May 11, 2026 – Leadership Meeting Minutes
I. DISTRICT ITEMS
• EV Fire Training – Presented by G. Bastien.
• Badge Updates – The district is willing to work with each station’s leadership on new badge orders but cannot fund a full district-wide replacement at once. Badges will not be initially issued due to high turnover rates. Each station is responsible for covering 50% of their own badge order cost.
o ACTION Station leadership to coordinate badge orders with the district. • Medical Supplies and Medical Bags – The district passed its EMS state inspection last month; however, some expired supplies were found. Expired supplies must be replaced during rig checks — expired supplies cannot remain on the rigs.
o ACTION All personnel to verify and replace expired supplies during rig checks.
• 2026 Idaho Fire Academy – 5 personnel are signed up and confirmed. Any additional registrations will be self-funded and self-arranged. Individuals may register independently on the website.
• Volunteer Interviews — May 18 & 19 – Station 1 and Station 2 interviews have been scheduled. Scheduling for Station 3 and Station 4 is in progress.
