Chief’s Report to the Burlington Fire Commission

Personnel: We had two members resign recently. Jared Markovsky is pursuing a fire service
career in Maine and Alec Johnson is relocating to Florida. We wish them the best and thank them
for their service to the city. Chief LaChance’s last tour is 6/30/25. This will create 6 vacancies.
The plan as of now will be to start the next recruit school earlier than April, possibly October of
this year. BC of Training Troy Ruggles will be promoted to Deputy Chief of Operations and
SFF Adam Savoy will be promoted to BC of Training on 7/7/25. Congratulations to both.

Responses: In April and May of 2025, the fire department has responded to 1,855 calls for
service. During the same period in 2024, we responded to 1,651, a 12.35 % increase.

 2024 2025
 • Minimum Staffing Overtime: 1652.25 hrs 1688.75 hrs
 • Mandatory Minimum Staffing Overtime: 305.5 hrs 317.25 hrs

The above data shows a 2.2% increase in Minimum Staffing Overtime and a 3.8% increase in
Mandatory Minimum Staffing Overtime during the same period last year. Overall, the minimum
staffing overtime burden on the employees and city budget increased by 2.5%.
Note: The above overtime burden on the staff accounts for Minimum Staffing Overtime, giving
us the 22 people required to meet minimum staffing levels. This does not account for extra duty
jobs or CRT overtime. In the same period, our staff committed to the following extra duty and
CRT overtime:
 • Extra Duty: 155 hrs
 • CRT Overtime: 611.5 hrs

Fleet: Preliminary work has started on creating specs for an RFP for a new Ladder 2 and an
ambulance. Build times are still around 44 months.

Buildings: Station 2 floor project is nearing completion with concrete being poured last
Thursday. It will have to cure and be sealed before we can move back in sometime in July.
Currently, Ladder 2 has been relocating to downtown for the night tour.

Community Response Team Pilot: We have given Buprenorphine once in the field and
transported the patient to UVMMC. Unknown on outcome but will follow up with Dr. Wolfson.
Members can now offer Buprenorphine to a patient suffering from withdrawals without having
had Narcan first.




We are tracking data from the CRT deployment. Below are some metrics showing the program's
impact. This data shows how many people the team has touched, the quantity of wound care
supplies handed out, comfort care supplies distributed, Narcan leave-behind kits distributed, the
number of referrals, direct phone requests, and incidents where the team went above and beyond
in their duties.

Fire Marshal’s Office:
 • The FMO conducted two fire extinguisher trainings for businesses in the City last month
 with the new fire extinguisher training prop. Attendees where excited to that they were
 able to see real fire instead of the usual video screen training they have received from
 other trainers in the past. Live fire is important to see because not everybody is
 comfortable around fire. This style of training helps them to decide if they want to fight
 the fire before evacuating.
 • BSD had a short run of students damaging chrome books by shorting out the charging
 ports because of TikTok challenges. We had one fire last month because of this which
 caused no building damage or injuries. TikTok challenges are always changing and the
 FMO has spoken with some students about the dangers of these challenges. I have
 offered to speak to all schools specifically about these challenges, but have not had a
 reply yet.
 • Construction is booming in the city. New construction as well as remodeling has taken
 off and a lot of large projects are in the pipeline, but are dependent on zoning changes.


Training Division:
 • We completed the Lateral Recruit Academy 25-01 on May 30, 2025. Captain Blake
 did a super job as always with the class. All recruits have been assigned to their
 respective crews and will complete their one-year probation. We learned a lot about
 running this academy for laterals both positive and negative. We will utilize the
 lessons learned going forward in future academies.
 • We are working with the US Coast Guard on a multi-jurisdictional drill coming up in
 August to be held at the USCG station Burlington.
 • We are pleased to advise that the AFG funding for our live fire training has been
 freed up and we will be scheduling these for this Fall. I am hopeful we will be able to
 complete these before the grant deadline of June 2026.
 • We are in to our summer training program where we are allowing more company
 level drills to be managed by the company officers. We provide the topic and the
 necessary tools and the officer coordinates on shift for completing the training. You
 may have seen our members at the waterfront for water rescue and or the Moran
 Frame &Rock Point for rope rescue or at any other location in the city. We have
 energetic, skilled and proactive officers and members honing their skills every day.
 • We have been adding to our drill yard at McNeil. A new container for storage of
 equipment was added to remove storage within the training building itself and we
 also are adding a 20-foot container to replace our wooden roof prop.
 • The BC of training was asked to conduct a training for VT 911 call takers in
 Montpelier on May 28th. The purpose of the training was to enhance knowledge of
 the fire service for those call takers/dispatchers.
 • The UVM Med Center tour and training proved beneficial when shortly thereafter we
 responded to an auto fire in the parking garage. Members operated efficiently and
 mitigated the problem quickly.
 • We have members attending water rescue and rope rescue training coming up. One
 of our members is finishing his two-week class at NFA.

EMS Division:

The EMS Division is currently in the midst of our June department-wide training initiative. We
were fortunate to welcome Brigid Blazek, a certified de-escalation trainer and Community
Service Officer, who provided a condensed 2.5-hour de-escalation course to our department
members. This training was both timely and highly impactful, offering practical tools to enhance
our response strategies during high-stress interactions.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Brigid, the Community Service Liaisons, CAIP Division
Supervisor Lacey-Ann Smith, and the Burlington Police Department for their support and
collaboration. This partnership is particularly meaningful, as the Burlington Police Department
typically does not provide de-escalation training outside of their own personnel. Their
willingness to share resources with our division demonstrates a commendable commitment to
interdepartmental cooperation and public safety.

Following this training cycle, the EMS Division will shift focus toward several key initiatives:

 • Patient Safety SOG Update: We are in the process of updating and introducing a new
 Standard Operating Guideline focused on patient safety.

 • EVOC Refresher: In collaboration with the Fire Training Division, we will be
 coordinating a refresher course on Emergency Vehicle Operations Certification (EVOC)
 to ensure continued operational excellence and safety.

 • QA/QI Documentation Improvements: We are also partnering with our QA/QI
 Committee to evaluate and enhance our documentation practices, update relevant SOGs,
 and develop a clear, user-friendly documentation guide for our members.

We look forward to continuing these efforts to support our personnel, improve patient care, and
ensure high standards across all EMS operations

Below is information about response types, training information, and a company-level inspection
report.

April 25th, 2025
Chief’s Report – Burlington Police Commission


Personnel: The agency is carrying vacant positions in the Emergency Communications Center, Police
Officer ranks, Community Service Officers, and the CAIP. Our recruitment team is hard at work
processing sixteen police officer applicants, which is a strong number. The applicants are at various
stages in the hiring process, one job offer has been extended to a police officer applicant. Police Officer
and CSO application data is encouraging, the hiring process is rigorous:




The department continues to respond to incidents leveraging all elements of the organization:
Sworn, CSO, CAIP, and community partners like Street Outreach. Within the set there are no
trends of significance.




 Page 23 of 39
Sworn personnel are attending to numerous incidents which culminate with arrest. An open
data question under exploration – what categories of criminal arrest drove the sharp increase
2022 – 2023?




The department remains focused on responses to incidents related to unmet social service
needs:




These data sets are of interest in evaluating how the City invests in social service provision.
Currently the police department budget supports the Howard Center Street Outreach Team and
the BPD Crisis, Advocacy, Intervention Program to better address these incidents. It is




 Page 24 of 39
important to note that often the initial response to many of these incidents involve a police
officer due to reported danger acuity.

The department has been meeting with the leadership of the Fire Department and the
Administration to examine demands on City services related to substance use disorder. Our
goal - using our combined resources with improved efficacy and efficiency. An example of initial
data exploration:




The line “BPD calls for service potential overdose” highlight the public’s perception of increased
drug consumption in public places. EMS data accounts for the actual number of incidents which
involved substance use.

In closing, I have just completed my first 30 days with BPD. I have had the opportunity to hold
one on one meetings with ninety percent of BPD’s formal leaders, several City Councilors, and a
variety of other community stakeholders. This is also a busy season in terms of budget and
collective bargaining. I look forward to adding dimensions to this monthly report - department
training, specific incidents, data analysis, employee accomplishments, etc. It’s my distinct honor
to serve as the City’s Interim Chief of Police.

Chief’s Report – Burlington Police Commission


Personnel: The agency has vacant positions in the Emergency Communications Center, Police Officer
ranks, and CAIP – the Community Service Officer team is fully staffed. The department received three
police officer applications in May.




Operations: The department continues to respond to incidents leveraging all elements of the
organization: Sworn, CSO, CAIP, and Street Outreach.




 Page 26 of 39
The department has been more intentional in patrol deployment strategy this spring. The “top ten”
incident types for the latest operating period illustrate the department’s activities in comparison to
recent years:




The department remains focused on the impact of incidents related to unmet social service
needs – little change seen in the data for this operating period.




 Page 27 of 39
The department has continued to track overdose data. There was a sharp increase in the number of
reported overdose incidents. EMS confirmed drug events tracked the trend but not to an alarming level.
Anecdotally, there was information in the community about a specific brand of potent heroin.




Policy / Direction: During the months of April and May the department has been focused on the
following:

 • Formal recruitment plan issued to the Recruitment Division from the Interim Chief of Police.
 • Focused foot patrol initiatives in City Hall Park and on Church Street – Uniform Services and CSO
 ranks.
 • Improvements / Updates to the Police Department web site.
 • Improved customer service greeting created for the BPD business phone lines.
 • Engaged with the Hot Spot working group - City Attorney / Burlington Business & Workforce
 Development.
 • Direction given to the leadership of the CSO and CAIP Teams - develop departmental directives
 for their areas of responsibility.
 • Working closely with the City Data Team in developing products which illustrate our work, the
 overlap with social services, and Fire / EMS. This is foundational as we approach working with
 the Situation Table.
 • Shannon Trammell is managing the extensive construction projects at BPD headquarters.
 • FY 26 Budget preparation.

* The “Near” category is intended as an alert that a case is close to the time to disposition goal when active days are in this range. It is the interval between
0.75 of the disposition guideline and the disposition. For example, if the disposition guideline is 120 days, near would be 90 – 120 days, under would be less
than 90 days and over would be greater than 120 days.

** “N/A” is an abbreviation for not applicable. The Judiciary utilizes a data tool, CORE, for measuring disposition time. The implementation of disposition
guidelines in CORE is focused on the interval between case filing and entry of judgment for Court Statistics Project (CSP) case types having a disposition
guideline. Circumstances where a case would have a guideline status of “n/a” would include reopened disposition (aka post judgment) or a case type with no
disposition guideline. (These are predominantly VOP cases)
