am pleased to present the 2020 Annual Report. This report provides an overview of the activities associated Z L1,P AKHI� HSDLW HQW� P HLJ HCF-5 HvSROML) LLIH-3 IJF *UMO_I_Q IIDLC U DMI0 FFKDCLFM Divisions. 2020 began as any other year with the typical challenges that winter weather brings. Even though we were hearing news coming out of China about a virus, no one could have predicted a pandemic would be upon us within a few short months here in Canada. It has been an uphill battle to mitigate its spread and as we scrambled to understand the coronavirus, we focused on sourcing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), hand sanitizer and masks while we quickly changed protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of staff and the residents we serve. Unprecedented times required XCSU+TU-CW--j-FKDQJ HI DQQZ H+IQXWC 7 MA661 JRl -8 QCHI`1A6i1QM rL I]WII& QUIDJ VRQVII ) LUH)I U K\KVL$ WR DEC" RFD(X❑11❑WHWL1H VXI I LFLHWYB I LQJ �I)N� RX&EH❑ available should the need arise. The pandemic also brought to the forefront a need for review of the Municipal Business Continuity Plan. Each pandemic can present different challenges and COVID-19 has provided many learning opportunities for management and staff, identifying areas for improvement. With municipal buildings closed to the public, staff were required to provide solutions to various services that would normally be provided in person. With the assistance of the Communications Department, CEFS created an online application process for burn permits. Although we are still working on an online payment process, the pandemic has generated a more efficient service for residents of Clarington. The department saw unprecedented change in our human resources as well. With & RXCFLCV support, we increased our fulltime Suppression complement with the hiring of four additional firefighters. Along with six new firefighters to backfill for retirements, the Training Division was challenged to train all 10 new hires as well as those that were promoted as a result of these changes. & RXC R0 DSSU?v DPI 40--I ❑❑❑NXGJ FNU'Z HG V6 I G- ISDLW HQM-EHJ LaSKD\AQJ :ILID electrics cars to our fleet with the purchase of two new Chevrolet Bolts. Council also approved the establishment of a Motor Vehicle Collision (MVC) Cost Recovery Program. The Program allows the department to invoice non-Clarington residents for \ A4 ' r4-K do P ( ) 6 FQ1 P I�/M 9 & municipal roadways. As I reflect on the past year, I would like to express my appreciation for the hard work and dedication each member of the department continues to provide. Thank you Mayor Foster, members of Council and municipal staff for your continued support.

In addition to promoting frequent hand washing/sanitizing, social distancing and staff staying home when unwell, the Department underwent an extensive review of our operations with the safety of our staff and public at the forefront. Following Provincial guidelines, many of the programs we provide were cancelled. This included our very popular Junior Firefighter Camp and Family Safety Day. All public education events in the community and schools were also cancelled. As a result, Fire Prevention staff implemented other methods of communicating fire safety messages to the residents of Clarington. In order to minimize potential exposure, members of our Administration and Fire Prevention staff began working from home. Fire Chiefs throughout Durham Region also reviewed their Durham Region Medical Tiered Response Agreements with Durham Region EMS to determine if the service level provided by Fire should be reduced in order to minimize the risk of firefighters contracting the virus. &GLQDJ\RQVr$JLWP HCWU- IRLZ H*O&EIP Acute Chest Pain and/or Shortness of Breath/Difficulty Breathing regardless of EMS response time. This Agreement waVAW SRLDIII LGRZ QJ LD HY1-O$ IT7 LHIU-IG-5 MVSRQM A tiered response will be requested by the Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC) within one (1) minute of EMS dispatch when the EMS response time is anticipated to be greater than ten (10) minutes for the following emergency requests for service: Acute Chest Pain and/or Shortness of Breath/Difficulty Breathing (not on calls originating from long-term care (LTC) facilities, medical facilities or other locations with an available on -site Emergency First Responder (EFR) program or higher level of care). As a result, Medical/Resuscitator calls were approximately 34 percent of our total call volume for 2020. Prior to the pandemic, Medical/Resuscitator calls would total approximately 54 percent of all calls. Station Cleanliness In addition to the increase in personal sanitization, we implemented vigorous cleaning and sanitization procedures in our stations, trucks and equipment. These changes spiked the use of cleaning and disinfectant products dramatically. Page 9 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Prior to the pandemic, firefighters would wear their bunker pants, medical gloves, SCBA or safety glasses or personal eyeglasses accompanied by a helmet face shield, N95 mask and a medical gown (as required). During the pandemic firefighters must wear the equipment listed above as well as a Tyvek suit and face shield. A heightened awareness of what protective measures can be applied to the way we normally do things has helped keep our staff safe with zero COVID-19 cases reported.

The retirement of suppression members in 2020 provided us the opportunity to promote firefighters Rob Van Wees, Myles McCaul, Aidan Preston, Phil Harrison and Kurt Zauerhagen to fulltime from our volunteer ranks. Council also approved a budget to increase our fulltime firefighter complement from 56 to 60. Firefighters Pierce Warwick, Cody Carson, Ryan Mulrooney and Ryan Stafford were promoted to fulltime from our volunteer ranks.

Volunteer Recruits CEFS hired 17 new volunteer firefighters targeting our full complement of 25 volunteer firefighters for each of our five stations. 4 Andrew Nolte les Kayle Paul Fray Tanner Gallant fvlatthew Micq� F s Risnyk ch to Allen Jewell Page 17 Training Every year staff perform vital training necessary to meet the legislative requirements of the Ontario Fire Prevention and Protection Act (FPPA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act of Ontario (OHSA). Training expanded in the following areas for 2020. Rope Rescue Li Rapid Deployment Bag; staff received extensive training in the use of a new Rapid Deployment Bag (RDB). Our Rope Rescue Technicians provided instruction on what the RDB is used for, how to use it and when it should be used. The RDB allows for one firefighter to secure themselves to an anchor and lower themselves to a trapped person within a matter of minutes. Then they are able to secure the person and provide some medical care if required while the remainder of the crew is setting up the rope rescue equipment. Tanker Operations; through the efforts of the Training Division and Volunteer Captains, CEFS successfully trained 13 volunteer firefighters in Tanker Operations. All suppression staff are required to have a DZ license. Although licensed to drive a Tanker, each driver must learn how to operate the various equipment on the apparatus. This training consists of a road course, tanker familiarization, pump operations, tanker shuttle and water evolutions. At a fire scene the driver must remain with the apparatus at all times as they are responsible for hooking up the hose, maintaining water supply to fire operations and shuttling water from a source to the fire scene. Pumper Operations; all fulltime staff are trained on Pumper Operations within the first year of becoming a fulltime firefighter. Firefighters rotate their position within the apparatus each shift allowing each member to utilize their skills at various calls. Pumper Driver/Operator training encompasses the standards _ established by the National Fire Protection Association, Standard 1002. Seven volunteers and one fulltime firefighter were trained in Pumper Operations. Aerosol Transmissible Diseases (ATD)-, after successfully completing this training, staff can: #' C Recall the various kinds of aerosol transmissible Via- diseases Describe the contents of the aerosol A., transmissible diseases standard Identify the various modes of transmission A Recognize the signs and symptoms of yy ATDs Describe when and how to use respiratory protection, Summarize the procedures for disinfecting and decontaminating i equipment, etc. Page 18 Financial Highlights Operating Budget Gross Operating Budget spending in 2020 was $13,293,549.87.
