" in 2008/2009 where everything started falling apart and move into 2012 and the future. What did we have? What did we lose? What do we have now and how are we coping with it? What will we most probable never see again and what are we going to do about it?
This presentation will move students through all of this based on how they saw and currently see Fire Prevention.
