Rig Checks
Please remember to put your rig checks in e-Pro. I realize that the Chili and Scottsville Rigs do not match our current e-Pro rig checks. Please check what’s appropriate and then make comments in the comment box as necessary. Please be patient we are working on getting the Chili and Scottsville rig checks in e-Pro so they will be rig specific but it’s going to be a little while before this is complete. Any questions see me, thanks Jim! read more
Chili Station Phone
The Chili Station phone has been reconfigured and we now have an IP phone at that base. This phone is the same phone as what we have at the HVA Station. So any call that comes in to our main number 585-334-4190 will ring at Chili also. Guidelines that we are going to try to follow is if phone rings more the 3 times Gabrielle is occupied and someone needs to answer the phone. Chili can transfer just like we do at HVA and the Chili Ext is 151. Also the main Chili number (889-8614)... read more

Supply Exchange with 4th Batt. FD
Apparently Chili Ambulance was supplying equipment and supplies to the fire departments on scene. If they used a cannula, c-collar, etc. they would exchange one for one. I let the 4th Batt Fire Chiefs (Chili, Gates, Clifton, Churchville, and Mumford) that we will not be continuing that practice. If you are asked for equipment / supplies at the scene, politely decline. We will continue to fill oxygen cylinders, exchange will occur at the CHS ambulance station in Chili. read more
