Holmes, Fire Chief . ~ <br />Michael T. Schutt, Assistant Fire ChieflFire MMSha1~ <br />August 9, 2005 <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Public School Inspection Agreement <br /> <br />Attached you will find an Agreement between the State of Minnesota, Department of <br />Public Safety, and the City of Hastings. Minnesota State Statute requires all public <br />school facilities used for educational purposes to be inspected once every three years in <br />accordance with the requirements of the Minnesota State Fire Code. <br /> <br />History: <br /> <br />The State Fire Marshal's Division is mandated by State Statute to inspect public schools <br />once every three years. Local jurisdiction may contract with the State Fire Marshal to <br />conduct regular inspections. The local Fire Marshal has in the past, under this provision, <br />performed these inspections. <br /> <br />Benefit: <br /> <br />There are several benefits to providing these inspections at the local level. They include: <br /> <br />· Allows staff to remain familiar with the layout of public school facilities. <br />· Allows staff to remain familiar with any hazards associated with the facilities. <br />· Maintains an already close working relationship with school district staff. This <br />becomes very important during emergency situations. <br />· A cost savings of over $11,000 per year for the school district. <br /> <br />FIRE SUPPRESSION <br /> <br />FIRE EDUCATION <br /> <br />FIRE PREVENTION <br /> <br />AMBULANCE SERVICE <br />
