Email 1: Initial Request
From: John Smith [email protected] To: Fire Chief [email protected] Subject: Request for Additional Resources for Upcoming Fireworks Display
Dear Fire Chief,
I hope this email finds you well. As you are aware, our department will be providing coverage for the upcoming fireworks display in downtown area on July 4th. I am writing to request additional resources to ensure a safe and successful event.
Specifically, I am requesting an additional engine company and a rescue unit to be on standby during the event. With the large crowd expected and the potential for inclement weather, I believe this will be a prudent measure to ensure our response capabilities are adequate.
Best, John Smith Captain, Firerescue1
Email 2: Response and Request for Clarification
From: Fire Chief [email protected] To: John Smith [email protected] Subject: Re: Request for Additional Resources for Upcoming Fireworks Display
Dear Captain Smith,
Thank you for your email and for bringing this to my attention. I agree that additional resources would be beneficial for this event. However, I need some clarification on a few points before I can approve your request.
Can you please provide me with the following information:
- What is the estimated crowd size expected for the event?
- Are there any specific areas of concern for the event, such as access routes or potential hazards?
- Have you spoken with the event organizers to confirm their emergency response plan and procedures?
Once I have this information, I will be able to assess the need for additional resources and make a decision.
Best, Fire Chief
Email 3: Response with Additional Information
From: John Smith [email protected] To: Fire Chief [email protected] Subject: Re: Request for Additional Resources for Upcoming Fireworks Display
Dear Fire Chief,
Thank you for your prompt response. I have attached a copy of the event permit, which provides an estimated crowd size of 10,000 people. The event will be held in a large open area with multiple access routes, but I do have some concerns about the proximity of the fireworks display to a nearby residential area.
I have spoken with the event organizers and they have confirmed their emergency response plan, which includes a designated first aid area and a communication plan for emergency situations. However, they do not have a dedicated emergency response team on site.
Based on this information, I believe that an additional engine company and rescue unit would be beneficial to ensure a safe and successful event. I am available to discuss this further if needed.
Best, John Smith Captain, Firerescue1
Email 4: Approval and Logistics
From: Fire Chief [email protected] To: John Smith [email protected] Subject: Re: Request for Additional Resources for Upcoming Fireworks Display
Dear Captain Smith,
Thank you for providing the additional information. Based on the estimated crowd size and the proximity of the fireworks display to the residential area, I have decided to approve your request for an additional engine company and rescue unit.
I have spoken with the battalion chief and we have arranged for Engine 12 and Rescue 5 to be on standby during the event. They will be deployed to the event site at 8pm and will remain on scene until the event is completed.
Please make sure to coordinate with the event organizers to ensure that they are aware of the additional resources and can provide any necessary support.
Best, Fire Chief
