Opening Statement

It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. Well my FD is in need. We are in need of things that are hard to come by. Time & Money. We still need to train. Our environment is one of increasing call load and increasing certification requirements. We are struggling to keep up. It is the intention of the St. Charles Fire Department to use technology to help us close the gap.. The gap is not having any time.. Not being able to move our trucks out of position because we do not have enough equipment. Not having enough money to send everyone to the classes we need to.

We will use technology to help span the gap....
