St. Paul Island, AK operates under a Public Safety style dept, with paid Police Officers who are also trained at a minimum as first responders and basic firefighters. However, most have higher levels of training. Here are a few photos of their equipment. In the bed of the of F-150 is a Tri-Max 30 CAFS unit, that was recently moved the bed of the F-350.


EMS has about 10 volunteers, ranging from drivers to EMT-Bs and the Fire Division has a roster of about 30 volunteers, of which about 15 are active at bi-monthly meetings and training.

And it's nothing but an empty lot now. All cleaned up like it never happened.


For those who are wondering though, this was the end result of the fire:

Awesome and thanks for sharing.


Couple of questions...


1) Do you guys have hydrants?


2) Isn't St Paul a major fish offloading port? Wouldn't that include big warehouses and processing plants? I would figure the industry would sponsor newer and larger equipment to protect their assets.


Thanks!

We do, granted there is no good system in place for marking them in the heavy snow falls.

It is, one of the largest crab processing facilities in the world. They aren't overly concerned for some reason. If the worst happened there are plenty of processing vessels that would be happy to pickup the slack :/


Thanks!

I saw little orange plastic flags on hydrants in Fairbanks, on a little pole about five feet high - would that be too small for the snow you get there?
