Kurt began by giving an update on the EP Fire team consisting of 95 volunteer firefighters, 9 full time staff and 4 fire stations. The full-time staff includes 4 full time fire inspectors whose duties include – fire response, inspecting rental housing and businesses, hazardous materials safety and fire investigation. This time of year, the fire department is called to respond to ice accidents. The general rule is that ice is safe for humans at 4 inches, snowmobiles require 5 – 7 inches, cars 8 - 12 inches and trucks 12 – 15 inches. Thickness can vary greatly so it is recommended that people stay off the ice at night. When traveling on ice, open a door or window for escape as the doors may not open until the car is fully submerged. Self-rescue is the best means of survival, so experts recommend you carry ice picks and wear life jackets. You have from five to fifteen minutes before being overcome by the elements.
