ANNOUNCEMENTS

As you know, the CFEMA has been working on a standard vehicle inspection form. We felt that due to some unfortunate incidents throughout the country with apparatus, that a standard, simple form, to be used by the drivers, similer to one used by truck drivers in the private sector, can be used to catch possible problems with apparatus before a serious problem occurs. This form can be used by all Departments for the drivers pre-trip inspection as required by the DOT.  We will be  willing to work with departments to help adapt this form for their use.

THE FORM AND ASSOCIATED INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN THE "DOWNLOADS" AREA FOUND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS WEBPAGE.

Request For Help

From Jim Allan, Fairfield FD

The son of a good friend of mine is looking to do intern work in some truck repair shops this summer. He is a Diesel Technology major the State University of New York at Cobleskill. The degree program includes a full range of courses for diagnostics, maintenance, repair and restoration. There are also related courses in hydraulic systems and controls, metals fabrication and welding. In addition there are courses in the physical sciences, English comp, math, etc. As part of the program he needs some hands on, real shop time. My friend asked if any of our members could help out. He is not looking to be compensated for his time, only for some shop time and an opportunity to spend time with some of our talented mechanics. The commitment could be for a few days to a few weeks. He is willing to travel anywhere in the state, but he does live in Fairfield County.

 
If anyone is interested in helping out or has any other ideas where he could intern please contact me and I will have him get in touch with you. This could be a new way for our association to promote and encourage new people into our field of work!
 
Thank You,
Jim Allan
