Storm Report
2/9/10 – 2/11/10
What a storm we had! Can’t wait till spring!
Not much to report. Things ran pretty much the same way they did during the last storm which is to say very smoothly. Once again the LT Highway Dept., Lafayette FD, LT Fire Dept., and MTPD shined and delivered outstanding service to the residents of LT. In my last storm report I neglected to report the activity on the East side. It is included in this report.
Once again, calls for emergency services were monitored and proper resources sent to assist on the call. The fire departments were automatically dispatched for Class 1 EMS calls (highest class EMS service).
We have many very tight roads in the township. We continue to monitor them to make sure emergency vehicles can get thru or at least get within close proximity of any emergency calls. I recommend considering removing snow on the main routes each fire house uses to access main roads allowing the apparatus adequate room to leave and return to the stations safely. Being proactive now would be wise. Another storm will only narrow the streets even more.
The following call activity does not include any out of township services rendered (mutual aid).

snow update
Just talked with public works department. The guys are still at it. Drifting becoming a headache, but they've finally got ahead of the storm. Rob and I talked about a delay in opening the office tomorrow morning in order to give them time to open up the office parking lot. We'll make an A.M. decission.
No major incident or accidents with either the road crew or the public so far ( knock on wood). We've taken off a few mailboxes by we can sort all that out when this all stops. No trash pick-up tomorrow.

From our waste and recycling coordinator
Lebenon Farms informed me that they have never shut down due to the weather, however, if for some reason, they can’t make it up a street, back an alley, down the road…etc..trash will be collected the following day.
Also, if you speak to any of the residents, please ask them to hold their recycling until next week, if they can, to prevent the container from getting buried and/or blowing away. 40MPH winds are expected tomorrow. Also, I am asking the residents, as they call in, to place their trash in garbage bags, and taking that to the curb rather than their cans. It’ll help out the Haulers tremendously, and will prevent the residents from going out in this weather to retrieve their can.

- No services required.
07/Feb/10 @ 01:19 hrs. Fire- Building- 2nd Alarm @ 1725 Southport Dr.

07/Feb/10 @ 14:30 hrs. Reburn @ 1725 Southport Dr.
- Reburn of the home. Additional overhaul and fire suppression used to extinguish remaining hot spots.
Action Items that took place
On 05/Feb/10 @ approximately 00:00 hrs I went to the American Red Cross warehouse and obtained 10 complete sets of sleeping cots, blankets & pillows for firefighters that volunteered to sleep overnight at each station. We had about 8 individuals remain at the fire stations 24 hrs till the morning of 07/Feb.
On 05/Feb/10 @ approximately 09:00 it was decided that the FD would run on all medical calls in the township due to LEMSA’s extended response times due to road conditions.
KUDOS !!!!!!
- To the MTPD for their excellent service during this storm! In my 28+ years in emergency services in LT I never saw ALL of our assigned police officers in 4 x 4 vehicles. They were present on every major or potential major call we had. I cannot say enough about their mobility during this storm and their presence at calls. They were simply excellent.
- To the volunteers of the LTFD for providing top of line emergency services to LT residents during this storm especially those who volunteered to stay overnight in the stations which greatly reduced their response times to calls. It was also very beneficial to have the FD run on all medical assist calls within LT.
- To the LT Road Crew. Their performance was excellent in conditions that were very poor and with very little down time / rest. Communications with them on trouble spots was excellent. Their assistance on the medical emergency in Sterling Place as well as the fire on Southport was priceless.
Black Marks
- Goes out to PenDot for a lousy job on the state highways. Columbia Ave, Marrietta Ave, Millersville Pk to name just a few were in horrible condition and were still in pretty bad shape this morning 08/Feb.
Conclusion
The BOS had much to be proud of. I traveled in many other areas outside of LT and our township looked better than most. The residents are truly blessed with exceptional personnel and volunteers that worked very hard over the weekend to protect the resident’s health and safety.

Snow Preparation
During the last substantial snowstorm, we ran into problems with vehicles on the road.
Wherever possible, please move your vehicles off the roadway during the snow storm. Especially in our higher density residential areas, it becomes difficult to effectively utilize all of our equipment when there are cars restricting the cartway.
Please also refrain from throwing shoveled snow back onto the roadway. That snow typically gets compacted by cars, then refreezes creating hazardous roadway conditions as well as eating up limited manpower and materials.
Thank you for your assistance and have a safe Super Bowl weekend.
