Fire Chief Kieran Dunn told the commission the department began using the First Due records management system May 1 for incident reporting, scheduling and inspections, with some reports still being configured.
Fire Chief Kieran Dunn told the Fairfield Fire Commission at its May meeting that the department began using the First Due records‑management system on May 1.
Chief Dunn said the department is already using First Due for incident reporting, scheduling and the fire‑marshal office’s inspections and invoicing, and that the maintenance shop rollout and staff training are coming next. "So far, we've had very few major hiccups," Dunn said.
Commissioners and staff noted some historical reports remain to be rebuilt in the new system and that the maintenance shop module and training are not yet complete. The chief said the department is working to develop the reporting tools needed to capture historical run data, and staff remain engaged in configuring the system.
No votes or funding decisions were taken on the record management system during the meeting; the comments were provided as an operational update.
